Staring Down the Wolf by Mark Divine #2188

Today’s book: Staring Down the Wolf by Mark Divine—a warrior’s guide to leading from the inside out by conquering fear, mastering self, and building elite teams rooted in trust and purpose.

Here’s your 1-minute summary:

• The “wolf” is fear. To lead powerfully, you must face down the fear that holds you back—especially the internal kind.
• Authenticity builds trust. True leaders drop ego, share failures, and model the courage to grow.
• Emotional awareness is a strength. Great leadership isn’t cold—it’s clear, grounded, and emotionally intelligent.
• Service is the highest form of power. Put the mission and your people before yourself—and your influence will multiply.
• Train every day. Mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual discipline forge the resilience needed to lead through chaos.

The world needs leaders who have tamed their own fear. What “wolf” will you face down today?
