Every leader must be ready and willing to take charge, to make hard, crucial calls for the good of the team and the mission. Something much more difficult to understand is that in order to be a good leader, one must also be a good follower. This is a dichotomy - a Dichotomy of Leadership. It is, as authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin explained in their best-selling first audiobook, Extreme Ownership, “Simple, Not Easy”.

Some people bounce back in response to setbacks; others break. We often think that these responses are hardwired, but fortunately this is not the case. Stoicism offers us an alternative approach. Plumbing the wisdom of one of the most popular and successful schools of thought from ancient Rome, philosopher William B. Irvine teaches us to turn any challenge on its head. The Stoic Challenge, then, is the ultimate guide to improving your quality of life through tactics developed by ancient Stoics, from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca to Epictetus.

Not quite what I was hoping for
- By Liz on 17-05-20
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.

Some excellent content but I struggled with the narration.
There some great tips in the book, maybe a lot of it nothing new but it does make you think a little more about how a leaders actions have so much impact on the rest of the team.
However, I found the narration really put me off. I know it’s written by an US Navy Seal but the person reading it sounds like he’s straight out of an action movie, cheesy.

I've been in senior leadership roles for 20+ years and I found I had a great deal to learn from this book. Simple, honest, clear and rooted in experience, I started using some of these techniques while reading and was amazed to get almost instant feedback from my direct reports about how positive and effective they were. Whether established or starting out, leadership is a craft and this book will help you be better at it.

Nothing you don't know
I was excited starting this, thinking it would have some clever insights but it's really nothing you don't already know. Maybe if you are very very young and have really never seen any exams of leadership you might find some interesting points.
