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.

Good book

good book but sadly not what I was expecting. More about Military than everyday life.

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.

Lessons on leadership and life.

The best leadership strategy out there. The simplistic and honest way Jocko delivers his message is something anyone can understand and get behind. He reviews things from all perspectives and offers realistic tactical advice on how to effectively lead. The lessons in this book go beyond those required for leadership; It's a handbook for life.

Honestly outstanding book on leadership

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.

Very military focused

There are some great tips in this audio. Worth a listen. However, the military focus really started to grind on me. Everything’s a mission!
