I discovered Jocko Willink's Podcast earlier this year. I was entranced. So entranced that I actually acquired this book. Its the type which future leaders will keep under their pillows before sleeping.
This book was a gift from my boss and I initially didn’t think I’d be able to get through it. There was so much good information in it. I recently started the task of training new 911 dispatchers and this book gave so much good advice! Highly recommend!
The strategies and advice in this book is excellent! Unfortunately it was too dry and dragged out for me to truly enjoy the book.
informative
I read this book immediately on the heels of Jocko Willink and Leif Babin's "Extreme Ownership," which was an excellent move. As the title suggests, this volume provides detailed guidance, strategies, and tactics for exercising leadership and taking extreme ownership of your situation.
While I did read the book cover to cover, it is truly designed to be a topical reference manual. I will be returning to this book again and again, I'm sure, to remind myself of the options for handling situations as they arise. The book wisely provides leadership guidance for a variety of relationships up and down the chain of command; leader to subordinate, peer to peer, and subordinate to leader. There is useful guidance here for everyone at any stage of their career. Highly recommended.

We are reading this as a supervisor team at work. I got a lot out of this and am happy that all of us on our team will be working from the common ground we find in reading this together.
I really like the way Jocko in every book explains always both extremes to every case, neither of the extreme being good. So You should always aim for the golden middle ground with every principle.
Clear and concise ideas. Lots of work and things to reflect on. A solid book, not for be addressed one time only but to used it as a reference, a real Field Manual
inspiring
medium-paced
All kinds of wisdom, shared with great examples from both the military and business worlds. I listen to Jocko's podcast so there weren't too many "ah ha" moments, but that doesn't take away from hearing many key concepts again. Excellent leadership techniques.
