To Risk It All

Admiral James Stavridis is one of the great naval leaders of our time. He spent more than thirty years in the US Navy, rising to the rank of four-star admiral. He was Supreme Allied Commander at NATO. He also holds a PhD from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, where he recently served five years as dean. This book is “a master class in decision-making under pressure through the stories of nine famous acts of leadership in battle, drawn from the history of the United States Navy, with outcomes both glorious and notorious.” The book is packed with great stories and Big Ideas. I’m excited to share some of my favorites so let’s jump straight in!
