Who's Got Your Six?: The Senior Advisor Behind Every Leader

Leaders don't fail from lack of tactics. They fail from lack of honest mirrors. You've consumed enough tactics to build a small empire. Frameworks, funnels, systems, strategies-all useful, all incomplete. Because none of them matter if the person implementing them is driven by fear, ego, avoidance, or an identity built on sand. You don't need another framework. You need someone who's got your six. In the military, the Senior Enlisted Advisor is the one person who sees everything, hears everything, and carries the moral responsibility of telling the commander what they don't want to hear but desperately need to know. They protect. They sharpen. They steady. Your business needs that same person. Who's Got Your Six? is not a book of motivation. It's a mirror. A field manual for founders, executives, and leaders who refuse to collapse before their companies do. Inside these pages, you'll discover: - Why leaders collapse before companies do-and how to stop the spiral - The difference between coaches, consultants, mentors, and senior advisors - How to build a leadership cabinet that protects your blind spots - The 12 C-suite roles and how to integrate them without chaos - What every leader needs but few ever find-and how to earn it >Truth hurts. Truth heals. Truth wins. Who's got YOUR six? Dr. Steven Crane is not a theorist. He is a practitioner forged in adversity, discipline, and service. A United States Marine Corps veteran, formerly homeless, and now a serial entrepreneur, author, speaker, and senior advisor, Dr. Crane's life is a blueprint of transformation. He holds multiple doctorates and advanced degrees in leadership, finance, law, coaching, organizational change, business, and project management, along with more than 150 certifications spanning behavioral science, psychology, human resources, technology, organizational development, and related disciplines. But his real education came from the battlefield, the streets, and the broken systems he survived. Dr. Crane built a reputation as the 'leader behind the leader'-the advisor executives call when they need clarity, truth, discipline, and a sharpened edge. Clients describe him as a second brain, a moral compass, and the advisor who tells them what no one else has the courage to say. His mission is simple: Forge leaders strong enough to carry the weight of the missions they were born to build.
