Author Jennifer London seeks to pass along her late husband's lessons on leadership to the next generation, via a new book “Ever Vigilant.”
She co-authored the work with her husband Jack Phillip London before his death in 2021 and the work was released last year.
Jack Philip London spent his life and career building one of America's most prominent defense contracting firms, CACI.
Dr. J. Phillip London, a retired Navy Captain, and a 2019 U.S. Naval Academy Distinguished Graduate was a patriot and former military officer who became a legend in the United States government contracting industry. His memoir “Ever Vigilant, Leadership and Legacy by the Executive Chairman of CACI.” tells a powerful story about winning and achieving excellence, and Dr. Jennifer London shares the many lessons in leadership featured in the book during her speaking engagements.
Dr. Jennifer London is currently engaged in a media and speaking tour to carry on her late husband's legacy of leadership and sat down with American Liberty News during last week's Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Maryland.
In the book, J. Phillip London outlines 12 attributes that successful leaders need to possess or develop on their leadership journeys, and when asked about what she most frequently shares with college students, Jennifer London said that the process of taking accountability was a key practice of successful leaders.
London told American Liberty News ‘taking accountability and owning your vision, whether the outcome is negative to themselves or positive is something top leaders are able to do. This is something that President Kennedy outlined in his book ‘Profiles in Courage', and something that Jack learned from his role models – four-star admirals from WWII – who made decisions based on whether it was right, not concerned about how it would impact them.”
In addition to her work as an author and speaker, Dr. Jennifer London is the president of her own consulting firm, where she has evaluated and developed potential customers nationwide for the development of new and expanded markets for companies ranging from private businesses to Fortune 100 corporations. Much of Dr. Jennifer London's current time is spent focusing on military and patriotic initiatives. As such, proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit U.S. Navy-affiliated charities. Last month, Jennifer London was appointed to be the honorary chair of the Navy League Foundation Board of Directors.
