A must read for leadership principles

I've always had a like warm feeling about Kyle Lamb. I respected him for his accolades but really didn't know much else about him. He definitely leads from the shadows and maintains a rather private life. After listening to this book, I'm a big fan. This book is an easy read (or listen as it were) broken down into several small chapters. Each chapter is packed with valuable insight for leadership and this is probably a book is recommend re-reading from time to time. My only quibble is that CSM Lamb at times shows opinions that are slightly unfounded or outside of his area of expertise or things he's gathered superficially. One example is his insistence that 'tenure' has ruined public education. While I'm not a fan of tenure there are a lot of other existing issues that have been responsible for problems in public Ed. I was also slightly annoyed with his use of "brief back" repeatedly for a concept that we use in the military called "back briefing". Minor quibbles aside, this man knows leadership and has something to offer anyone interested in leading.

Highly respected special operations leader

Nail on the head.

This book hit on so many topics that my Sergeant and I talk about on a regular basis. So many of the topics discussed in this book, are ones that need to be implemented by the majority, but unfortunately are only understood buy a small percentage. Fantastic book, have already shared this with others!

Fantastic

One of the best practical guides to leadership out there. Clearly written by a great leader himself. Cannot reccomend enough.

Awesome book

This book was a no non-sense, straight forward book written by an experienced operator.

Excellent!

Very useful advice based on lessons learned in life and death situations. Kyle's humility shines through and is part of what makes this book exceptionally credible.

great book!

As usual Kyle doesn't disappoint. Great material and how to use the points. Definitely a must read if interested in leadership.

Absolutely Worthy Leadership Book

Whether you’re military or civilian, this book is worth your time! If you care and see yourself as striving to learn to become a great leader, listen to this.

I’ll throw this one right there next to Leadership Strategy & Tactics by Jocko Willink as absolutely necessary reading. Read, share it, act it, and watch everything change for good.
