Publisher’s Summary
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.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Jocko delivers again”
I got the chance to here Jocko speak in Hawaii this year, and whether he is speaking, writing, or narrating, he delivers his message perfectly. His writer/narrator combo allows him to perfectly emphasize his points, and he has truly helped me shape my leadership style. A must read for any leader or future leader— matt, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Perfect for EVERY level of Leadership!”
While I’m nearing the end of my career, this book is still perfect! With that being said, I really wish I had this book at the very beginning of my career!What I found so wonderful about the book is how it helped validate things I’ve done for years, while also very succinctly reminded me of some of my own clear leadership past failures. These reminders are valuable because it can help us from repeating them! Of course it is also racked full of great leadership concepts I still get to deploy and for that I’m grateful.
I plan on recommending this book to all of my peers and command staff! I believe this book has the potential to take any agency’s leadership to the next level; and beyond!
Lastly, I’d be remiss if I didn’t encourage anyone reading this review to also do what I did. I started with the book Extreme Ownership and then read Dichotomy of Leadership. Combined, I believe these three books can help take any L.E. Agency or private business to the top of their potential.

5/5 stars — “My favorite Jocko book yet”
I’ve also read Extreme Ownership and The Dichotomy of Leadership. If you’re new to Jocko, I’d also read at least a few chapters from those before taking on this one, but it’s optional. This book’s lessons are similar, but feels more applicable to business (and life), in my opinion. While I appreciated the detailed battlefield stories in the other books, the more brief nature of the analogies in this book kept it more relatable, as a reader with zero military experience.— Jaime, Audible listener
