Today’s book: Sea Stories by Admiral William H. McRaven—a gripping and deeply human memoir filled with leadership lessons, battlefield truths, and quiet moments of honor from a lifetime of Navy service.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Leadership is earned in quiet moments. Trust, presence, and humility—not rank—make a great leader.
- Courage is contagious. Whether in combat or crisis, one act of bravery inspires others to rise.
- Preparation saves lives. Train like your life—and others’—depends on it. Because it does.
- Small decisions matter. A single choice—to step up, speak up, or stay the course—can change everything.
- Never forget your people. The mission matters, but people come first—always.
