The Rogue Warriors Strategy for Success

I have read several business success books but none of the others even came close to this one. Marcinko cuts through all the politics and political correctness and delivers an excellent set of principles applicable to any industry. His war stories are more than just entertaining, they really drive home the points that he is making about the importance of planning, training, etc. This is must reading for everyone who is a warrior at heart regardless of their field of endeavor.

This book is entertaining and well written. The stories used to illustrate the points made are usually an adventure in themselves. Richard Marcinko practices what he preaches and this book will tell you how to do the same. This is an easy to read guide to being successful and the best book of its' kind I have ever read. This gives the reader the no excuses, no BS way to succeed. Buy this book!

In his first business book, Marcinko showed you how to dig into yourself and find the qualities that make a leader. Having devleoped those qualities, Marcinko now shows you how to go out and engage your opponents in the business world and win! Through a life time of hard won lessons and illustrative stories from business, Marcinko explains what the principle is and then shows you how it can be applied. Whether you have real snipers shooting at you from a distant tree line, or the sleazier kind who try to sabotage your corporate success, Marcinko shows you how to meet them and beat them. You don't do it by sitting at your desk, you do it by treating each day as a battle, in which YOU dictate the rules of engagement. Because the cowards who snipe at you in the office are lacking the one trait you will already have thanks to these books: The character and guts to lay everything on the line to make yourself successful. This book and Marcinko's earlier management tome should make a nice boxed gift set for any manager or aspiring manager.

I have read all of Marcinko's warrior books up to and including "Option Delta."His books are some of the best that I have read. Reading this book was the best thing that had happened to me. It had given me alot of self-confidence and taught me how to deal with people. His teachings had helped me lose alot of weight. Also I don't get frustrated with people as quickly as I had before. This book is great reading for everyone. Read it a few times, you will see a diffrent side each time. KEEP IT UP DEMO DICK

I've read them all...leadership and business books that is. They all seem to rehash the same ideas and concepts in the same way. Not Marcinko. This is the no B.S. approach to success. If you want to be inspired, and get practical ideas from someone who has acheived success against tremendous odds, this book is for you. If you are faint of heart, and can't take some straight talk, then you might want to read some scholarly piece by a Harvard MBA instead.
