Reviews"An entertaining and straightforward discussion of what it takes to lead, from the consummate military leader of our age. Admiral Bill McRaven's THE WISDOM OF THE BULLFROG is a thoughtful, yet easily digestible, guide to making each of us into better leaders - and people."-- Stanley McChrystal, former US Army genreal, "You might be able to find a book with more insights and superb advice about leadership than Bill McRaven's THE WISDOM OF THE BULLFROG, but I doubt it. Drawing on a lifetime of successful leadership at all levels of the military and subsequently in other institutions, McRaven's succinct, witty and fast-paced book offers current and aspiring leaders a wealth of lessons learned and common sense approaches to navigating the many challenges of leading people and organizations. At a time of rapid change in every workplace, regardless of size or purpose, this is a book readers will dog-ear and underline. Once I started, I could not put it down."-- Robert Gates, former United States Secretary of Defense, "Admiral McRaven gives inspiring context to popular military maxims that turn mere words into wisdom and simple sayings into powerful leadership guidance. This book is an essential reference for anyone in a leadership position."-- Jocko Willink, retired United States Navy officer and author of FINAL SPIN

The Wisdom of the Bulldog
As USN veteran (1961-1964) I have been a big time admirer of Admiral McRaven for decades. During my active duty years our UDT teams were the early "Frogmen" & during Admiral McRaven years they became the ultimate USN Special Forces Seals. Admiral McRaven is a Seal & The Bullfrog. I'm a friend of Admiral Wallace Guthrie as we both have a Scottish heritage. All The Best, CharlieBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
