#1 New York Times bestselling author Admiral McRaven tells stories from his life and career that illustrate the principles of effective leadership during times of crisis.

Throughout his 40-year career, Admiral McRaven has experienced every manner of calamity imaginable. From managing failed hostage rescues to responding to student unrest, McRaven has learned how to successfully navigate crisesβ€”those moments that push the limits of your experience and challenge your confidence, when leadership skills alone may not be enough.

Conquering Crisis provides a new set of tools for facing these stressful moments with poise. It breaks crises down into five phases: assess, report, contain, shape, and manageβ€”and provides concrete steps to come out the other side stronger. With incredible personal stories, thought-provoking parables, and memorable lessons, Admiral McRaven sheds light on the ways we can rise to the occasion in times of crisis and act as leaders, no matter the situation.
