About the Book
Leadership, Forged in Real Decisions
Most leadership books are written from theory. This one was written from the field. Dr. Willie Ng spent more than three decades making decisions where the wrong call had real consequences — as a San Antonio police officer and detective, a federally deputized U.S. Secret Service Marshal, and Chief Criminal Investigator leading 54 investigators. He built a statewide company from his kitchen table and led through a stage 4 cancer diagnosis.
Split-Second Leadership takes the discipline, self-awareness, and decision-making that carried him through those moments and turns them into practical leadership you can use — whether you lead a team, a company, or a family.
