Media Reviews
One Mission sets out the most exciting prospect for re-engineering a twenty-first-century company. For me, this was not a book for bedside reading. I read it upright, taking notes, inspired with thoughts for my own enterprise. Assuming I have the discipline to follow through, these few hours of reading will prove the highest ROI on mytime in a dozen years.
--DAVID G. BRADLEY, chairman of Atlantic Media

One Mission is required reading for anyone leading people. Fussell's vivid account of how a team of teams model turned the tide on the battlefield is both inspiring and instructional in helping leaders to navigate the transition from twentieth-century bureaucracy to twenty-first-century complexity.
--DOUG MCMILLON, president and CEO of Walmart

Leaders from all sectors will recognize themselves and their organizations in the pages of One Mission. Fussell is an engaging writer, weaving together stories of his military past with tales of the many businesses that he was worked with. The result is a valuable, practical manual of how to make the necessary changes to become a Team of Teams.
--ANNE-MARIE SLAUGHTER, president and CEO of New America, author of The Chessboard and the Web

Chris Fussell is one of the most dynamic thinkers of our day. His ideas and his perspectives have challenged many of my own assumptions and pushed me to think bigger. I'm smarter because of Chris Fussell. Read this book!
--SIMON SINEK, optimist and author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last

Whether you are the CEO of a company, the head of a government agency, or the leader of a nonprofit, this book should be the next one you read.
--MICH LE FLOURNOY, CEO of the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) and former under secretary of defense for policy

Businesses that operate using the old command-and-control model struggle to navigate the complex problems of the twenty-first century. With One Mission, organizations have the vocabulary and toolset they need to switch to a Team of Teams model and excel in the information age.
--DHIRAJ RAJARAM, founder and chairman of Mu Sigma Inc.
