About The Book
On Mission serves as a resource for personal leadership development, crafted by John Buford and Sean Georges, former Marine Corps officers with a combined 80 years of military, business, nonprofit, education, and wilderness leadership experience. This book is for those who aspire to lead authentically across the spectrum of their lives by taking responsibility for and committing to their unique learning journey.
Using a simple but powerful servant leadership model with a focus on mission, the authors share practical, fundamental, and timeless leadership concepts designed to help readers understand what it means to lead in an authentic way. The book is intended to be transformational and personal in nature, written to change the way aspiring leaders understand and approach leading across the spectrum of their own lives and help them answer the key question, “What is my best and highest role, in support of my teammates, in alignment with our mission?” The authors provide readers with the tools and perspective needed to navigate and shape their own unique developmental journey.

Praise
On Mission Leadership
John Buford and Sean Georges became best friends at the age of 8, were high school football teammates, and went through basic training together. John served as a Marine Corps officer for more than 20 years before earning his Ph.D. in education and becoming a certified wilderness medicine instructor, college professor, outdoor educator, and wilderness expedition leader. Sean is a Naval Academy graduate who served in the Marine Corps for 13 years, then earned advanced law degrees, and worked for more than 20 years in the corporate world as a senior vice president of human resources and general counsel.
Through the decades, these two “leadership geeks” remained close, studied widely, and exchanged countless viewpoints on the subject. As servant leaders, both men consider it their personal mission to lead authentically in their own lives and develop leadership in others along the way.
To that end, they founded On Mission Leadership, LLC (an initiative created to equip and support leaders on their intentional path) and encapsulated their years of experience and conclusions in On Mission: Your Journey to Authentic Leadership.
