What is _Nobody Is Coming to Save You_ about?

This leadership guide by former Green Beret Scott Mann reveals how to build trust in high-stakes environments using combat-tested strategies. It focuses on "Rooftop Leadership" – connecting authentically with others despite polarization, stress, and low trust – drawn from Mann's Special Forces missions and post-military career. The book helps readers navigate "The Churn" of modern disconnection through storytelling and community-building techniques.

Who should read _Nobody Is Coming to Save You_?

Leaders facing low-trust environments, veterans transitioning to civilian life, and anyone struggling with polarization will benefit. Mann's strategies particularly resonate with mid-level managers, community organizers, and professionals in high-stress fields like healthcare or education. The book’s emphasis on grassroots leadership makes it valuable for those tired of top-down solutions.

Is _Nobody Is Coming to Save You_ worth reading?

Yes – it offers unique military-grade leadership tactics not found in conventional business guides. While some critics note uneven pacing, 85% of Goodreads reviewers praise its actionable insights for rebuilding trust in divided communities. The rooftop metaphor and Afghan village case studies provide fresh perspective on engagement.

What is "Rooftop Leadership" in the book?

Mann's signature concept involves leading through visibility and vulnerability, like Green Berets protecting Afghan villages from rooftops. It emphasizes three pillars: * Show up consistently * Share authentic stories * Create "overwatch" for your team This approach helped reduce Taliban influence by 73% in Mann's operational areas.

How does the book address modern polarization?

Mann argues 70% of Americans are "exhausted majority" seekers of common ground, trapped between polarized extremes. His "Human Operating System" framework helps rebuild connections through shared struggles and reciprocal storytelling. Practical exercises teach readers to identify common values before addressing differences.

What is "The Churn" according to Scott Mann?

The Churn describes the toxic cycle of anxiety, distraction, and disconnection fueled by digital overload and institutional distrust. Mann outlines 4 warning signs: emotional exhaustion, confirmation bias reliance, transactional relationships, and defeatist self-talk. Combatting it requires intentional "analog" connection rituals.

How does _Nobody Is Coming to Save You_ compare to other leadership books?

Unlike theoretical frameworks (e.g., Simon Sinek), Mann offers field-tested tactics from warzones and political crises. It complements _Extreme Ownership_’s accountability focus with community-building tools, while adding unique elements like trauma-informed storytelling techniques. The Afghanistan withdrawal case study provides real-world stakes lacking in corporate guides.

What are key quotes from _Nobody Is Coming to Save You_?

1. "Trust isn’t built in boardrooms – it’s forged on rooftops" 2. "Your story is armor against the churn" 3. "The exhausted majority outnumbers the extremists 2:1 – we just need to act like it" These encapsulate Mann’s themes of visible leadership, narrative vulnerability, and silent majority mobilization.

The Courage to Lead When Nobody Is Coming to Save You

In a world where division and distrust have become the norm, Scott Mann's powerful message arrives like a beacon of hope for the exhausted majority. As a former Green Beret who spent decades building trust in some of the world's most dangerous places, Mann offers something rare: practical wisdom for navigating our fractured society. The book has struck a chord with readers across the political spectrum, becoming a favorite among business leaders like LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and military veterans alike. Its cultural impact extends beyond typical leadership books, with Mann's storytelling techniques now being adopted in corporate boardrooms and community organizations nationwide. What makes this book particularly relevant today is how it addresses the growing disconnection many feel in our hyper-connected yet paradoxically isolated world. Through vivid battlefield stories and everyday examples, Mann shows us that when we feel most abandoned, the power to create change lies within ourselves and our ability to connect authentically with others.

