Transitioning military veterans enter the workforce with diverse experiences and tremendous leadership capacities; yet, achieving the potential benefit for both firm and veteran requires a considerably deeper understanding of what is required for success than either appreciates. The challenge is significant. In 2014, a survey conducted by Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families found that nearly half of veterans leave their first post-military position within a year.
