Tip of the Spear

It's Not What You Think

De: Rodney Magallan

Narrado por: Rodney Magallan

The elite aren't "different." If you have the work ethic, you can do the same great things. Stop looking at these doctors, lawyers, CEOs, Navy SEALs, etc., as the only markers of success. We define our own success.

In Tip of the Spear, author and former Navy SEAL and CIA operative Rodney Magallan paints a vivid and meaningful analogy using this deadly weapon. According to Rodney, the tip of the spear comprises the elite members of a group. It's the SEALs; the company executives; the star athletes, famous artists, and other industry leaders. Only a select few make it to the tip of the spear, but as described in this memoir slash leadership guide, anyone is capable of becoming the best of the best. It all comes down to hard work, sacrifice, and choice—making the decision to work your way to the tip and then stay there.

Throughout this riveting and inspirational book, you'll learn what it takes to reach elite status—and you might be surprised by the answer. Furthermore, you'll be empowered to examine your own "normal" life and recognize the value you add, regardless of the position you hold. Encompassing Rodney's core philosophies that have gotten him to where he is today, Tip of the Spear addresses everything from what holds people back from reaching their fullest potential to the importance of each part—the shaft, the collar, the spearhead, even the hand wielding the weapon—to the utility and effectiveness of the spear.

Ultimately, listeners should set aside the book recognizing that "the tip of the spear" isn't just a place or position—it's a mindset that anyone can and should adopt to make the most significant difference they can.
