Lead Like A Marine

Run Towards a Challenge, Assemble Your Fireteam, and Win Your Next Battle

John Warren, John Thompson

Two Marine combat veterans turned successful entrepreneurs show how they applied Marine Corps training and values to build thriving businesses, and how readers can apply the same leadership strategies at any organisation.

In 2006, Platoon Commander John Warren and Company Gunnery Sergeant John “Top” Thompson led Marines into combat against al-Qaeda in the world’s most dangerous city: Ramadi, Iraq. But when they returned home, they found that corporate America didn’t appreciate how their skills and values could translate to the business world. So they founded their own real estate lending company, growing it from scratch into a national powerhouse over the course of a decade. In Lead Like a Marine, Warren and Thompson blend smart, actionable advice with gripping stories of combat as well as tales of entrepreneurial challenges to offer a counterintuitive guide to leading, innovating, and excelling in any organisation.
