Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin (Jocko also has an outstanding interview on The Shawn Ryan Show).
As I read this book, I kept thinking I need to send Ed, RG, and the entire EVP “Leadership Commitee” a copy. They need its lessons in a bad way.
Ya, his Shawn Ryan interview is what prompted me to pick it up. Read a few Willink books, good stuff. Leadership Strategies was a good one as well.

Quite short.
Definitely not written by a ghostwriter. Former Secretary of War, 7th Vice President, US Senator, Secretary of State, but had some modern day naughty opinions (naughty for good reasons).
Still lionized by the US Senate, however. By both parties. Power talks.
Thanks for the point out, listening to it now.
