Tough: Your Employees Demand It

A Russian linguist decoding Cold War secrets. A postal worker defending the dignity of everyday labor. A Civil Air Patrol commander mentoring young leaders. Through it all, E.J. Leonard was watching. And writing it all down.“Get Tough: Your Employees Demand It” gathers poems written across six decades of an extraordinary ordinary life. By turns funny, sharp, tender, and quietly subversive, these poems explore war and patriotism, love and loneliness, race cars and television, postage stamps and the people society too often overlooks.Leonard celebrated the humble, questioned the powerful, and never stopped paying attention. The result is a collection that feels as relevant, surprising, and human today as when the poems were first written.Published posthumously by his niece, this collection offers an intimate glimpse into the inner life of a man who never stopped wondering about the world and spent a lifetime trying to make sense of it through service, reflection, and the written word.
