Rating:  Summary: Leadership Secrets Of The Rogue Warrior Review: This book has lead me to take an agressive approach toward the path my life is to take. Commander Marcinko makes me wish I could have served under him in the "Teams" and I want to work for him now. It also outlines the way leaders should conduct themselves "Honestly". No symantics, no prima donna garbage. " This is our job guys lets do it!"ÿ
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Book for Your Collection Review: This book is one of Marcinko's best. Rather than being a collection of his war stories this book is a collection of Marcinko's thoughts and principles that he has applied to his military career.
This book is very practical and applicable to those outside the military. Each chapter is a specific principle the author feels is vital to leadership. He uses 2 real world examples to illustrate how each principle has been applied in the real world, 1 military and 1 in a formal business atmosphere.
This book isn't very long, as only 130 pages or so, but it's filled with a lot of little tidbits of information. If you have read Marcinko's other books then little of this book will be new information to you. I really enjoyed seeing specific examples of how these theories play out in the world rather than somebody saying "do this because you'll get this".
Rating:  Summary: No nonsense is colorful and interesting Review: This is the first "rogue warrior" book that I have read and I was instantly hooked. The principles that the author puts forward are simple and effective, driving home the overall messages very well. This book has helped me to think differently about what I do, where I work, and how I allow people to impact my day-to-day activities. In short, the book has pointed out that YOU are the only one who is in control of your career...that through proper training and preparation, you can be ready for anything...and that true leaders disregard the political ramifications and take decisive and definative stances - in spite of the trials that they will face.The author is rough and gruff in terms of the language he uses -- so if you are easily offended, you should probably stay away. If you can handle the strong wording, then this book may be a good choice for you to "lead the charge" and take back your career.
