As a Green Beret deployed to Afghanistan, Scott Mann worked on clandestine missions to form strategic alliances with local tribal groups, in an effort to dismantle the Taliban. When he retired, he realized many of the lessons he learned could be applied outside the context of war. They would strengthen people’s leadership skills and help them realize their personal goals. That’s why he was inspired to write a book to teach others how to overcome their doubts and uncertainties, “Nobody Is Coming to Save You.”
In it, he provides readers with the tools they need to take action without hesitation; establish “social capital”—what he defines as one of the key components of good leadership; and “get big stuff done.” He witnessed the power of building relationships while working as a Green Beret and stressed that it’s an essential part of effective leadership.
