Conquering crisis : ten lessons to learn before you need them / Admiral William H. McRaven (U.S. Navy Retired).
"Throughout his over-forty-year career, Admiral McRaven has experienced every manner of disaster imaginable. From managing failed hostage rescues to responding to campus unrest, McRaven has learned how to successfully navigate crises--those moments that push the limits of your experience and challenge your confidence, when leadership skills alone may not be enough. Conquering Crisis provides a new set of tools for facing these stressful moments with poise. It breaks crises down into five phases--and provides concrete steps to overcome even the most challenging scenarios. With incredible personal stories, thought-provoking parables, and memorable lessons, Admiral McRaven sheds light on the ways we can rise to the occasion in times of crisis and act as leaders, no matter the situation."-- Dust jacket flap.