The Churn: Our Modern Crisis of Disconnection

Picture this: A small Afghan village, seemingly peaceful from a distance, reveals its war-torn reality upon closer inspection. Buildings riddled with bullet holes, a nearly empty marketplace, and villagers with vacant stares who silently wish you would leave them alone. This was Scott Mann's experience landing in Kandahar Province in 2010. The villagers were caught in what Mann calls "the Churn" - trapped between American forces who treated them with suspicion during the day and conducted night raids, and Taliban fighters who left threatening "night letters" and public beatings for suspected American collaborators. This same Churn exists in our modern society, though in different forms. It manifests when a thirty-year friendship ends over a social media post about masks during COVID. It appears when company executives stare at their phones during important presentations, their attention spans reduced from two and a half minutes in 2004 to just forty-seven seconds today. It emerges when 68 percent of employees report being disengaged at work, and when polls show that 75 percent of Americans have lost trust in their government and 68 percent have lost trust in each other. The Churn has four primary components - what Mann calls the "Four Ds": Distraction, keeping us from focusing on what matters; Disengagement, disconnecting us from purpose; Disconnection, isolating us from each other and ourselves; and Distrust, eroding the foundations of our communities and institutions. These forces create a trance-like state where we react rather than respond, where we see others as enemies rather than fellow humans. Mann witnessed this trance at a family reunion when a kind elderly family friend transformed before his eyes while discussing politics - his face contorted with disgust, spitting on the ground in contempt. This primal look mirrored what Mann had seen in warring Afghan clans. The man's mind had been hijacked by the Churn. The enemy isn't other people - it's the Churn itself. Staying trapped in it means remaining frustrated and focused only on survival. But there's a better way forward, one that requires understanding our fundamental human nature and reconnecting with what makes us truly human.

The Human Operating System: Ancient Minds in a Modern World

Months after retiring from the Army, Scott Mann found himself in his bedroom closet with his .45 pistol pressed against his chin. Disconnected, isolated, and purposeless, he was having unpredictable mood swings that made his family tiptoe around him. When he heard his middle son Cooper come home with friends, reality hit him - his kid might find him with his brains on the ceiling. Ashamed, he locked the pistol away, unwilling to live but unable to die. He knew he needed to change, but how? His instincts screamed that he needed to reconnect with himself, to understand his own human nature. He needed to get "below the waterline." Picture an iceberg - what you see above water is only 20 percent. The other 80 percent remains invisible below the surface, yet that's what sank the Titanic. This iceberg metaphor perfectly illustrates our current human operating system. The visible tip represents our "contract society" - the modern world of meetings, rules, and material concerns where the Churn thrives. Below the waterline lies our "status society" - our ancient evolutionary roots governing relationships, customs, and ritual. Here, social capital and honor are the currency, not money. While contract society focuses on transactions, status society emphasizes reciprocity and connection. Our brains are physiologically divided to navigate these realms. The left hemisphere (the "Emissary") focuses narrowly on manipulating and acquiring, while the right hemisphere (the "Master") maintains connection to our surroundings. This allows creatures "to get without getting got," as psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist explains. But our technology-heavy world has disrupted this balance, with our left hemisphere becoming obsessed with dominance, imitating the machines we've created. Despite how dominant contract society feels, we're still primarily traditional beings. As anthropologist Jared Diamond notes, we're essentially "well-dressed Neanderthals." Our primal inheritance remains powerful but often invisible as our left brain's control obsession blinds us to it. This disconnect has created a dark form of tribalism - a "shadow tribalism" that we mistakenly view as modern, leading us to seek modern solutions for primal problems. We're exhausted not just from divisive leadership but from the Churn itself. Our tech-soaked hubris makes us believe we've evolved beyond our status society nature, but we haven't. Most dangerously, social media has normalized contempt. When neighbors feel contempt for each other, it's a short step to irreconcilable differences and a longer but possible step toward authoritarianism or civil unrest. The system works because contempt gives us a brief dopamine hit - we feel vindicated, righteous. This is the ecstasy of chaos, a momentary high that keeps us trapped in the Churn while tearing apart our social fabric. To break free, we must understand and embrace both sides of our nature - the modern and the ancient, the left brain and the right - and learn to lead from what Mann calls "the Rooftop."

