leaders: Myth and Reality by General Stanley McChrystal (U.S. Army, Retired), Jeff Eggers and Jason mangone

This is a good book. It features the biographies of 13 leaders that run the gamut of leadership qualities. It’s a good book.

But Chapters 9 and 10 are effin’ incredible. In those chapters, the authors wrap up their theory on leadership, and it’s revolutionary stuff. Really. I’ve listened to the audiobook of those two chapters at least twenty times.

I recommend the whole book, but I think all leaders should listen/read Chapters 9 and 10. Takes you about an hour. Who doesn’t have an hour?
