Leadership Strategy and Tactics

Field Manual

By: Jocko Willink

Narrated by: Jocko Willink

This program is read by the author.

The ultimate guide on leadership from the number-one New York Times best-selling coauthor of 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 faucet to developing an effective workout program 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 imposter 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 your 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 endeavors. And while there are books out there that provide solid leadership principles, books like Extreme Ownership and The Dichotomy of Leadership, there is no leadership field manual that provides a direct, situational, pragmatic how-to guide that anyone can instantly put to use.

Until now. Leadership Strategy and Tactics explains how to take leadership theory, quickly translate that theory into applicable strategy, and then put leadership into action at a tactical level. This audiobook is the solution that leaders at every level need - not just to understand the leadership game but also how to play the leadership game and win it.

A must read for new leaders but also a refresher .

Do not want to do a review, it said it was optional but will not let me continue if I dont.

Best leadership book I’ve found

Straightforward, relatable, and articulate. Lessons are practical, derived from experience, specific, and immediately applicable. Jocko gives wisdom you will benefit from in your personal and professional life.

Great supplement to other 2 books.

Jocko has produced another great tool for new or experienced leaders. The book can stand alone, but is best used as a reference after reading Extreme Ownership and the Dichotomy of Leadership.

Great text on leadership!

This book should be required reading. I was a Scoutmaster for 7 years. Scouting is really a leadership course that uses camping and other activities as a tool to practice and build leadership skills. Every scout and scout leader should read this book! (I will be delivering multiple copies to my Troop!)

Another outstanding book from Jocko!!

Thank you again Jacko for another amazing guide on a very complex issue. Much Appreciated!!

Very useful leadership tactics

Great listen. Leadership strategy and tactics delivered in a simple and straightforward way.Was able to relate to most of the content and will definitely put these tactics to use.The audiobook is organized in a easily consumable format and easy to refer to a certain topic.

Great book.

I liked this better than Extreme Ownership. While it was good, this one is more relatable to me with more easily transferable examples.

discipline equals freedom

excellent book if applied properly and effectively you will have tremendous changes in your life and your work

Great Book!

This book does a great job laying out all the basics of leadership. Not only does it cover good topics but it dives into the “why” of each area. Great job, Jocko!

Don’t hesitate

10/10. Recommended for anyone in a leadership role. There’s definitely something for everyone I’m this book even if you’re the most seasoned leader/ manager, you will learn something from this book.
