《紐約時報》第一名暢銷書 ◎「如果『希望』二字是你的戰略，那這個任務很有可能失敗。」◎領導者該親自檢查，這是檢驗你設下的高標準，部屬是否遵守的唯一方法。◎握住那該死的舵，開始指揮吧──永遠不要被人看到你筋疲力竭的模樣。 本書作者威廉．麥克雷文，是美國前特種作戰部司令官，曾在海豹部隊服役長達37年，贏得「牛蛙」這個特殊稱號。（指現役蛙人暨海豹部隊中服役最久的成員） 在海豹部隊服役期間，他擔任過歐洲特種作戰司令部司令、首任北約特種部隊協調中心主任，指揮包括沙漠風暴、沙漠盾牌行動，與刺殺賓．拉登的海神之矛行動等大小戰役。 從四星海軍上將退役後，他以史上首位非學術背景人士，擔任學生總數高達23萬人的德州大學系統總校長（2015年至2018年）。非軍校畢業，從最低階的見習軍官、到海軍上將、再到領導萬人的校長，他深刻體會：領導從來不是一件容易的事，不論是在哪一種戰場上。 作者特別整理在軍旅生涯中，引領他不斷向前、終身受用的名言，因為數千年來，團隊（軍隊）就是靠格言、信條、寓言和故事，來指引領導者與激勵部屬。 ◎牧羊人應該「聞起來像他的羊」派駐阿富汗期間，作者常在半夜「出去走走」。與車間工人、內勤官，和獨自守著瞭望塔的機槍兵聊天。為什麼？ 因為，待在辦公室太久、從不現身第一線的領袖，絕對得不到部屬尊重。最終將導致你的「氣味」，全然不像你誓言要保護與領導的人。 ◎行動前，確保部屬知道你要做什麼在一場伏擊操演中，作者特別指示，所有人都要清楚整套程序： 「如果我說往前，就向前跑，說往左，就向左移動。」遭到伏擊時，排長如果沒有溝通好想法，眾人無法往同個地方開火，慘劇將無法避免。 組織價值觀和目標的想法，都要溝通、溝通、再溝通，這件事不能假手外人，你要親力親為。 ◎唯一輕鬆的一天，是昨天──海豹部隊的領導格言因跳傘意外受傷、體能驟降，作者還是堅持與海豹隊員出操。沒想到後輩一句：「長官，你已不再需要證明自己的能力了。」徹底惹火他。 當領導者認為自己有資格享受特別待遇、認為苦日子已過去時，就是你不再適合擔任此工作的那一天。 ◎只有希望、沒有計畫？那就是在作夢1985年，作者還是年輕上尉，有一回跟上司報告：「在做完所有訓練之後，我希望任務能順利進行。」 上司
