PJA Store Featured Release
The PJ Association is proud to announce we have a limited inventory of ‘Carnivore Leadership’ available from the PJA Store. This is your opportunity to own a signed, pre-release copy of this extraordinary book by a legendary leader. Order now. Supply is limited.
Drawing from over three decades in the U.S. military, including rising to the highest-ranking enlisted position as Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (E-10), Ramón “CZ” Colón-López delivers a no-nonsense blueprint for leadership that cuts through the fluff of traditional self-help books.
At the core of the book are CZ’s 20 Silver Bullets: hard-hitting, practical principles designed to deliver immediate impact. These aren’t vague motivational quotes—they’re battle-tested tools for accountability, straight talk, resilience, and turning potential into performance, whether on the battlefield or in the boardroom.
<>“A master class in leadership from one of the best to ever wear the uniform.” <> “CZ doesn’t just teach us how to lead—he reminds us why we must.”<> “
<>“A decisive answer to the mealy-mouthed advice promoted in other leadership books.”<>
‘Carnivore Leadership’ isn’t about feel-good platitudes. It’s forged in the fire of real-world adversity: special operations missions, high-stakes decision-making, and building teams that thrive under extreme pressure. CZ contrasts “carnivores”—proactive warriors who take initiative, enforce standards, and lead with servant-hearted humility—against “herbivores” who avoid risk, make excuses, and settle for mediocrity.
In a world full of passive, reactive “herbivores”waiting for opportunities to come to them, true leaders are carnivores—decisive, action-oriented predators who hunt success with relentless focus, integrity, and grit.
Perfect for military professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, or anyone ready to step up and take charge. If you’re tired of waiting for permission to unleash your inner carnivore, this is your guide to guts, grit, and unbreakable greatness
