Leadership and decision-making philosophy straight from the battlefield.

Jim Mattis has a wealth of experience spanning multiple wars. What’s unique about this book is that the reader learns lessons from every echelon of leadership—from a new recruit to a 4-star general.

I enjoyed listening to Mattis’ first-hand experiences, both his successes and failures. He also has distilled his lessons into an actionable format.

It’s a highly insightful book that’s worth your time.

From Hasard's list on becoming great at decision-making.
