If you are looking for a book on leadership this book will do more than you could imagine. If you could get a sneak peak into an elite group to see how they work together what would you pay? Better yet what would you learn? If you read this book you will find out. The book is written so it is easy to understand and follow. The book uses stories as ways to convey why something should be done as a leader. The biggest message that I got was doing something and moving is better than doing nothing and sitting, make a decision and go from there. You will not be dissapointed.

After I read this book I bought the cds and put them on my ipod. I listen to this book at least once a month. The voice of the reader is compelling. I look forward to traffic.

I am a profession College Coach. I have read many books on so called "Leaders" in the sports World. Wooden, Knight, Bryant, Hayes, Lombardi, Coach K, Dean Smith, Patino could all learn something from this book. This book gets to the point and proves the correct and effective technique. I have read maybe 30-40 books on leadership and coaching and I will say that this book is the best book I have ever read. After reading this book I gave a copy of it to all of the Coaches in my Athletic Department, and my Assistant Coaches. I can tell you not one person has not thanked me for getting them this book.

If you are a professional business man or woman, a coach, a community leader, teacher, you need this book!

I am a career firefighter and have seen far too many examples of weak leadership. I figured the seals were a rather successful organization to look into. Although our jobs are different, there are many parallels. This is a great book for anyone who works in a team enviroment and wants to make their organization more successful.

The book is ok. The information is straight forward and what you would expect - basic leadership skills. The format is interesting because the author peppers in antecdotes about his Navy Seals experiences. The book is good for someone interested in understanding very basic 'blocking and tackling' leadership skills. More advanced leaders probably won't find this anything but a refresh of things they already know.

I was intrigued by the title and the subject matter. As a military buff, I was very interested in learning how Seal leaders motivate and manage their teams through very difficult situation. I found the book to have way too many leadership "points" and ended up skipping through the last half of the book. However, it will look good on my bookshelf at my office.

Order was fulfilled in a timely fashion and product was as described and in great condition. Book contains practical solutions to complex problems.

Got this book as a gift since I just happened to get out of the military and now work for a software company. This book goes chapter by chapter explaining how leadership is perceived and how it should be. The author explains different leadership qualities as well as leadership styles.

This book gives a view into the Seal mentality of leadership. In a world where everyone must stand on their own they must also be responsible to others also. An interesting read.

You really don't need to be in a position of leadership to benefit from this book. But if you manage people in a results orientated enterprise I think you'll find the insights in the book to be invaluable. The book is very straight forward and offers approaches to management that are designed to achieve goals sooner rather than later.

I'd also recommend the book to parents. If you have raised kids you'll understand why.

This book was an instant help. Lots of strategies that I could put into use immediately. I would recommend this book to anyone who ever plans on leading anything. This stuff will help everyone from Scout Master to CEO. If you lead people they would love for you to read this book and learn. I gave it to my boss after I read it.