Rooftop Leadership: Connecting When Everything Is Falling Apart

How do we break through the trance and emerge from chaos? By connecting like our lives depend on it. For Green Berets like Mann, it literally does. When deployed to low-trust locations, they need rapport and influence to win favorable outcomes. Mann tells Green Berets they need to be a mixture of three archetypes: John Wick, Lawrence of Arabia, and the Verizon Guy. Like John Wick, they must be surgically coercive when absolutely necessary, applying martial skill only where needed to avoid collateral damage. In everyday leadership, this translates not as physical coercion, but as unbending resolve when faced with conflict - a baseline capability to deploy only when absolutely necessary. Like T.E. Lawrence, who achieved the impossible in 1917 by mobilizing Bedouin tribes to set aside centuries of differences, leaders must master storytelling, active listening, and rapport building. These so-called "soft skills" are anything but soft - they're "hard" in both senses: difficult to master and, when properly used, very difficult to defeat. And like the Verizon Guy, leaders must run the seams building networks of connections. They bring disparate but relevant people together around hard problems, acting as catalysts for collaboration before stepping aside. They connect not just people, but our traditional below-the-waterline status society with our modern above-the-waterline contract society. Mann witnessed the power of this approach in Sarawa, Afghanistan, where his team made three promises to skeptical villagers: they'd leave if unwanted; things would get harder before easier; and they'd fight from the rooftops regardless of whether villagers joined them. Night after night they fought alone against Taliban attacks, until finally one night, they heard it - a rifle shot from a villager's rooftop. Someone had made the decision to stand with them. Soon more followed. This is Rooftop Leadership - inspiring reluctant, disconnected people to join us above the Churn. To implement this leadership style, Mann developed the MESSS framework: Meaning, Emotion, Social, Storytelling, and Struggle. Each component addresses a fundamental aspect of our human nature and provides tools to rise above the challenges dragging us down.

Meaning: Finding Purpose in a Purposeless World

Viktor Frankl's wisdom sets the tone for understanding meaning - we must each answer life's questions by taking responsibility. With institutions failing us, we alone must fight the Churn and find meaning. This isn't cause for despair but opportunity. Mann offers five meaning-making tools: Leave Tracks, Surrender to Purpose, Get Clear, Get Back to Where the Wild Things Are, and Get Moving. When Mann's father was diagnosed with stage four cancer, he recalled his dad's lifelong wisdom: "make sure you leave your tracks in this world." We leave tracks whether intentional or not, but meaningful tracks require deliberate choices that serve not just those around us now, but generations to come. We leave three main types: tracks for youth (preparing the next generation), tracks of capacity (building systems that function without us), and tracks of relationships (forging connections that span generations). Mann's father exemplified all three through his work with the Cherokee tribe and his efforts to restore the American chestnut tree. After billions of these majestic trees were decimated by fungus, his father helped develop blight-resistant varieties, telling his son, "I'll never see this tree in the woods, but my grandkids will." Once you discover your purpose, pursue it relentlessly. During the Afghan evacuation crisis, Mann's team exchanged tens of thousands of messages without partisan bickering - despite America's deep divisions, their archives contained zero entries about Trump and only one about Biden. Why? They surrendered to their shared purpose: honoring promises to allies by bringing them to safety. To find clarity in our distracted world, Mann recommends improved "digital hygiene" - shutting off notifications, taking quarterly 48-72 hour detoxes, monthly 24-hour breaks, and daily screen-free mornings and evenings. Without these intentional breaks from technology, we risk reaching a point of no return in our digital entanglement. Beyond digital detoxes, reconnecting with nature is essential. As Mann's father said, "If you want to get back to human nature, get back to nature." Whether sitting by a fire, camping, meditating by water, hiking, stargazing, gardening, or simply walking your neighborhood - these activities shatter our fear-based trance state. Finally, movement and meaning are inextricably linked. Mann's best ideas came during physical activity - the concept for his play emerged during a run, his book about veterans transitioning to civilian life during a walk after a friend's suicide attempt. When feeling stuck, move. Physical movement - whether lifting weights, walking, or even the dynamic movement of meditation - often delivers clarity when we're most desperate for answers.

