I would If I was wanting to find out how to be a more effective leader.
I think it's good information since I am at this position in my job and could probably learn a few things
I would not as it seems a little to serious for me and I don't want to learn from people in the armed forces as I think their perspective is warped.
No, there's already enough leadership books out there, I doubt a new one has anything new that another book hasn't already covered
I feel that this image takes away from the idea of the book. It feels a bit too strong.
Probably not since I'm not in any kind of leadership position.
Yes, because not only is the book cover captivating to me, but the title of the book makes me want to learn how to lead to win.
No, I wouldn't buy this book. I don't want a military mindset at all. I already know how to win anyway.
Probably not as I think these types of books are usually pretty cringe and most of the time the person lucked into their position and was just in the right place at the right time.
Sure. More than anything, I'm curious about your take on leadership. All leadership books aren't created equally, for sure, but I am curious about your take on it.
I would get this book because I believe wisdom from leadership from the military can apply to my job and career.
It looks like something interesting to read so I'd check it out
I would consider buy this book because that photo is sweet. I really enjoy military stuff.
I would be willing to buy this book because I would like to see how this retired admiral would apply Navy leadership strategies to the civilian business world and recount interesting stories of his time in service leading people and programs.
No, probably not. After completing a degree in leadership, it's just not a topic I enjoy reading about.
I would give it a shot. I like to add some self help/inspiration type books into my regular reading cycle and this looks pretty good.
I think I would buy it. I really like the cover. I like the colorful ship. I am curious how to improve my leadership skills so it would probably help
No, because I do not want to radically change my life or inspire me. It just does not appeal to me.
No. I'm not interested in self-help books and this is not something I would seek out or enjoy under any circumstances.
I would not likely purchase the book because I am not especially interested in leadership as a topic.
I wouldn't buy this book because it's not really something I'm interested in reading. I think other people might like it though.
I think because it was written by a former US Navy Admiral and Top Gun Fighter Pilot , so I would be interested in these stories.
No, because I do not want to read or learning more about leadership right now. Also please find a better picture of the aircraft carrier, it would help make the cover look less cheesy.
I would not, because I feel like many books with titles like these end up promoting ideas that resemble scams.
I would not buy this book. The subject matter is interesting but the cover is too military focused. It looks more like a historical book than a book about lessons in leadership. The title of the book is more general while the book cover feels very specific. I feel I would not relate to the lessons in the book because I don't have a military background.
Yes. Because I see at the bottom where it says retired US Navy Admiral I come from a family in the military and I am into military movies as well and my dad's in the Navy, my brothers in the military, so yes I would buy that book and I really like the picture of the front of the cover too that's pretty awesome.
I would, it seems like this book would be beneficial to me and help in some way.
Yes, I would buy the book, at a reasonable price. I feel any advice you can get is a positive!
I would buy this book because it's important to learn to be a leader in today's business world as it helps separate you from everyone else. Businesses are looking for people to help lead their companies into a rapidly evolving future and job candidates with leadership ability will be the first pick for new jobs.
I would not buy this book because I am not into the US military and it seems like this is where most of the leadership of the book comes from.
I would not buy it because it seems to disjointed. All the different stories may have the same theme but I don't feel that it would build to anything or be anything definitive I could use.
No, the front and center display of military authority looks like something to make you THINK they're a leader, not someone who knows they're a leader. I'd expect something more dignified for a person of authority.
I would purchase this book because I am always looking to find a way to win in every area of my life. Learning new skills is always good.
No. I really don't like these kinds of book, it bores me a little.
I would absolutely buy and read this book. It would be fascinating to learn leadership qualities from a Navy admiral and Top Gun pilot. I am very pro-military and believe the average person can learn a lot from their experience.
No, the subject matter of this book isn't appealing enough for me to make a purchasing decision. I do like the bold colors that are in use on the cover, however.
No, I would not buy this book. I am confused if this is a fictional story book, a self-help book. The image with the text is confusing together
Yes I will buy this book because, the title sounds very interesting and it also has a very nice cover.
No, I'm not really into Navy or Top Gun not my cup of tea.
I would not. I am not interested in NAVY stuff.
Probably not, I’m not really a fan of self-improvement books. I like to learn from experience
I would not buy this book, firstly because I am inherently anti-military and avoid any association with military media in any format. Secondly, I don't think the book would contain any life-changing advice I haven't already heard before.
I would not buy this book as I personally feel self help books are trash, especially one advertising that it will teach you hot to win something at life. The only thing you've won is a trashy book.
I do not really care about leasing people so I would not buy this book. Plus I think the ship looks a little gaudy.
No. I would not buy this book. I do not think this book would be relatable to me. The author is clearly identifying himself by title and images as a veteran of the armed forces. This seems like a book that would relate to someone that has served in the military or is in government leadership. This is not me.
No, I would not buy this book. I think most leaders are naturals who cannot be taught leadership through a book. Also, I do not have a military background so the author's style of leadership would probably not appeal to me. The cover would not catch my eye either.
Yes I would, The thing that clinched it for me is that it was written by a retired Navy Admiral, and I would imagine being in such a position long enough to retire from it has to have taught him a lot that he could pass on
I probably would not buy the book because it states there are stories related to the topic rather than advice on how to lead. I prefer NOT to read other people's stories and prefer a tutorial or guide. The words above the title make me feel like I'll be spending too much time reading examples of other people's experiences.
everyone wants to in some part be a leader in life, this book strives to give one mans opinion on how to get there
I would not buy the book. It looks like war strategy win kind of stories and not life success stories. It's just not something I would be interested in.
