Great teaching tool

Certainly will continue to follow this author. I loved the book. As a police officer, it is not often that you can find this type of relatable material.

Paul Howe is a true leader and motivator.

If you want to perform better, push yourself harder, or lead people from the front this is the book for you. Paul Howe spent most of his life in our nations top special forces unit where selection was never ending. The amount of discipline, dedication, and determination these individuals have is astonishing. In this book Paul Howe very simplistically and methodically outlines the leadership process he gained from the military and then later perfected at his training school in Texas. Though it is geared for LE or military crowds, the lessons inside can be applied to every profession and for any leadership role. Simply put you will not regret buying this book.

leadership

loved it kept me engaged in the book was very informative hit the primary points exactly as neefed

Great Book

Currently a TL and this was very informative. It will benefit my team and myself as a person.

Meh

If you are not military or law enforcement - particularly a special operator or SWAT - save yourself the time. This doesn’t apply to you… despite some clumsy attempts to tie very basic operator principles into business.

If you are LE or military, it’s worth a listen for free with your premium membership, but I’d never buy this. Paul Howe seems to be the real deal. So, I can forgive the ego as he has more than earned the right to brag. But this could have been a 6 hour book on being a combat leader, SWAT member, or field training officer if you trimmed out the war stories and digressions where the author complains about how soft pretty much everyone (but especially young people) are.
