Today’s book: Call Sign Chaos by General Jim Mattis and Bing West—battle-tested leadership lessons from a Marine general who led with discipline, strategy, and unwavering integrity.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Leadership is a responsibility, not a rank. It’s about serving your team, making tough calls, and always leading by example.
- Be a lifelong learner. Jim carried thousands of books on deployment—leaders must continuously study history, strategy, and human nature.
- Decentralized command wins. Trust your people, empower decision-making at every level, and avoid micromanagement.
- Speed matters—adapt and execute. In both war and business, hesitation can cost you. Stay agile and decisive.
- Integrity is non-negotiable. Your team follows your actions, not just your words—do what’s right, even when no one is watching.
Great leaders lead from the front, prepare relentlessly, and never stop learning. What’s one way you’ll level up your leadership today?
