Leadership is a universal requirement for success, no matter the environment. This undeniable truth is something Dave Berke learned first-hand as a Marine Corps officer, fighter pilot, TOPGUN instructor, ground combat leader and now chief development officer at Echelon Front, the training company founded by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. By adopting the right leadership mindsets and behaviours, we gain the capacity to solve problems, support the people around us and correct our mistakes. How do we develop these necessary skills? By embracing the principles imparted to Berke from each humbling moment in the cockpit: Everyone Is a Leader - Leadership isn't about rank, title, position or function. The more people see themselves as leaders, the more they want to contribute to the team's success. Every Problem We Face Is a Leadership Problem - Whatever the challenge, good leaders will take action. How we lead becomes the most critical factor affecting the outcome. Leadership Applies in Every Situation - The same behaviours should guide us as parents, spouses, family members and friends of all kinds. Leadership Is a Skill - Good leaders aren't simply born. Leadership can be learned, which means all of us can get better at it if we choose. Through compelling stories from TOPGUN training and combat to the boardroom and at home, Berke gives readers the necessary tools to succeed.
