It's Not About You!: Discovering Selfless Leadership

by Ryan McCool

Have you ever encountered a leader that you inherently wanted to go above and beyond for? The type of leader you would gladly follow regardless of the assignment? More importantly, have you ever wondered how you can be this type of leader?

In It’s Not About You!, author Ryan McCool seeks to answer this very question. United States Marine Corps Officers train to lead teams into highly stressful combat environments. While corporate leaders aren’t taking their teams into war, they still bear the great responsibility of leadership.

Follow along with Ryan for a fun journey as he unpacks leadership principles instilled during Marine Corps Officer training, and lessons learned while leading Marines at home and abroad. With each military lesson, the author calls on his corporate experience to highlight a relevant example in the business world. The selfless leadership style embodied in the book inspires teams by removing the focus from yourself and instead placing it squarely on the individuals you have the privilege to lead. Put simply – It’s Not About You!

[Marin Higgins · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is extremely engaging, with moving examples from the Marines and corporations to solidify each lesson. I would not just say these lessons are valuable, I would say they are ESSENTIAL to not only being a good leader but being a good person, partner, family member and friend. Must read.
