“The Wisdom of the Bullfrog” is Admiral William H. McRaven’s clear-eyed treatise on the leadership qualities that separate the good from the truly great.

The book contains multiple stories of military history and personal experiences from Admiral McRaven’s distinguished career with the Navy Seals.

In his 37 years as a Navy Seal, he commanded at every level. 

As a four-star admiral, his final assignment was as commander of all US Special Operations Forces. 

He dealt with every conceivable leadership challenge.

“The book draws on these and countless other experiences from Admiral McRaven’s incredible life, including crisis situations, management debates, organizational transitions, and ethical dilemmas, to provide readers with the most important leadership lessons he has learned over the course of his forty years of service,” said a review on Goodreads.com.

“Overall, a well written and well organized leadership book with helpful and powerful insights, and while it comes across as light and surface level at times, it is still a generally insightful book,” it added.
