Leadership Learned on the Front Lines
After leaving active service in 2005, Donovan attended Harvard Business School, where he graduated with high distinction and was named a Baker Scholar for performing in the top 5% of this class. During his second year of the master’s program, Donovan was recalled to active service, and in 2008 he deployed to Afghanistan as a Captain supporting Special Operations Command, Central. He was awarded a Defense Meritorious Service Medal for exceptional service overseas. In May of 2009, Random House published Joker One, Donovan’s New York Times best-selling memoir about his combat infantry leadership experiences. His second book on character-based servant-leadership will be published by Random House in March of 2013.
