{"product_id":"ground-truth-mario-agnese-9798195748661","title":"Ground Truth: A Fighter's Doctrine for Leading Under Pressure","description":"The mat does not care about your title. Neither does this book.\u003cbr\u003eMiyamoto Musashi fought sixty-one duels and never lost one. Then he retired to a cave and wrote the most precise strategy manual in history. Ground Truth maps his arc onto yours - from fighter, to strategist, to the leader whose presence changes the room before they speak.\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a leadership book. It is a doctrine.\u003cbr\u003eThirty-five years on the mat. Thirty years in the boardroom. Mario Agnese has practiced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since the age of sixteen and spent three decades leading teams across Big Four accounting, global technology, energy, and pharmaceutical companies on four continents. Ground Truth is the system he built from both worlds.\u003cbr\u003eEach of the fourteen chapters follows the same structure: a real story from the mat - a choke survived, a tournament won under impossible conditions, a decision made in four seconds with no plan - followed by the strategic principle it reveals, a direct translation into corporate leadership, and a named, practical tool you can use the next morning. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNo abstract philosophy. No corporate jargon. No advice that has never been tested under actual pressure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCorporations are wild animals. This book does not tame them. It teaches you to read them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGround Truth is the companion volume to The Gentle Art of Leading, and stands fully on its own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mario Agnese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798195748661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Mario Agnese","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49174262284543,"sku":"9798195748661","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ground-truth-mario-agnese-9798195748661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
