Publisher's summary

The instant #1 international bestseller, 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 former US Navy SEAL and 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.

Critic reviews

Until this point in my life, I’ve never read a book that reveals the truths of leadership in such detail and rawness. The true value of this book cannot be quantified in words (Pete Roberts, co-founder and CEO of Origin Maine USA, on The Dichotomy of Leadership)
The Dichotomy of Leadership needs to come with a warning label: BRUTALLY HONEST. Finally, a book that tells the truth on how hard and complex it can be to tackle leadership challenges (Lindi Horton, Director of Cloud Services, Cyber Security Company)
Inspiring, practical and honest lessons that transcend the battlefield. Buy this book, read it and apply the lessons to any challenge (Sarah Armstrong, CFO of Mesa Technical Associates, on The Dichotomy of Leadership)
The Dichotomy of Leadership provides even more depth and dimension to the principles of Extreme Ownership (Sonja Winkler, Senior Director of Operations, Nashville Symphony)

Great for network marketing professionals as well

It was definitely one of my favorite books ever! Very very practical, total applicable tips. I was a manager in the corporate world as well as a network marketing professional. It makes total sense in both position. I could remember several episodes when I misbehave and also acted the right way. I enjoyed the book so much that I wish it was longer than it is.

nr1 book on leadership

if i were to give someone just 1 book to give them the knowledge and prerequisites to become a good leader this is it. The performance in this audiobook is of course flawless. Because, the author and reader makes a living teaching leadership and speaking on a podcast.If you have this book then all you need to do is read it, understand it, and practice it. Im positive.

The most helpful book workwise ever

I find it the most actionable of Jocko's library.
It is really specific, short chapters to the point and dedicated each to 1 specific topic.
It helps leaders and sub-ordinates alike because Jocko is specialist in addressing the situation from both points of view.
Unlike many other books, I find this most useful because the author understands the need of keeping a balance. He gets himself into deep water and at the same time helps the listener understand when it is better to err on 1 side and when on the other.
