  Marine Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler's expose of American Corporate Imperialism. Butler said, "I served in all commissioned ranks from second lieutenant to Major General. And during that period I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism. I suspected I was just part of the racket all the time. Now I am sure of it."

  A study of how Francis Marion delivered the leadership and strategy to defeat the British in the South Carolina Lowcountry campaigns. “Dougherty and Smith have produced an excellent study of Marion as a commander for history enthusiasts, their work deserves to garner equal attention from those in the business community, business schools, public sector management, and the military.”—Journal of the American RevolutionFrancis Marion is certainly the stuff of which legends are made. His nickname “The Swamp Fox,” bestowed upon him by one of his fiercest enemies, captures his wily approach to battle. The embellishment of his exploits in Parson Weems’s early biography makes separation of fact from fiction difficult, but certainly represents the awe, loyalty, and attraction he produced in those around him. His legacy is enshrined in the fact that more places in the United States have been named after him than any other soldier of the American Revolution, with the sole exception of George Washington. Even today’s U.S. Army Rangers include Marion as one of their formative heroes. Surely much about leadership can be learned from such an intriguing personality.Leading like the Swamp Fox: The Leadership Lessons of Francis Marion unlocks those lessons. Divided into three parts, the book first presents the historical background and context necessary to appreciate Marion’s situation. The main body of the book then examines Marion’s leadership across eight categories, with several vignettes demonstrating Marion’s competency. The summary then captures some conclusions about how leadership impacted the American Revolution in the South Carolina Lowcountry. An appendix provides some information about how the reader might explore those physical reminders of Marion and his exploits that exist today. Readers interested in history or leadership, or both, will all find something for them in Leading like the Swamp Fox.“Useful to students of leadership, or as an introduction to the Southern Campaign and to Marion…. [A] good treatise on leadership, and its overview of the Southern Campaign is an ideal introduction to the topic.”—Journal of Military History

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Ever watch a colleague solve in 5 minutes what takes you 5 hours? Or sit in meetings wondering how everyone else seems to "get it" faster? 
  It's not intelligence. It's not experience. 
  It's a learnable skill you were never taught. 
  While schools dump facts into your brain, nobody teaches you how to think. So you end up guessing at decisions, drowning in data you can't analyze, and watching opportunities pass to people who just seem to "figure things out" faster. 
  Here's what happens without sharp thinking: 
  You spend hours on problems that should take minutes. You make decisions you regret by Monday. Your boss overlooks you for the promotion because you're "not strategic enough." You watch less-qualified people get ahead simply because they think more clearly. 
  Here's what changes when you master critical thinking: 
  Problems that used to paralyze you? You dissect them in minutes. Data overwhelm? You spot patterns others miss. Team debates? You cut through confusion with clarity. Career growth? You become the person leadership depends on when the stakes are high. 
  This book gives you the exact system top performers use: 
  ✓ The 3-step framework that breaks down any complex problem  
  ✓ How to make bulletproof decisions even with incomplete information  
  ✓ The communication tricks that make people actually listen to your ideas  
  ✓ Spotting misinformation and bad data before it sabotages your work  
  ✓ Creative problem-solving techniques that impress bosses and save hours  
  ✓ Strategic thinking methods used by executives—simplified for anyone  
  No fluff. No theory. Just eight chapters of frameworks you'll use Monday morning. 
  Start with Chapter 1 over coffee. Apply the first technique in your 10am meeting. Watch people's reactions shift by lunch. 
  Perfect for: Mid-career professionals tired of spinning their wheels. New managers drowning in decisions. Anyone sick of being the smartest person who gets overlooked.
