The Old Rules of Leadership Are Broken
Most leadership books tell you to take charge and command the room. But what if the most effective leaders do the opposite?
In Lead Last, Marine Corps officer and award-winning author Olaolu Ogunyemi reveals twenty-one counterintuitive principles that challenge conventional wisdom and drive real, measurable results. Drawing from over a decade of experience leading high-performing teams, he offers a refreshing blueprint rooted in servant leadership, emotional intelligence, and long-term vision.
You’ll learn how to build resilient teams, make bold decisions without sacrificing trust, and master the “Who’s Next?” principle for establishing a legacy of mentorship that ensures your leadership outlasts you.
Whether you’re a CEO, entrepreneur, educator, or emerging leader, this concise, actionable guide will encourage you to lead with influence, not just authority.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
