I don’t think the book says anything new relative to other leadership and business books, so I’d only recommend it to someone looking for some cool war stories.It was also a reminder of how fucked up the Iraq war was and how much of a waste of life, money, energy, time, etc. The book was short and accessible, which I liked, but it still dragged on a bit, and I found it kinda repetitive and got bored around 60-70% of the way in. I didn’t learn too much, but it was a nice reminder to take ownership of stuff, remove ego, and be humble and grateful. It was humbling and grounding to know how tough shit can get! The principles and lessons themselves were pretty basic and all grounded in simple ego reduction and effective thinking modalities. They were true and captured the zeitgeist of war very well. I really liked the detailed and insightful war stories. It then draws the key principles out of these topics and how to implement them in a leadership or business environment. The chapters begin with specific war stories, explaining these topics in the context of the battlefield and their vital importance. A very military approach to life – not too much finesse or nuance – and quite repetitive… nothing newĮach chapter is focused on a specific topic, like Cover and Move, Decentralized Command, or Leading Up the Chain.A straightforward, practical, and accessible business, management, and leadership book.A collection of life lessons and business principles extracted from war stories.Prob light and fun, with a bunch of gruel/war/savagery involved. It’s pretty basic, and I’m expecting something similar here.
