I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. We all know of Tom Cruise's well-known movie Top Gun, but did you know that Top Gun is a real thing and that there is a book about it. This is a quick, short read about leadership and lessons learned in the cockpit.

Really good book which I enjoyed much more for the intensive peeks into the world of TOPGUN and 'dogfighting' as they call it. Much of the leadership lessons won't be news to anyone who follows productivity gurus like Robin Sharma, but the manner in which these are presented here, illustrated through the TOPGUN recollections and the author's career, really make for a fresh setting and backdrop. Even better, the author practices what he preaches - at the start of every chapter is the leadership lesson he wants his audience to come away with, aka don't bury the lead as he points out in one such lesson.
Really entertaining and with a cool background of leadership and its skills woven through

TOPGUN'S TOP 10 : Leadership Lessons from the Cockpit is an insightful look into a world and career that has been highly romanticised by Hollywood. It's a book that will keep you interested as you read, You may even find yourself learning a few lessons you can implement in your own life.

TopGun’s Top 10 gives an inside view of what TopGun is really like and how lessons learned there and during the authors military career has provided him with insight in leadership and the qualities and attributes good leaders hone. Snodgrass gives great advice and it is accompanied with stories on how he came to live by that advice which I feel really showed ownership and made it more real. I will have to say I love the movies TopGun and I realize how Hollywood can romanticize the school so to get to read how the school is in reality and what it takes to get there as a student/instructor was so insightful. The pictures from Snodgrass's military career also added to the overall feel of the book.

I was provided with an electronic ARC through NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I got a preview copy from Netgalley and am just like... WOW. This book is incredibly well written with awesome stories inside the REAL TopGun school, stories of command responsibility and stories of networking in the Pentagon. I read this book in an afternoon, it was so easy to understand. The photographs were nice, but I wish they were in living color.

I also learned a few life & leadership lessons. One of which being the importance of not burying the lead in a communication but putting the lead right up at top. I normally put my bottom line at the bottom and need to go the other way. Another was the need to empathize and re-empathize in a brief what the objectives are beforehand. I also need to be a better networker and how to prioritize tasks better.
