Richard Marcinko's explosive #1 New York Times bestselling autobiography, Rogue Warrior, chronicled the wild, death-defying adventures of his thirty controversial years as a Navy commando and creator of the legendary SEAL TEAM SIX. Three blockbuster Rogue Warrior novels transformed classified information he could never reveal in nonfiction into blistering tales of international warfare and counterterrorism. Now, writing in the tradition of A Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi, Japan's greatest samurai, Marcinko blasts other self-help guides out of the water. In LEADERSHIP SECRETS OF THE ROGUE WARRIOR, he shows how anyone can apply the skills he has honed throughout his remarkable career to the challenges of business and everyday life.In the raucous, no-holds-barred style for which he is famed, Marcinko uses examples from his own missions plus case studies of Fortune 500 companies and smaller businesses to clarify the leadership principles derived from his Ten Commandments of Special Warfare, including: I shall punish thy bodies because the more thou sweatest in training, the less thou bleedest in combat.American businesses are rediscovering that excellence and perfection are useful conceptual tools. The more you train, the more you will be prepared for Murphy's inevitable visits. Remember that your troops (employees) are your greatest asset; see to it that they are prepared for any contingency. Thou shalt never assume. Realize that no two people see the same situation the same way. Remember that all strategies, yours and your competitors', contain hidden or "working" assumptions -- identify and examine them. Respect other team members' views, for they may see hidden truths that you have missed. Verily, thou art not paid for thy methods, but for thy results, by which meaneth thou shalt kill thine enemy by any means available before he killeth you. Take risks to conquer new markets, create new products, or increase profits -- but do nothing that will compromise your character. Judgment and discretion are the hallmarks of a professional. Know yourself, and act accordingly. The success of a strategy is measured by results, but the character of an organization is measured by how it achieves them. With rightful scorn for those who attempt to lead from "on high," Marcinko reveals the true nature of dynamic, gutsy, front-line leadership. As provocative, bold, and entertaining as the man himself, LEADERSHIP SECRETS OF THE ROGUE WARRIOR presents the simple -- but profound -- principles wrested from hard-earned experience that have made him an extraordinary success, both in and out of the military.

From the Publisher

Richard Marcinko's explosive #1 New York Times bestselling autobiography, Rogue Warrior, chronicled the wild, death-defying adventures of his thirty controversial years as a Navy commando and creator of the legendary SEAL TEAM SIX. Three blockbuster Rogue Warrior novels transformed classified information he could never reveal in nonfiction into blistering tales of international warfare and counterterrorism. Now, writing in the tradition of A Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi, Japan's greatest samurai, Marcinko blasts other self-help guides out of the water. In LEADERSHIP SECRETS OF THE ROGUE WARRIOR, he shows how anyone can apply the skills he has honed throughout his remarkable career to the challenges of business and everyday life.

In the raucous, no-holds-barred style for which he is famed, Marcinko uses examples from his own missions plus case studies of Fortune 500 companies and smaller businesses to clarify the leadership principles derived from his Ten Commandments of Special Warfare, including:

I shall punish thy bodies because the more thou sweatest in training, the less thou bleedest in combat.

American businesses are rediscovering that excellence and perfection are useful conceptual tools. The more you train, the more you will be prepared for Murphy's inevitable visits. Remember that your troops (employees) are your greatest asset; see to it that they are prepared for any contingency.

Thou shalt never assume.

Realize that no two people see the same situation the same way. Remember that all strategies, yours and your competitors', contain hidden or "working" assumptions -- identify and examine them. Respect other team members' views, for they may see hidden truths that you have missed.

Verily, thou art not paid for thy methods, but for thy results, by which meaneth thou shalt kill thine enemy by any means available before he killeth you.

Take risks to conquer new markets, create new products, or increase profits -- but do nothing that will compromise your character. Judgment and discretion are the hallmarks of a professional. Know yourself, and act accordingly. The success of a strategy is measured by results, but the character of an organization is measured by how it achieves them.

