In the intro, it says that this book is not about bragging about all their death defining SEAL missions, but this is a lie. Some of the advice I also disagreed with, like firing two employees who don’t get along because the bottom line is more important than any individual... can confirm I would never want to work for either of these men, even if they claim they would risk their lives for me because that’s what good leaders do.
