Leadership skills that create exceptional personal and professional success-from the military's toughest school

From the Dieppe Raid and the D-Day invasion to Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. Army Rangers have earned their reputation for bravery, leadership, and sacrifice in combat. In any military conflict, Rangers are among the first troops on the ground. They willingly accept the most dangerous missions in war, and their volunteer members risk all they have to get the job done. They are tough, they are fearless, and they are leaders.

Ranger School teaches its graduates how to excel under extreme conditions, how to persevere despite seemingly impossible odds, and how to develop the mental strength to succeed at any cost. In No Excuse Leadership, former Ranger Brace Barber shares the leadership lessons all Ranger School alumni learn. Those lessons not only helped him excel as an officer, but also gave him the skills to succeed as a businessman in the private sector. Currently the cofounder and president of two companies, Barber explains what it's like to make it through the toughest and best leadership school in the U.S. military and-through the personal stories of nine other Rangers-illuminates fundamental Ranger School lessons about what makes great leadership and great leaders. For business leaders who want to challenge themselves and their organizations, for good leaders who want to be great leaders, for leaders who want to prove to themselves and to their organizations that no challenge is impossible, No Excuse Leadership offers an inside look at the ultimate leadership training ground-Ranger School.
