Can you lead when the world shifts beneath your feet?
Spine to Wade: Leading Generations to Thrive is not just a book. It’s a battlefield-forged blueprint for those ready to lead through crisis, conflict, and constant change. From firefights in Kashmir to corporate standoffs under fluorescent lights, Vineet combines gallantry, resilience, and hard-won business leadership insights into a relentless call to action.
Frustrated by disjointed teams, blurred accountability, and performative leadership? Discover how to build high-performing groups rooted in the lasting values of Naam (honour), Namak (loyalty), and Nishaan (legacy). Leading Gen Z and Alpha, and sensing the ground shifting? Learn how to engage without control, align without command, and lead without theatrics.
This isn’t a book of polished theories or borrowed models. It’s a raw, tested field manual where hesitation meant loss and decisive action-built trust. From evacuating 87 team members as borders shut down and movement halted to midnight decisions that saved projects on the brink with quiet resolve, Vineet reveals the moments that demanded more than strategy; they demanded spine.
New leaders will find their footing. Seasoned leaders will rediscover the clarity they once had. Whether you lead a platoon or a project team, or a Company, this book will challenge you to lead not just in the moment but over time.
If you were to vanish today, would your legacy last? Can your team stand when the ground no longer holds?
The train roars. Will you chase its shadow, or take the wheel?

Vineet Dev
Colonel Vineet Dev, SM (Retd), is a decorated Army officer and corporate leader who has spent his life shaping cultures, building teams, and guiding leaders through complexity. His journey from the Siachen glacier to global boardrooms reflects an evolution of leadership that values people as much as performance and conviction as much as strategy.
He believes that true leadership matures with each generation, thrives in ambiguity, and creates spaces where diverse minds feel included and empowered. For him, legacy is not about monuments or memory, but about the systems, values, and people who continue to thrive long after the leader has stepped aside.
Vineet’s journey reflects his conviction that a true legacy is built through credibility, loyalty, and succession. A mentor at heart, he continues to inspire leaders across generations to build cultures of trust, touch lives with empathy, and create institutions that endure.
