The learnings are certain to help organizations as they strive to achieve competitive advantage. The book is filled with interesting case studies and meaningful quotations that help the reader grasp the practical value of applying Ranger knoledge to strategic planning and problem solving. This is a must book for all who are iterested in help with the challenge of keeping their organization vital. David Tanner, Founding Director, Dupont Center for Creativity & Innovation.

Summary: Why Ranger leadership work sin Business
Review: Nice surprise. Makes me wonder if I'd rather have an MBA or a Ranger on my business team. This book illustrates how for over 200 years, Army Rangers have led and won the ultimate impossible and unfair competitions - America's military battles - And how that can work for business. Rangers operate with inviolate, unchanging core operating principles spelled out in the Ranger Creed and executed with unrivaled training and leadership. MBA's are not trained to, and business does not have, a set of inviolate core principles to enable consistent achievement of the impossible. The book's examples provide clear guidance on how to transfer Ranger principles into business leadership success. I was very pleasantly surprised.
