I had the opportunity to speak recently with General Stanley McChrystal, retired four-star general, former Commander of the International Security Assistance Force and Commander, US Forces, Afghanistan. Since 2010, he has taught courses in international relations at Yale University as a Senior Fellow of the University’s Jackson Institute for Global Affairs.
General McChrystal is also the the bestselling author of Leaders: Myth and Reality, described by the publisher as follows: “Leadership is not what you think it is… and it never was. Find out why in our new book Leaders: Myth and Reality which explains why leaders are important, but rarely for the reasons we think. Leaders, the follow up to New York Times bestseller Team of Teams and Wall Street Journal bestseller One Mission, profiles 13 historical leaders and reveals essential lessons on leading today.”

I was a police cadet sergeant and also a vice president for student government there was no one model or rule book to follow alot of leading is derived from the need of a group.
Jordan peterson has a clear understanding of leading.
Interesting how the general loves Gen Robert E Lee but throws hin under the bus for fighting against the US and for slavery (a reach to say the least) but say he admires Al Zarkawi (murderous terrorist) and then says “who am I to judge him”. Talk about moral relativism, all I know is that I’m glad this guy is retired.
