{"product_id":"ground-truth-nemecek-9798996964000","title":"Ground Truth: The FRONTLINE Leadership System for the American Workforce","description":"\u003cp\u003eGround Truth is a field manual for the people who actually run American work: the shift leads, crew chiefs, plant supervisors, and first-time managers who were promoted for being good at the job and then handed a team with no system for leading it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDean Nemecek spent 26 years in the Army, commanded a recruiting battalion of 110 soldiers, and then led talent acquisition teams at Trek Bikes and Clarios. He watched the same failure repeat in both worlds: the best operator gets promoted, gets no leadership system, and fails in front of the crew that used to respect them. Ground Truth is the fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book lays out FRONTLINE, nine behaviors that translate what works in a platoon into what works on a production floor, in a warehouse, or on a service team. Each chapter covers one behavior with the situations where it matters, the tool to run it, and a quick win a leader can execute on the next shift. Every tool is also available in the FRONTLINE Companion App.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for frontline leaders and the executives who develop them, Ground Truth is direct, practical, and built from time in the dirt, starting with four hours at Fort Bragg that shaped everything after. If you lead people who do real work, this is the system you were never given.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDean Nemecek is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, and founder of Veteran Bridge Solutions, an SDVOSB leadership development and veteran hiring firm in Ephraim, Wisconsin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nemecek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798996964000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Veteran Bridge Solutions, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Nemecek","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50848713244927,"sku":"9798996964000","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ground-truth-nemecek-9798996964000","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
