Good Book

I enjoyed this book very much. A book every leader, or every person who aspires to lead, should read. I believe military leaders really bring a lot to the table when it comes the the topic of leadership.

A Must Read!

Incredibly well thought out and systematic playbook for success! Should be required reading for everyone.

Great book.

This is a great book. Hopefully people read or listen and actually take action. Not just read for the sake of reading. Use these methods and move onto a better life.

The Program

Love the book. I wish that it would go into greater detail on some things. But overall a great read or listen.

Can’t believe the quality for being free, Excellent!

Nothing terribly original, but the last couple hours are a great summary of a lot of content. Incredibly time effective content! I would give it 3-4 stars if I used a credit for it, but being free it’s an awesome value!

Useful ideas in bite-size pieces

The concept of this book is similar to other books in the same genre. Despite my having completed a dozen other books like this, I was still able to glean original and useful information from it. The stories broke things up and allow the reader to gain insight at a more digestible rate. I didn’t gain a lot from the themselves (as much as a straightforward content the authors explained) though they probably provide important examples for many people. I would recommend it to the same audience that it is marketed to: teams, coaches, employers, etc..

Advanced Leadership

With a leadership background, I found a lot of familiar information. I did however find some enlightening gems. It had some repetitive moments, however, within the progression it became evident that it was on purpose. Nothing can be repeated enough that is not sufficiently learned. Reinforcement. You won't be disappointed and definitely worth your time. You will never stop learning and you can always be better.

Loved this book.

This book was an easy recipe of what to do and how to do it. It being lead and follow. I especially liked how they described the definition of Kind vs. Nice.

Truly great Program!!

If you want to listen to a real leader, just buy this audiobook and you’ll learn how to lead yourself!

meh

mix between "hey look at me I'm a cool guy" book and a commerical. pretty much, this is how you make a cake, but first, i shot bin laden.