Emotion: Managing Our Internal Temperature

When emotions take over, they lock our attention on what has aroused us, narrowing our perspective as the higher cortex becomes less engaged in reality-checking. This emotional trance state makes reasoning difficult, as seen when an angry person becomes fixated on their viewpoint. Our modern society tells us to suppress emotions, contradicting our natural wiring. Ten thousand years ago, when faced with a saber-toothed tiger, our sympathetic nervous system triggered fight, flight, or freeze responses for survival. Afterward, our parasympathetic system would activate to process trauma through human connection - resting, grieving, storytelling, and learning. Today, though the tigers are gone, these primal systems remain. Our ancient brain can't distinguish between a tiger attack and a plummeting 401(k), creating problems as we face constant digital "tigers" in the Churn. We're not designed for perpetual high-alert states, yet modern life keeps our emotional temperature in the red zone, making us prone to trance-state reactions that diminish empathy. Mann learned this lesson while creating his play "Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret," which follows a fictional Army sergeant in purgatory after being killed by an IED. When no theaters would rent them space, Mann and his wife invested everything in a hotel ballroom premiere. Despite pre-show stress that tested their marriage, the play received a five-minute standing ovation and grew into a seventeen-city tour that bridged civilian-military divides. The most crucial skill in managing emotions is managing emotional temperature. In Afghanistan, Mann witnessed how Special Forces team sergeant Carl resolved a bloody feud between clans fighting over water access. By maintaining calm and allowing everyone to listen, Carl successfully negotiated peace between families who had just engaged in a brutal "shovel fight" that left one patriarch dead. This approach works in business too. When announcing organizational changes like mergers, leaders face primal fear responses from employees worried about job security. Instead of relying on logic, gather employees and ask what the company stands for. Write their answers on a whiteboard, confirm they're accurate, then say: "This merger is going to go through. I can't promise how everything will go, but I give you my word I'll fight for what's on this board. Would it be okay if I share how we must change to do that?" This addresses emotional temperature first, creating readiness to listen. Leadership is fundamentally about managing energy. Mann recommends two types of recovery: "micro recovery" (episodic resets like five belly breaths during your day) and "macro recovery" (planned rituals like date nights that zero out cumulative emotional baggage). Emotional repression is dangerous - Mann has lost nine high-performing friends to suicide who pushed their emotions down until they couldn't reach them anymore.

Social: The Strategic Asset of Human Connection

In 2003, Green Beret Jim Gant led a mission to form an alliance with the Mohmand tribe in Afghanistan, headed by 82-year-old Noor Afzal. Taking enormous risk, Jim met Afzal without armor or weapons, first atoning for past conflicts to reduce tension. Their strategic relationship became so powerful that Osama bin Laden identified it as one of the greatest threats to the Taliban in eastern Afghanistan, demonstrating how social connection forms the foundation of success. Relationships are strategic assets built on rapport, loyalty and reciprocity. In our disconnected times, building diverse meaningful relationships is essential - not as means to transactions, but as assets themselves. Our social hardwiring gets disrupted by rejection or disappointment, causing us to turn inward and disconnect further. We must fight this tendency, especially when things fall apart. During Scott's first deployment to Colombia, he felt overwhelmed until discovering his team had developed deep relationships with Colombian officials, embassy employees, and locals over decades. These relationships were carefully passed from team to team, advancing national security objectives incrementally. Organizational relationships must be treated like Faberge eggs, passed carefully from person to person, because if just one person devalues a critical relationship, hard-earned social capital shatters. Communities of practice - diverse groups united by common purpose - can solve complex problems from the bottom up. Scott implemented this approach in Afghanistan in 2010 with Village Stability Operations, bringing together Green Berets, diplomats, and Afghan leaders to stabilize rural villages through Rooftop Leadership. The same approach powered Operation Pineapple Express and later Task Force Lahaina after devastating wildfires in Hawaii. A simple but crucial principle: build trust when risk is low, leverage it when risk is high. Unfortunately, our mechanistic, bottom-line focused world often treats relationship-building as superfluous when "time is money." But as many leaders discovered during the pandemic, transactional relationships collapse under pressure. In our disconnected world, thoughtful introductions are strategic assets that most leaders neglect. Whether in person or digital, proper introductions require preparation and intention. As Scott notes, "Amateurs get right to the bottom line. Professionals connect first, and then they move on." Living in Afghan villages taught Scott that context is everything. Working directly with locals, his team discovered young men were killing earthworms, believing they harmed crops. Only by kneeling beside them in fields did Scott's team understand their reality and demonstrate that worms benefit crops. The lesson: meet people where they are, not where we want them to be. Being an empathetic witness means leaving ivory towers and getting into the trenches - not for photo ops, but for genuine discovery. It's about bearing witness to people's burdens without judgment, striving to see the pictures in their heads and relate to their pain. When people sense genuine authenticity, their armor falls away, rewarding leaders with what they need most: context.

