the Commander's Edge Field Manual: Leadership Playbook World Needs Now

Most leadership books are written by people who studied leadership. This one was written by a man who led when it counted.Retired Army Major Jack Perry, Jr. flew MEDEVAC missions where the margin between life and death was measured in minutes. He commanded a 15-ship Blackhawk company. He led a $250 million heavy equipment fleet. Now an ICF PCC-certified executive coach, he turns hard-earned command lessons into a working manual for anyone responsible for other people.Here is the truth nobody teaches you in leadership school: a leader who does not take care of themselves is a liability, not an asset.Organized in seven parts and built on the military decision-making process, THE COMMANDER'S EDGE FIELD MANUAL walks you through the same sequence a commander uses under pressure - and shows you how to run it in a boardroom, on a job site, or at your own kitchen table.Inside this manual: - Lead yourself first - the mirror test no leader passes by accident - Find your purpose, and what to do when the mission changes - The 7-step MDMP, rebuilt for civilian decisions - Faith, trust, and letting go of what is not serving you - Build teams that run without you - Have the hard conversations you have been postponing - Lead the command that matters most - your familyEvery chapter closes with a Battle Drill, an Exercise, and a Coach's Reflection. You do not read this book. You work it.Written for veterans, first responders, executives, and anyone who carries the weight of other people's outcomes.
