This book hit on so many topics that my Sergeant and I talk about on a regular basis. So many of the topics discussed in this book, are ones that need to be implemented by the majority, but unfortunately are only understood buy a small percentage. Fantastic book, have already shared this with others!

Nail on the head.

I've always had a like warm feeling about Kyle Lamb. I respected him for his accolades but really didn't know much else about him. He definitely leads from the shadows and maintains a rather private life. After listening to this book, I'm a big fan. This book is an easy read (or listen as it were) broken down into several small chapters. Each chapter is packed with valuable insight for leadership and this is probably a book is recommend re-reading from time to time. My only quibble is that CSM Lamb at times shows opinions that are slightly unfounded or outside of his area of expertise or things he's gathered superficially. One example is his insistence that 'tenure' has ruined public education. While I'm not a fan of tenure there are a lot of other existing issues that have been responsible for problems in public Ed. I was also slightly annoyed with his use of "brief back" repeatedly for a concept that we use in the military called "back briefing". Minor quibbles aside, this man knows leadership and has something to offer anyone interested in leading.

A must read for leadership principles

Kyle has been there and done that. He’s seen the good and the bad. He’s learned through his own leadership journey, with a little bit of trial and error and given some spectacular insight in what it means to be a leader. Well done!

Great insight

Very useful advice based on lessons learned in life and death situations. Kyle's humility shines through and is part of what makes this book exceptionally credible.

Excellent!
