Leadership Strategy and Tactics: Field Manual by Jocko Willink is one of the most popular releases in the series. The author’s successful military career and experience reflected in the “field manual” are especially valuable in Ukraine. 

Jocko Willink’s advice concerning the traps of total control and micromanagement is a good remedy against widely spread biases associated with leadership. The author is demystifying leadership by stressing out the leadership challenges and responsibilities. In particular, he writes about striking a balance between punishment and praise, developing trust with subordinates and superiors, delivering criticism, and finding the best way to do so. 

The author also helps navigate the complexity and responsibility of the leadership. He provides very down-to-earth and direct advice on how to become a good leader.
