No Yelling: The 9 Secrets of Marine Corps Leadership You Must Know to Win in Business

by Wally Adamchik

Drawing upon real-life experiences from those on active duty as well as those now in the civilian sector, this book illustrates how to emulate the leadership principles that are the hallmark of the U.S. Marine Corps. Based on findings gleaned from more than 100 interviews, this guide presents the key factors that are at the heart of the marine's approach along with side-by-side comparisons of their application in military and civilian settings. A series of questions is provided at the end of each chapter to facilitate group discussion on topics ranging from integrity and setting the example to the commander’s intent and rehearsals and critiques prompting a personal analysis that leads the individual to review the process and develop their own methods for implementation. Questions from these sections also serve as the basis for a year-long curriculum for leadership development.

One of the best leadership books I have read, and I have read MANY. I always tell people I am a student of leadership. Since my time in the Corps (81-85), I have enjoyed the challenges and rewards of helping others to achieve their goals, feel good about themselves, and make things happen. NO YELLING hits so many familiar thoughts, it's spooky. It's a great piece of work. I have most pages dog-eared or marked-up in one fashion or another. The civilian and Marine examples are awesome.

Character, Empathy, Communication, Authenticity, Enthusiasm, Responsibility, & Love for Leadership!

Outstanding Marine!
