My Story



Hello, I'm Mike Harms, the founder of Tenor Publications LLC—a dedicated repository for self-published books on leadership and management. With over 20 years of hands-on experience as a senior Warrant Officer in the U.S. Army's Aviation Branch, I've honed my expertise in tackling tactical challenges that directly impact the lethality and survivability of aviation assets, including people, aircraft, and equipment. This real-world foundation has equipped me to bridge the gap between theory and practice, offering tools that empower emerging leaders and managers to thrive in dynamic environments.
​
Currently, I'm pursuing a Doctorate in Strategic Leadership, with completion projected by the end of 2027. This advanced study deepens my understanding of strategic frameworks, allowing me to infuse my work with forward-thinking insights. At Tenor Publications, my mission is to provide practical, actionable resources tailored to the distinct needs of leaders—who inspire vision and drive change—and managers—who optimize processes and execute with precision. By delineating these roles, I ensure that each receives the specific techniques and tools to maximize their potential, whether it's fostering innovation or streamlining operations.
​
My inaugural series kicks off with five foundational books, compiled into the volume The Leading Edge:
-
The 8 Dials of Great Discipline: How to Make Meaningful Adjustments in an Ever-Changing World
-
Cleared to Engage: A Guide to Unrestricted Leadership
-
Mindful Mentorship: How to Meet Them Where They Are
-
The Advisor: Expanding the Mind of the Advised
-
Leadership Tools: Take What You Need and Leave What You Don't
-
​
These works serve as my platform to refine self-publishing processes, marketing strategies, and sales approaches while delivering immediate value to readers. Looking ahead, I'll expand with two additional volumes: one exploring emerging leadership and management concepts for the next decade, and another focused on integrating artificial intelligence into these practices—helping you stay ahead in an evolving world.
​
Through Tenor Publications, I'm committed to supporting growing leaders and managers with resources rooted in my military experience, academic pursuits, and a passion for practical application. Let's connect and elevate your journey—whether you're leading from the front or managing the details.
