“Dunwoody presents a list of leadership strategies that she learned during the course of her 37-year military career. These strategies work just as well in business and in life as they do in the U.S. Army.”

“A straight shooter who tells it like it is, [Dunwoody] is uniquely qualified to teach, inspire, empower and entertain readers of all ages.”
Bookviews blog, May 2015
“Filled with practical business advice.”
Internet Review of Books, 4/26/15
“Tells the story of a dedicated individual who strives and succeeds….I highly recommend this enjoyable and easy-to-read book to anyone interested in improving leadership skills or seeking encouragement to stretch toward a goal.”
The Bookworm Sez (syndicated column), 7/27/15
“You'll learn leadership tips from on and off the battlefield…You'll find a wealth of advice perfectly fit for business…Dunwoody's story is empowering and entertaining, and instructive to civilians unfamiliar with Army life…There's enough biography here to satisfy readers of the genre, and anyone aspiring for leadership will find that as well…If you're curious about the life of a history-maker, then putA Higher Standardat your service.”
Tampa Bay Times, 9/10/15
“Combines personal memoir with leadership lessons.”
Midwest Book Review, August 2015
“Offers practical, tactical advice that everyone can use to lead and achieve with maximum success…As impressively well written, organized and presented as Ann Dunwoody herself,A Higher Standardis as informed and informative an account as it is thoughtful and thought-provoking. A truly extraordinary story.”
Tampa Bay Times, 10/18/15
“Though a memoir, the book is very much a manual for business leaders. Dunwoody offers a variety of advice, from how to not let people slide to embracing diversity.”
Roanoke Times, 5/24/15
“This memoir chronicles not only the life of an extraordinary woman, but lays out a guideline for those who follow—either male or female, military or civilian. The rules she sets forth, learned and practiced through 38 years of unrelenting effort, though no guarantee of equal success, are surely a path to failure if their wisdom is brushed aside…In short, this book ought to be required reading for every basic leadership class.”
InfoDad, 5/28/15
“Ann Dunwoody became the first four-star female general in United States history when President George W. Bush nominated her to that rank in 2008. It was a remarkable accomplishment—just how remarkable becomes clear from A Higher Standard…There is plenty that is uplifting in her story. She stands for values that many now consider old-fashioned but without which there might never have been a United States, certainly not one as powerful as the nation is today…Dunwoody had a remarkable Army career, and a remarkably successful one; and her recounting of what she did and how she did it is engaging, involving and often fascinating.”
"[Dunwoody's] insight into how to create good relationships with superiors, peers, and subordinates and to earn their trust and respect is invaluable."—Lead with the Left

"An amazing, uplifting story—and an important one for us to learn from. Ann Dunwoody was our first female four–star general, not because she was a great female soldier, but because she was simply a great soldier. She drove change—blazing a trail through myriad challenges—and did it with extraordinary wisdom courage, and a selfless commitment to soldiers. An inspirational guidebook for anyone trying to make their team or organization better."—General Stanley McChrystal (U.S. Army, Retired), author ofMy Share of the TaskandTeam of Teams
