This chapter explores the key qualities that define successful leaders, including integrity, excellence, a mission-focused mindset, and a servant heart. It also highlights the concept of 'eating last' and recounts the inspiring story of Mike Ulette, a Marine who embodied exceptional leadership.
In 2006, John Warren and John Thompson led Marines into combat in the world’s most dangerous city: Ramadi, Iraq. In "Lead Like a Marine," Warren and Thompson lay out the simple, universal rules that helped them succeed, from valuing grit and potential over pedigree, to condensing large groups into resilient “fireteams,” to cross-training team members so that anyone can step up to the plate in a crisis.
