Synopsis

This program is read by the author.

The ultimate guide on leadership from the #1 New York Times bestselling co-author 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.

Reviews

This author has a devoted podcast following, but I came to this not familiar with him or his work. This is a leadership/management book giving levelheaded advice largely based around “soft skills” like motivating people and building relationships. There’s definitely a place for that—when the “hey, b......more

Goodreads review by Rhett on January 21, 2020

This book is an easy to consume summary of lessons from Extreme Ownership and The Dichotomy of Leadership written as a manual meant to be revisited. I’ve found the tactics in those books useful professionally, and plan on buying a physical copy of this book to revisit and page through - the audioboo......more

Goodreads review by Adam on October 21, 2020

(audiobook) Hearing Jocko's voice always triggers something positive in me, I simply can't say "no" to his guidance. This book is a good, structured summary of what we've learned in Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win and The Dichotomy of Leadership: Balancing the Challenges of Extrem......more

Goodreads review by Sebastian on April 13, 2020

I've enjoyed 2 earlier books JW has created together with Leif Babin, so I've decided to reach for the 3rd one. Obviously, the style doesn't differ much - if you've liked EO & DoL, you'll like this much as well. What about the content? Does it differ much? Frankly, I wouldn't say JW has a lot of "ne......more

Goodreads review by Edgaras on February 10, 2024

4.5/5. Paprastai ir aiškiai dėstomi vadovavimo principai su gerai parinktais pavyzdžiais. Kai ką galima sužinoti ir apie karybos dėsnius. Dar patiko, jog nemažai dėmesio skiriama ir žmogiškiems vadovavimo aspektams - jausmams ir reakcijai į juos. Be to, gal tai ir vertėjo nuopelnas, bet knyga skaito......more
