Description
From one of the great naval leaders of our time a master class in decisionmaking under pressure through the stories of nine famous acts of leadership in battle drawn from the history of the United States Navy with outcomes both glorious and notorious
At the heart of Admiral James Stavridiss training as a naval officer was the preparation to lead sailors in combat to face the decisive moment in battle whenever it might arise In To Risk it All he offers up nine of the most useful and enthralling stories from the US Navys nearly 250year history and draws from them a set of insights that we can all put to use when confronted with fateful choices
Conflict Crisis Risk These words have a distinct meaning in a military context that we hope will never apply identically in our own lives But at the same time as Admiral Stavridis shows with great clarity many lessons are universal
To Risk it All is filled with thrilling and heroic exploits but it is anything but a shallow exercise in myth burnishing Every leader in this book has real flaws as all humans do and the stories of failure or at least the decisions that have been defined as such are as crucial as the stories of success In the end when this master class is concluded we will be better armed for hard decisions both expected and not
