Former Navy SEAL Brent Gleeson transforms his battlefield experience into a business leadership framework. Drawing from his military service and years building successful companies, Gleeson presents a ten-step program for leading organizational change. His approach emphasizes communication, culture, accountability, trust, and resilience. The book covers gathering intelligence, communicating vision, managing fear, maintaining focus, and creating lasting transformation. Gleeson has tested these methods across hundreds of global organizations during his decade as a business consultant and thought leader. His weekly Forbes and Inc columns provided the foundation for this comprehensive guide. The ten steps include fueling change engines, building ownership at every level, establishing mission belief, and developing participation and acceptance. Gleeson argues that modern leaders cannot simply react to disruption but must actively guide transformation. The framework helps managers at all organizational levels navigate constant change while building high-performance teams that deliver results.
