Publisher's summary

Learn how to be a leader in your own life and career with expert advice from one of the Navy's elite TOPGUN instructors.

During a 20-year career in uniform, Guy Snodgrass became one of the most skilled fighter pilots in the US Navy, commanding combat jets over some of the most dangerous war zones in the world - and he did it all using the lessons he learned at the Navy's Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN).

The real-life inspiration for the blockbuster films Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick, the US Navy Fighter Weapons School trains the top one percent of our nation's fighter pilots. Over the course of 12 weeks, these pilots are drilled on aerial tactics, combat, and skills required to win in any organization. Ordinary people are transformed into world-class leaders. Pilots like Commander Snodgrass who remain on staff as TOPGUN instructors are held to even higher and more demanding standards.

In TOPGUN's Top 10, Commander Snodgrass distills some of the most important lessons he's learned and taught over the course of his career into a taut, engaging book for listeners of all ages and experience levels. It's the perfect gift for anyone looking to change careers, excel in the workplace, or find their way in the world after college graduation. Smart, practical, and direct, Snodgrass' account of real TOPGUN experience will inspire a new generation of leaders.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"TOPGUN turns aviators into aces. Commander Snodgrass applies lessons from the toughest of schools to leading any team to success - in war, in business, in life. A vital manual for any career, from training through your last "command." (Ali Wambold, managing director and founder of Corporate Partners & Co. and the former CEO of Lazard Alternative Investments)

"Guy's leadership lessons mirror many of my experiences as a female fighter pilot: the importance of perseverance, willingness to stay the course despite seemingly overwhelming odds, and the significance of building trusted relationships. This is a "must read" for anyone looking to expand their own horizons and achieve their fullest potential." (Amy McGrath, US Senate candidate and former U.S. Marine Corps F/A-18 combat aviator)

"Bus is one of those gifted leaders who has the rare ability to help others see and realize their potential. This book is a practical guide to helping you lead with authenticity, passion and excellence. High leverage leadership lessons packed in a thoroughly delightful read. Highly recommended." (Christopher Michel, founder of Military.com and Affinity Labs; managing director of Nautilus Ventures; and member of the board of directors at Dale Carnegie)

You're too low Cougar

Good stories from the cockpit on real-world missions. The lessons are familiar to all military members...nothing special there. Great listen overall if you want tales from the sky.

Topgun's Top 10

I'm active USAF & this is a VERY WORTH WHILE BOOK. Now, I'll just say that the Air Force has the best & most fierce pilots & fighter pilots hands down...just a little jab at the USN/USMC.
