Publisher's summary

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.

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!)

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.

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!