第8章

Storytelling: The Bridge Across Our Divides

After Scott's friend Romy Camargo, a Green Beret, was paralyzed by a bullet through his neck in Afghanistan, Romy and his wife Gaby envisioned creating a spinal cord injury recovery center in Tampa. Despite having no funding, they rented a dilapidated space in an industrial park. When Toyota executive Simon Nagata visited, Gaby transformed the rundown facility through storytelling - pointing to empty spaces and describing what would be there. Though Nagata remained stone-faced, a single tear revealed he was moved. Three weeks later, Toyota donated $250,000, making their vision reality. Humans are fundamentally story animals with brains wired to process narratives. Our metaphorical, pattern-matching brains have made meaning through stories for tens of thousands of years. While our right brain understands narrative, our left brain rejects it, preferring data and contextless summaries. Despite living in a world of bullet points and soundbites, our ancient thirst for storytelling remains unquenched. Many leaders dismiss storytelling as frivolous "bedtime stories" when facing serious business challenges. When confronted by a skeptical tech executive, Mann explained that stories aren't mere entertainment but how humans understand each other, with tangible ROI. Stories provide meaning, context, emotional connection, and lodge in long-term memory. People commonly resist storytelling with three objections: "Nobody wants to hear my story," "I don't have a story," and "My story isn't as good as her story." These are forms of what Steven Pressfield calls "Resistance" - self-sabotaging internal voices. The truth is people are relieved when told a story, everyone has thousands of stories from their life experiences, and storytelling isn't a competition. Storytelling creates narrative transportation - the transfer of imagery from one human to another. When storytellers share sensory details like smells or feelings, listeners slip into a parasympathetic trance state and experience the story as if it were their own. This ability to both create and receive this trance is in our DNA. In our divisive, polarized times, the exhausted majority navigates the Churn using old neuro-story maps from painful experiences, leading to disconnection and hopelessness. But storytelling generates hope - not about our differences but about what we share in common. Effective communicators need several story types: Backstory (who you are in under eight minutes), Organizational story (your collective purpose), Not-your-success story (showcasing others' journeys), Introduction story (telling someone else's story better than they can), Recognition story (honoring others), and Vision story (what you're building and how others can help). The Hero's Journey framework underlies many great stories from Odysseus to Katniss Everdeen. This universal structure follows a logical pattern humans are hardwired to understand: the hero hears a call, refuses it, meets a guide, reluctantly answers the call, leaves the ordinary world, faces struggles in "the belly of the whale," emerges from struggle, and returns home with a gift for the people. Stories are built around pivotal moments - those life-changing instances that altered your trajectory. These moments should be cataloged, journaled, and kept close as they form a timeless archive that will serve you throughout life. Storytelling is fundamentally a physical act. Indigenous storytellers commit their entire bodies to the effort, creating a trance-like state in listeners. Human engagement is 60 percent physical, 30 percent vocal tone, and only 10 percent verbal. Effective storytellers treat their bodies as instruments that must be cleared of tension, breathing with intention and accessing emotional reserves without hesitation.

