Outstanding, an actual ‘Good Times’ read
As a former military officer I thought the modern generation of leadership training would have moved on from what I was taught over two decades ago, it hasn’t, just the basics refined and enhanced (with better toys in support).
In my current role as a C suite executive this book served as a reminder of how these military principles should be applied in the coroporate world.
On a personal note, the recollection of training and combat actions bought back memiories. Often I found myself smiling and nodding in agreement.
Great job lads!

25mins of war stories for one line of leadership knowledge. Better books out there. Try David Goggins
