Critics Review
Minute Six captures the very essence of what it means to operate at the edge of chaos and create order from uncertainty. For anyone seeking to understand how high-performance teams truly navigate uncertainty – whether in space, healthcare, or any complex system – this book is an invaluable guide and a powerful testament to the human spirit – Tim PeakeKevin Fong understands something every soldier eventually learns: plans are temporary, uncertainty is permanent, and survival depends on the quality of the team beside you. Minute Six is one of the clearest and most human examinations I’ve read of how people and organizations adapt under pressure when the stakes are highest. This book belongs on the shelf of every leader responsible for others in uncertain environments – General Stanley McChrystal
