Publisher's Synopsis
Intrepid Professionals is a book that equips executives, managers, entrepreneurs and self-improvement seekers to understand and leverage principles of the military mindset. Intrepid Professionals is designed to create more agile, innovative, and financially competitive organizations and individuals. The book's material outlines the common thread for success in those that dared to defy the odds. Those who are considered the tip of the spear in military terms.
Real stories (called In the Mindset for each chapter) orientate the readers' thoughts with research to back it up. It balances the problems and pragmatic solutions of our time against the contemplative answers of great philosophers, scientists, thinkers, explorers, historians, and notable military warriors. Through the minds of amazing intrepid people, Intrepid Professionals paints a picture of the mindset that is embraced by Intrepid Professionals.
At the end of each Area of Impact (aka chapter), there is a set of thought provoking statements and questions called Actionable Intelligence that will help you think critically about what the reader has read. We do not provide useless tips, advice, or practices. Far too many resources already exist for quick fixes that rarely have lasting value. Instead, we have constructed each Area of Impact as a self-contained discussion with its own conclusion and direction.
