Hard Truths: Think and Lead Like a Green Beret

By Mike Waltz

"Congressman and retired Green Beret Mike Waltz shares how the mindset he honed in military service can help anyone-in politics, in business or in life-conquer everyday challenges. Up in the mountains of Afghanistan, one of Waltz's snipers watched through his scope as a young boy acted as a spotter for the Taliban mortars attacking a Green Beret position. The sniper requested permission to fire. Waltz refused, insisting on restraint. The child was spared, and the position was held. Later that same day, Waltz visited a nearby Afghan village and discovered the Taliban had hanged a boy in front of his family-because the child wasn't willing to fight for them. Restraint is a trait common to Green Berets, but rare on the battlefield-and even rarer in today's national political discourse. Today, Mike Waltz is a retired Colonel and a U. S. Representative from Florida, the first Green Beret ever to be elected to Congress. After 27 years in the Army, nearly all of them in the elite Special Forces where he fought America's enemies all around the world, he has developed a perspective distinct from most-probably all-of his colleagues in politics today"--.

The 5% Rule of Leadership: Using Lean Decision-Making to Drive Trust, Ownership, and Team Productivity

By Anil K Singhal

"In The 5% Rule of Leadership: Using Lean Decision-Making to Drive Superior Outcomes, Anil Singhal, co-founder of NetScout Systems, reveals his contrarian approach to creating a powerhouse organization that will thrive in any climate and stand the test of time. He asserts that, for a business to be able to withstand major environmental shifts and disruptions and last for decades, the leader only needs to be involved in the first 5% of any given project--whether building a new product, creating a major go-to-market initiative, acquiring a company or starting a new company. Adapting the Pareto Principle, which states that roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes, Anil asserts that decisions during the first 5% of any project or initiative results in 95% of the consequences. He suggests this principle involves creating a value system of authenticity, inclusivity, ownership, equity, and trust among all stakeholders to create a workforce of good corporate citizens in which everyone shares in the risks and rewards"--.
