DEFCON 1 direct selling : field manual for leaders / Randy Gage.

Includes index.

"Defcon 1 Leadership lets Randy Gage go into a serious, deep dive into the realities of leading an MLM team of more than 10,000 people. (He built a team of 200,000+ people, so he is uniquely qualified to write this book.) Most leadership books suggest that in every situation, there is an ideal solution that a brilliant leader will always discover. That's not the way it works in the real world. Sometimes you have to settle for a difficult, but workable temporary solution. And sometimes there is no solution. Your job as a leader is to be able to operate in chaotic situations, weathering the storm in the best possible way, until factors outside your control change and you're able to implement a true solution.
