Publisher's Synopsis
You'll Hate This Book (If You're Already a Leader)
This is not a typical business book. Most follow an unwritten rule-never antagonize the reader. This one breaks that rule in spades. You've heard how brutal the training and selection process is for special forces units like the SAS or Navy SEALs? Most don't make it. This is a similar process, but for leaders. It's intellectually tough. Readers-leaders and aspiring leaders alike-will face scenarios that challenge their worldview. Every part of their decision-making will be tested. Every habit will be exposed.
The process is raw and unforgiving. It strips away the layers and shows you what's underneath. It will unearth your blind spots, your bad habits, and the excuses you've leaned on. Whether you're leading a company or just starting out, it speaks to you directly. And it doesn't hold back-so be ready to be called out. Some will move through it easily-the top 10%. They've built confidence without arrogance. They stay open to new ideas. They don't get defensive when challenged and they handle pressure with calm precision. On the other end, there are those who believe they already know it all. They become defensive the moment things get tough. They reject anything that doesn't fit their narrow view. They'll take themselves out of the running early. It's the middle 80% who will get the most from this book. They may still cling to old beliefs about themselves and how they lead. They may resist change and prefer comfort over challenge. But deep down, they know they should be doing more. They're not closed off-they're just stuck. If they stay the course, they'll walk away with a new perspective on leadership-and a set of tools they can use right away. Tools for making better decisions. For seeing clearly under pressure. For leading with precision and purpose.They'll step out of the middle and into the top tier. They'll become true, world-class leaders-built for the moments that demand the most.
