You Don’t Know Sh*t About Leadership: The Book That Will Change How You Lead—Forever
Leadership books are a dime a dozen. Most are filled with corporate clichés, outdated theories, and feel-good fluff that crumbles in the real world. They promise transformation but deliver nothing but recycled buzzwords.

This is not that book.

G. Damon Wells, a career Army officer with 30 years of military service, has led at every level—from small teams under fire to strategic operations on the global stage. You Don’t Know Sh*t About Leadership rips apart the myths that have held leaders back for decades and rebuilds leadership from the ground up. Combining science, psychology, and battlefield-tested wisdom, this book exposes why most leadership advice is dead wrong—and what actually works.

Why This Book Stands Apart

• It’s brutally honest. If you want sugar-coated platitudes, look elsewhere. Wells calls out the real reasons leaders fail—ego, incompetence, and blind faith in outdated models.
• It’s rooted in science. Backed by cognitive science, evolutionary psychology, and complexity theory, this book explains the hidden forces that drive leadership success—or failure.
• It’s practical. No vague theories. No academic jargon. Just real-world strategies leaders can implement immediately to fix broken teams, navigate chaos, and lead under pressure.
• It’s a wake-up call. If you’re in a leadership position (or want to be), this book will force you to rethink everything you thought you knew about influence, decision-making, and power.

• Why 82% of leaders are picked for the wrong reasons—and how to avoid becoming one of them.
• The science of leadership failure—and how to rewire your brain for better decision-making.
• How to build a high-performance team in any environment—even when morale is low and stress is high.
• The truth about “charisma” (Hint: It’s overrated, and it often hides incompetence).
• How to survive and thrive in organizations designed to produce bad leaders.
• The Ballistic Leadership Framework—a battle-tested, scientifically grounded approach to leadership that actually works.

• CEOs, executives, and managers tired of leadership fluff and ready for real solutions.
• Military leaders and veterans who want to translate battlefield leadership into the corporate world.
• Entrepreneurs and business owners who need to build strong teams and scale their vision.
• Anyone who’s sick of watching bad leaders wreck good organizations.
