Jocko Willink guides readers through the lessons and leadership strategies he learned in his 20 years of active-duty service as a Navy SEAL Task Unit Commander. He began his career as a SEAL in 1990 at the bottom of the military hierarchy, but from day one, he was forced to learn how to take charge and lead his peers through the most dangerous military operations in the world. As a result of his work ethic, he rose quickly through the ranks and successfully led the most impactful special operations unit in Operation Iraqi Freedom through five tours in combat.
Leadership Strategy and Tactics: Field Manual is written, as the name suggests, like a field manual where Willink exemplifies each lesson or takeaway through first-person anecdotes from his military career.
