If you are in a new situation, you need a new battle drill.

If you find yourself in a combat zone like Iraq, this may be the most important book you ever listen to, here's why. In Tactical Influence, you will discover this new battle drill is simple but not easy. I’m nobody special, and when I came up with these steps, I didn’t know what the hell I was doing.

But this book isn't for everyone. What I teach takes effort and humility. There are no quick fixes in war, and this will challenge you in unfamiliar ways. As you follow the steps in this book, you might, at times, feel silly or weak. This is especially true in a male-dominated unit of type A macho men. You will need to be brave. You’ll need to stand up as a true leader.

You must remember that protecting the lives of your platoon is worth going the extra mile - even if that means looking foolish on occasion. You may need to stand strong and sell these ideas to your men, or even those senior to you. It might be a challenge.

To the best of my knowledge, I am the only person using these ideas in warfare, but I’ve replicated my success with my platoon leaders when I was in company command, and I’ve seen them work with many different leaders. They have found incredible results, and so can you.

You will learn:

• A counterintuitive approach to squashing an insurgency among local civilian populations
• How to become a trusted person who the locals can depend upon
• Why using techniques of a stock broker may be your best friend in the field
• Think an iron fist will work in every situation? Think again!
• How a book by Warren Buffet's partner changed my strategy in the field
• Why you need to learn the strategy of reciprocity and how to apply it now
• The reason "door-to-door selling" will save you massive amounts of time in the long run

But that's not all, you will learn the real life stories and case studies that applied these methods at an extremely high success rate.

Let's get into it!
