Leadership is the most challenging of human endeavors. 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 maneuvers that can be practiced and executed. There are leadership strategies and tactics that have been tested and proven on the battlefield, in business, and in life.

Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go.

The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new audiobook, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Extremely Refreshing
There was a time when a handshake was enough to seal a deal. A time when honour, discipline, and acts of burying the ego were normative behaviours. A time when doing the right thing was not about garnering attention, but upholding a standard. There was a time when the norms of business and social behaviour were dominated by individuals that learned self-discipline and leadership through military service. That influence is less present in our modern world, but the standards they endeared are no less valuable.
Jocko Willink’s book engenders those standards and beyond. For most that have served time in military service, the standards of discipline and principled leadership are learned through an implicit process, being part of the system. Implicit learning is important because it teaches instinct and habit, but it does not always provide a clear framework. Implicit learning follows a convergent path, gradually shaping an individual’s behaviours through experience. The problem with implicit learning is that without a clear standard, a clear goal, the learning process can be long, and some lessons may never be learned. Jocko’s book bridges that gap by providing a clear framework, a goal, a standard of leadership that is worthy of aspiration.
This is not a book about becoming a great leader in the manner of Napoleon or Alexander, it is a book that exemplifies the standards for professional leadership. Leadership that is built on strength, self-control, and sensitivity to the needs and mannerisms of real people. A guidebook that completes the cognitive map of what a leader should be.
For those actively involved in military service Jocko’s book offers a perfect compliment to their implicit learning path, a clear framework that enables a path to deliberate, conscious learning. For those in the business world, it defines a goal to which leaders may strive while plotting their own experiential path. For me it was revelatory in that it defined many leadership principles that I previously sensed, but could not elucidate. It was also a refreshing affirmation, that in a world where narcissistic tendencies have become more prevalent, there is still value in those old standards of self-control.

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.

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.

wrong category
I am not sure how this book was in business category, I tried my best to finish the book but it got nothing to with leadership in normal life, it might be a great book for army leadership, but absolutely waist of time if you are looking for leadership in society,
All the advices are one sided, I mean there is no clients, or other parties to be considered, in real business life your team members are continually being approached by other companies or you have to always consider customers needs. As I said his advice may work for Army because less likely enemy will recruit a solder, neither there is a customer to complain, also the staffs most likely will stay regardless of how you treat them. I thinks I waisted few hours of my time.

Liked it so much I'm driving to NY to see him chat
JOCKO - if I had you as a mentor (writing, podcasts, the 'gram, etc.) growing up, I'd be a different person today as an adult. I've read (and re-read) every book you and Leif have put out, and those you drafted on your own. My six-year-old is about as big a Mikey fan as you could imagine. I have achieved a lot in my life, but a few years ago I got comfortable. I have served my country, but I stopped serving, and stopped hard, I did. I am now back on track, better than ever, and I take your words seriously and have implemented much into my daily routing including beating you to rise at 4:30 - a game I like to play.
"Leadership Strategy and Tactics" didn't disappoint. I read half last night when I got home from work (thanks for the prompt shipping, Amazon!) and finished the rest after buying the Audible this morning during my commute and first few hours in the office. About to listen again and take notes. Thank you, sincerely, for making me a better husband, father, worker, owner of a company and servant of others.
Semper Fidelis,
Bretton

Not what I expected...
Couldn't make it past the first chapter... The author attempts to connect leadership in life and business to leadership in the Navy Seals. This is an absurd notion for many reasons and his gung ho, military style of narration just made it even more ridiculous. The military has a singular goal and individual needs are dismissed. That is not how life is for anyone outside the military and I wouldn't work for anyone who runs a business in such a manner.

Extreme usefulness!
Thanks Jocko! This book distills your thoughts and experience in a useful format. I know this book will help me because I have already put some of your teaching into practice. Just finished the Audible version and have the Kindle version for reference.
Every leader needs this book and almost everyone is a leader. You could also use it for a parenting manual.

Very redundant but a decent read
This is a decent book, but honestly it could be only half a long as it is and it would still be the same message. There are really only three themes: 1) check your ego 2) let subordinates plan things so they feel a sense of ownership and 3) be humble. That’s literally it.
Jocko repeats these same three points over and over again by just rephrasing or repackaging the same stories in each chapter. Personally I feel like most of the lessons he discusses are common sense for any leader which left me wanting something deeper than hearing, “check your ego” 5000 times.
Overall it’s a decent book and I don’t regret reading/listening to it. If you’ve never been in a leadership role before it’s definitely worth the time, but if you’ve been a supervisor or manager in the past it may leave you wanting something deeper.
NOW CHECK YOUR EGO!!!!

Awesome info
It was a great listen. But having listened to the podcast extreme ownership and dichotomy of extreme over ship multiple times, it was a lot of the same information. It drives it home and revamped a lot of the knowledge I missed or didn't remember in the other books

Outstanding
Jocko has a way of inspiring anyone who listens to be a better leader and a better person. These tactics and strategies are an extremely concise version of the principles discussed in Extreme Ownership and Jocko's other books, as well as the podcast which is also. OUTSTANDING.

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
