About this listen

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.

transformational

I loved this book! I enjoy his style of teaching. There were many places in this book where I could envision scenarios in my own life, followed by ways to grow past the negative scenarios and reinforcement to continue growing the positive ones. This book has and will continue to create positive growth in all aspects of my life.

Best leadership book I have read

The audiobook was so good and the messages resonated so strongly that I bought 8 copies of the hardcover too. One for me, one for my boss, one for the office library and one each for my 5 engineering capability leads.

excellent in alla spects

this is the first leadership book I've read/listened to that based its self in reality. Not that everybody's reality is being a navy seal but Willink recognizes that just having a cheery attitude will fix every situation. Throughout the book, Willink discussed multiple strategies to solve problems and I especially liked the tough love at the end, yes you will have to apologize, "yes you have to behave correctly, no this is not about you".
excellt job, thank you.

Excellent handbook w examples

The book is comprehensive and covers multiple facets of leadership. I think the overall take away is to respect all (both ways), dignity, humility. trust and hard work. Leadership is about a team effort, not an individual, it's about sucking up your ego for the greater good of the team or the goal.