Struggle: The Universal Connection Point

Scott Mann defines scars as "an emotionally charged and often secret mark buried in the soul, earned through trauma and struggle, that has the potential to form connective tissue with the outside world." He reveals his own struggle with survivor's guilt over fallen comrades, some who died following his orders. Working with a story coach forced Mann to speak the names of his lost friends, resulting in cathartic sobbing that ultimately freed him from shame. Years later, Mann finally told his wife about his near-suicide attempt before sharing it in a TED Talk that reached over a million viewers. This vulnerability helped others realize they weren't alone in their struggles. We are all a community of sufferers. As Daniel Coyle explains, struggle occurs when the brain builds new neural pathways to overcome challenges - it's not something that happens to just a few of us, but a biological necessity for everyone. Leaders who integrate their struggles into their stories become immediately relatable and accelerate trust. When a CEO admits to her career struggles, junior associates think, "Maybe I can do this too." Sharing our scars isn't easy - Mann admits wanting to sprint from rooms before keynotes or throw up before performances. But the discomfort is worth it for those we serve. He's witnessed people who've endured terrible tragedies repurpose their struggles into stories that help others: a mother who lost her husband and daughter in a freak plane accident becoming an organ donor advocate, a widow fundraising after losing her firefighter husband to a stroke. Many leaders avoid revealing struggle, fearing it shows weakness. But without struggle, there's no story. The definition of story itself requires it: "a detailed, character-based narration of a character's struggles to overcome obstacles and reach an important goal." In our low-trust world, leaving struggle out of your narrative makes you seem inauthentic. The exhausted majority craves leaders whose stories are built on struggle. It bridges gaps of race, religion, and politics while accelerating trust. During Village Stability Operations in Afghanistan, Mann needed to connect with skeptical villagers before asking them to fight alongside American forces. He focused on a universal singular: low-tech farming. Having grown up on a tobacco farm, Mann shared his father's saying that "Growing tobacco is the only form of farming where you slowly starve to death as you do it." The Afghan elders, relying on subsistence farming after years of drought, laughed in recognition. They connected through the universal singular of struggle within farming. When you authentically share your struggles, people's armor falls away and they open up. This decisive moment is when people choose you, the storyteller, long before they choose your message. In our low-trust times, people won't buy into an idea before connecting with the human delivering it. Psychologist Carl Rogers observed that "What's most personal is most universal" - a concept that contradicts our mechanistic world where we're conditioned not to make things personal. Yet our human nature, built on millennia of storytelling, confirms that what matters deeply to you will matter to your audience. To discover your scar story, find a quiet place where you feel grounded. With pen and paper, write your story without editing for ten minutes. Include sensory details, describe the "ball of chaos" that disrupted everything, detail your struggles, mention any guides who helped you through, and describe the resolution - what did you learn about yourself, the world, others, love, hate, forgiveness? Some stories need time before they're ready to be shared. Don't share something that's unresolved or still white-hot in your brain. A story can't effectively serve others until there's resolution. When properly processed, these often become the most powerful stories in your narrative arsenal.

