Welcome! I’m David Guerra.
I’m a proud native Texan, husband, father, U.S. Army Infantry veteran, author, vlogger, and blogger.
As a writer, I focus on two powerful subjects: Leadership at all levels and West Berlin, Germany during the Cold War (1945–1990). While it may seem like an unusual mix, both are deeply personal to me. My time with the U.S. Army’s Berlin Brigade in West Berlin was life-changing. I served alongside some of the greatest leaders I’ve ever known—leaders who taught me the value of discipline, resilience, and the importance of leading oneself before leading others.
That lesson shaped my approach to leadership and continues to drive my work today.
My core message: Leadership begins with Self-Leadership.
True leaders are forged from the inside out—by individuals who take initiative, act with integrity, and set the standard for others to follow.
If you’re a current or aspiring leader, remember this:
You must first lead yourself before you can truly lead others.
The walking leader (Book)
My first book on leadership. Written as my response to the concept of Managing By Walking Around (MBWA). MBWA is the concept of getting out of your office and walking the among those out on the company floor, the frontlines, and getting to know and understand the people that make you a leader.
walking leader podcast
A semi-weekly podcast focused on the 20 Rules found in the books The Walking Leader & Great To Follow as well as other Self-Leadership concepts and principles. With over 300 episodes, hosted by David Guerra, it has never been easier to BREAK FROM THE CROWD and be the WALKING LEADER.
