Showing results by author "Jocko Willink" in Management & Leadership

An updated edition of the blockbuster best-selling leadership book that took America and the world by storm, two US Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life.

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. 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. 

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”.

Most people have not known the secrete to live a fulfilled and happy life. If you want to become a successful leader in your respective area, then you should brace yourself to deal with some tough circumstances and decision-making. When you are faced with any kind of setback or limitation, the key to changing this lies within you. It is not your reality or what you see that counts, but rather, it's your point of view of your reality. So, if you can control the way you see things, then you will have your breakthrough.

Un buon leader non cerca scuse: trova sempre un modo di fare le cose. Se non metti nulla in discussione, nulla migliorerà. L'esitazione è un nemico che fa perdere opportunità. L'ego annebbia e distrugge ogni cosa. Disciplina significa libertà: metti la sveglia e buttati giù dal letto appena suona. Non arrenderti. E soprattutto, mai, ma proprio mai, dire ma. Questa è la regola aurea per avere successo nella vita e nel lavoro: assumersi la responsabilità degli errori e non scaricare la colpa sugli altri o sulle circostanze.
