Jocko Willink

Leadership Strategy and Tactics: Field Manual by Jocko Willink is the essential and practical guide to leadership and how to excel at it, from the co-author of the number one New York Times bestseller Extreme Ownership. Leadership is the most challenging of human endeavours. It is often misunderstood. It can bewilder, mystify and frustrate even the most dedicated practitioners. Leaders at all levels are often forced to use theoretical guesswork to make decisions and lead their troops. It doesn’t have to be that way. There are principles that can be applied and tenets that can be followed. There are skills that can be learned and manoeuvres that can be practised and executed. There are leadership strategies and tactics that have been tested and proven on the battlefield, in business and in life. Retired Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink delivers his powerful and pragmatic leadership methodology that teaches how to lead any team in any situation to victory. Here, you will learn how to: *Deal with egos and the problems they cause *Earn and build trust with both your subordinates and superiors *Instil pride in your team, without creating arrogance *Overcome challenges presented by a micromanaging, indecisive or weak boss *Create a disciplined team that regulates itself *Use leadership as a tool to teach, mentor, train and correct behaviour of team members *Operate at a maximum level of efficiency – and reap the rewards . . . and more. This book is step one towards becoming the commander of your own life. The rest is up to you.

Based on his podcast I've been reading through some of his books - an interesting mix of scenarios from the battle field, lessons learnt and how they apply to the corporate environment. 
The advice is less macho than I'd expected, but as another reviewer pointed out it is advice that men have the luxury of being able to follow as they have so much implicit power and authority already.

It is a practical handbook on how to manage and lead withing an organization, particularly helpful for large organizations. 

The audiobook is narrated by the author, who used to be in the Navy SEALS. I must admit his military style of speaking can be intense for those of us that don't gravitate naturally towards the more assertive, testosterone filled talking style. But, that aside the book is very practical and covers a lot of good ground, with good anecdotes that apply in any organization, not just in the military.

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 book 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.