If you didn’t know, this guy is the REAL DEAL! The leadership secrets that The Sharkman of the Delta is imparting, should be soaked up like gravy with biscuits. Surprisingly, some are very simple tenants to digest. Unfortunately, most leaders don’t have to worry about the health & welfare of armed individuals behind them, in the middle of nowhere. Imagine how differently your supervisors, managers, or bosses would treat & interact with you, if your work place was located in the middle of a Veitnam rice patty or the African Congo jungle at night, (with you & your co workers armed to the teeth for bear) & oh yeah, no one officially acknowledges that you are even there! I imagine that environment would be the perfect catalyst for a dynamic modifier to leadership qualities. The secrets passed on can be applied to any business model, from fast food supervisor too Fortune 500 company CEO. The principals set forth in the book are easy to digest; the author deliveres the information in KISS format. You could be starting your own lemonade stand, landscaping business, or coaching a NFL team. Demo Dick leadership secrets helps individuals to do one thing, WIN!

The US Navy SEALs are world famous for their military power and expertise. Several movies and books have shown this to be the case. What is less well known is that the mindset of the Special Forces is just as important as their stamina, brute strength, and combat skills. In this book Marcinko applies lessons from the Navy to the free enterprise system and life in general. Among his rules are pushing himself as hard as he pushes men, or employees. Leading by example is also important. These are well-known concepts but few people have the decades of military and government experience that gives another level of insight. People in the US and allied nations who seek leadership would do read books from experienced leaders and improve mental endurance.

This book is no longer in print so you'll have to get a used one if you're interested. Out of several leadership books I've read, this one offers the most no-nonsense approach to decisive decision making and leading from the front. The world is a different place now than it was 20 years ago, or so we would like to believe. Despite all our technological advances, political nonsense and psychobabble touchy feely stuff, people are still largely the way they were thousands of years ago. They want clear lines of authority, decisive and competent decisions and people who will support them when they're right, no matter what. Not people that will throw them under the bus to advance some personal agenda. This book describes basic, ground level leadership and while I've tempered it a bit to reflect my modern, non-military environment it still accomplishes in 155 pages what other books can't do in twice that. Why? Because Marcinko follows his own rules and Keeps It Simple.

Richard brings out good points in this book about what it takes to be a REAL LEADER not only in life, but in business. Unfortunately I think our system in all aspects of how we run not only our country but also how we run businesses and our organizations has been to badly corrupted by what he points out in this book that can be and will be the downfall of any team. People now want like thinkers, folks who just go along with the person in charge. They do not want the truth the "Murphy's Law" aspect pointed out to them. They want to live the "Ostrich"way" . If they do not see it or hear it, it will not jump up and bite them in the ass. Richard points out very clearly in this book where that is going to lead them and all who follow them.

Marcinko walked the walk and led men...plainly stated, he was a LEADER and his commandments make one assess where they are in their leadership life continuum. Having served and still, I embrace leadership and it is a war for the survival of the fittest. Bravo Zulu!

I received the book tonight and finished it before I realized I had been through the last chapter. The style is direct and quite pleasant if your personality fits the guy. I am a simple minded, down to earth person and I liked the non-sense talk during the book. The author defines a simple, yet pretty smart framework, that makes the decision process quite straight forward. I don't know if corporate America really looks like the authors depicts it, but it seems definitely accurate in most respect. All in all I liked the book and I think I will keep most of the advices in the back of my head for a little while.

Richard Marcinko is one impressive mentor. he knows what he is talking about and is an amazing inspiration. after reading this i recommended it to my son for him to find further direction

It helped a lot with my adaption from military to civilian life.

If you were to only have one book in your Man Cave, this should be the only one.
I make a point of reading excerpts from Marchinko's bible throughout the year to stay on point and to remain focused.
It would be an honor to shake this man's hand to thank him personally for his honorable service to this Great Nation of ours.
It's men like Richard Marcinko we should all try to emulate.
A real Hero with sound advice for any man looking to be in charge on the world he lives in.

Reviewed in Canada on December 13, 2013
They are 'secrets' because m o s t people never have to perform their tasks under the circumstances Mr.Marcinko describe. Just do your job, and forget the politics. No water coolers here.

I find his perspective enlightening, and a vote towards MY perspective on how to manage yourself in the work place. If it wins you support from others, then you know who to 'work with'... if it upsets others, then you will know when to keep your back to the wall.
