Product Information

It was interesting to see the kind of training these guys were put through for selection to the Paras and then the Royal Marines. Also had no time for his "self-help lessons at the end of each chapter" - unless it's advice on how to be a knob.

His persona is much "nicer" on TV) In this book, he refers to himself as god-like, on occasion, and goes into detail about how he looks for weaknesses in people and uses them to get what he wants out of them. Initially flicking through the book I wondered what the ending of each chapter entitled Leadership Lessons could really do for me in my normal life with my normal job but actually each chapter had so many examples of ways to change your mindset in your own life and use things like anger and upset to energise you in a positive way.

The problem with leadership books based on experiences while kicking in Afghan doors, or smashing up squaddies and getting arrested, or re-enacting the mutiny on the bounty is that they're often quite specific to that experience.

Ich glaube einer seiner nicht explizit genannten Stärken ist es, Menschen zu lesen, sie auftragsorientiert gezielt einzusetzen und sich nebenbei auch selbst noch gut in Szene zu setzen.

It is so easy to spiral out of control, down into the depths; so hard to stop that process, and turn it around. Lets also remember that the military training was intended to turn you into an aggressive alpha male and killing machine and you can't just switch off your training so easily when you leave the military.
