Summary

The instant number one international best seller. 

Manual by Jocko Willink is the essential and practical guide to leadership and how to excel at it, from the coauthor of the number one New York Times best seller Extreme Ownership.

In the military, a field manual provides instructions in simple, clear, step-by-step language to help soldiers complete their mission. In the civilian sector, books offer information on everything from fixing a leaky tap to developing an effective workout programme to cooking a good steak.

But what if you are promoted into a new position leading your former peers? What if you don’t get selected for the leadership position you wanted? How do you overcome impostor syndrome when you aren’t sure you should be leading? As a leader, how do you judiciously dole out punishment? What about reward? How do you build trust with both your superiors and your subordinates? How do you deliver truthful criticism up and down the chain of command in a tactful and positive way?

These are all questions about leadership - the most complex of all human endeavours. Leadership Strategy and Tactics: Field Manual is here to help you navigate your way through the difficulties of leadership by providing a direct, situational, pragmatic how-to guide that anyone can instantly put to use.

This book is a rapid reference manual that explains how to take leadership theory, quickly translate that theory into applicable strategy, and then put leadership into action at a tactical level. This book is the solution that leaders at every level need - not just to understand the leadership game but also to learn how to play the leadership game - and win it.

Great book, lots learned.

Although this book repeated its values multiple times, I feel that it was nessacary in order to convey the message it was trying to deliver. Great book, when listening, I kept thinking about old bosses I've had who could have really benefited form this book.

Seal team strategies for employees

Seal team strategies for employees. too much emphasis on "missions" though and would prefer business terms if it's a business book

Great, but

The parts about leaders are great, however a large number of parts about being subordinate are a litte bit disconnected from the reality. I would like to hear something about what many bosses do: BOILING FROG. Perhaps in thexnext book.
As always great reading performance by the author himself.

A must for any leader.

The experiences, reflections and guidelines within this book, quite brilliantly narrated, offer strong points for any leader - or aspiring leader - to strengthen their skill. It also, in my opinion, offers advice on how to be a better colleague, and indeed a better person altogether.
I've put this book's teachings to use as a person, a civilian manager and a military leader, and can certainly attest to the effects.
My warmest and sincerest recommendations.

Good To GO!

Anyone who listens to the podcast or who has bought any of Jocko's books will know what to expect. For everyone else, welcome! Great content that is easy to apply. A lot of leadership books waffle and refer to this study or that study, not this book. Lessons that have been tried and tested which are presented so anyone can understand. Like one of JW's lessons states "makes sure they understand what they are doing and why they are doing it" that's what this book will give you in regards to leadership in all parts of life.