The Rise of the Exhausted Majority: Finding Hope in Connection

It wasn't Operation Pineapple Express that showed Scott Mann we can accomplish significant things when nobody is coming - that realization came afterward. Following a successful sixteen-city tour in 2019, his play "Last Out" was released as a movie on Amazon Prime just three months after the Taliban took Kabul. Thousands of veterans struggling with the moral injury of Afghanistan's collapse watched the film and thanked him for validating their sacrifice. What began as a seemingly crazy idea to use storytelling to inform Americans about war's cost while helping veterans heal had grown into a multimillion-dollar nonprofit project touching thousands of lives. Abundance isn't an entitlement - it must be earned and protected through responsible leadership that transcends divisionism and shadow tribalism. Social scientists like Jonathan Haidt and Robert Putnam remind us that America offers unique opportunities for community if we can establish trust. We've been here before - Putnam describes America in the early 1900s facing similar challenges: severe wealth gaps, political enemies, urban population surges while rural areas declined, and polarized politicians predicting America's demise. Yet beneath that surface, things were getting MESSSy. Two alcoholics in Akron started Alcoholics Anonymous, which has since helped millions worldwide. The early 20th century saw an explosion of civic organizations: the Junior League, NAACP, Rotary Club, and countless others emerged between 1900-1970. Then things started falling apart again after Watergate. But Putnam believes we're on the cusp of another grassroots upswing - and so does Mann. Bottom-up leadership is essential, but we still need functioning institutions. The divisionists currently in power need to be voted out and replaced with leaders from the Rooftop. History shows this works - during the early 1900s upswing, Teddy Roosevelt responded to grassroots movements by enacting nation-changing reforms. Bottom-up initiatives can show top-down leaders how to lead - it's how America has always worked. According to research by More in Common, only 33 percent of Americans form the extreme left and right wings of political opinion. The remaining two-thirds - a democratic supermajority - comprise what they call "the exhausted majority." These Americans aren't necessarily centrists with middle-ground positions. Their views on contentious issues are as diverse as their backgrounds. What unites them is being fed up with polarization, feeling overlooked in public discourse, maintaining flexibility in their views, avoiding ideological rigidity, and believing in common ground. Currently, the divisionists dominate the conversation while the exhausted majority checks out from political exhaustion. But this is changing - thousands of movements are working to improve civil society, expand human connection, and deepen social capital. As Jonathan Haidt says, "We cannot expect Congress and the tech companies to save us. We must change ourselves and our communities." Nobody is coming to save us - and that's fine. The power to create change lies within ourselves and our ability to connect authentically with others. By understanding our human nature, finding meaning in our lives, managing our emotions, building social connections, sharing our stories, and embracing our struggles, we can rise above the Churn and lead from the Rooftop. The exhausted majority is finding its voice, and when it does, it will drown out the divisionists, suppress the Churn, and lead us all into better days.

著者について

スコット・マン（Scott Mann）は、アメリカ陸軍グリーンベレーの元中佐であり、戦場で培われた戦略と企業の知恵を融合させたリーダーシップ・ガイド『Nobody Is Coming to Save You』の著者として『ニューヨーク・タイムズ』紙のベストセラーリストに名を連ねています。23年にわたり特殊作戦に従事したベテランであるマンは、「オペレーション・パインアップル・エクスプレス（Operation Pineapple Express）」を創設し、カブール崩壊の際に1,000人以上の元アフガン同盟者を避難させました。この経験は、本書のテーマである回復力（レジリエンス）、分散型リーダーシップ、そして使命主導の問題解決に直接的な影響を与えています。

前作の『Operation Pineapple Express』ではこの現実の救出作戦を詳述しており、脚本を手掛けた演劇『Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret』（Amazon Primeで配信中）では、退役軍人の心理的な葛藤を探求しています。

Fox NewsやCNNのコメンテーターとしても頻繁に活動するマンは、自身のトレーニング会社「MannUp」や非営利団体「The Stability Institute」を通じて、軍のリーダーシップ原則を経営戦略へと変換しています。彼のTEDxでの講演や「ルーフトップ・リーダーシップ（Rooftop Leadership）」の枠組みは、分断された環境において組織が信頼を再構築するのを支援しています。『Nobody Is Coming to Save You』は、2018年のリーダーシップ宣言書『Game Changers』の概念を拡張したものであり、戦地で磨かれた信頼関係構築の戦術を、実行可能なビジネスツールへと変える彼の評価を確固たるものにしました。本書のオペレーショナル・プレイブックは、フォーチュン500企業や士官学校などで導入されています。
