In this expanded edition of the 2017 mega-bestseller, updated with brand new sections like DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, SUGAR COATED LIES and DON''T NEGOTIATE WITH WEAKNESS, readers will discover new ways to become stronger, smarter, and healthier. Jocko Willink''s methods for success were born in the SEAL Teams, where he spent most of his adult life, enlisting after high school and rising through the ranks to become the commander of the most highly decorated special operations unit of the war in Iraq. In Discipline Equals Freedom, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Extreme Ownership describes how he lives that mantra: the mental and physical disciplines he imposes on himself in order to achieve freedom in all aspects of life. Many books offer advice on how to overcome obstacles and reach your goals--but that advice often misses the most critical ingredient: discipline. Without discipline, there will be no real progress. Discipline Equals Freedom covers it all, including strategies and tactics for conquering weakness, procrastination, and fear, and specific physical training presented in workouts for beginner, intermediate, and advanced athletes, and even the best sleep habits and food intake recommended to optimize performance. FIND YOUR WILL, FIND YOUR DISCIPLINE--AND YOU WILL FIND YOUR FREEDOM

Two highly decorated Navy SEALs, now successful businessmen, demonstrate how to lead and win in business and in life with principles learned on the battlefield, in a revised edition that includes a new foreword, photo insert and Q-and-A section.

THE INSTANT #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of Extreme Ownership comes a new and revolutionary approach to help leaders recognize and attain the leadership balance crucial to victory. With their first book, Extreme Ownership (published in October 2015), Jocko Willink and Leif Babin set a new standard for leadership, challenging readers to become better leaders, better followers, and better people, in both their professional and personal lives. Now, in THE DICHOTOMY OF LEADERSHIP, Jocko and Leif dive even deeper into the unchartered and complex waters of a concept first introduced in Extreme Ownership: finding balance between the opposing forces that pull every leader in different directions. Here, Willink and Babin get granular into the nuances that every successful leader must navigate. Mastering the Dichotomy of Leadership requires understanding when to lead and when to follow; when to aggressively maneuver and when to pause and let things develop; when to detach and let the team run and when to dive into the details and micromanage. In addition, every leader must: · Take Extreme Ownership of everything that impacts their mission, yet utilize Decentralize Command by giving ownership to their team. · Care deeply about their people and their individual success and livelihoods, yet look out for the good of the overall team and above all accomplish the strategic mission. · Exhibit the most important quality in a leader—humility, but also be willing to speak up and push back against questionable decisions that could hurt the team and the mission. With examples from the authors’ combat and training experiences in the SEAL teams, and then a demonstration of how each lesson applies to the business world, Willink and Babin clearly explain THE DICHOTOMY OF LEADERSHIP—skills that are mission-critical for any leader and any team to achieve their ultimate goal: VICTORY.

#1 New York Times Bestseller #1 USA Today bestseller The ultimate guide on leadership from the 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 book 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.

O emir da Al-Qaeda andava a monte há meses. Quando finalmente o localizaram, os SEALs atacaram de surpresa. Em pleno assalto, Leif Babin viu um dos terroristas a escapar-se. Começou a persegui‑lo e de repente viu-se sozinho, longe do pelotão, cercado por guerrilheiros. “As palavras do comandante da unidade, Jocko Willink, ecoaram na minha cabeça: ‘Relaxa. Olha em volta. Toma uma decisão’.” Leif Babin tomou a decisão certa e conseguiu escapar ileso. Já nos EUA, ele e Jocko Willink fundaram a Echelon Front – uma consultora que transpôs, com enorme sucesso, os princípios de liderança dos Navy SEALs para o contexto empresarial. Os dois oficiais tinham-se destacado ao comando da SEAL Três, a unidade de elite mais condecorada da Guerra do Iraque, que cumprira a “missão impossível” de vencer a Batalha de Ramadi. E perceberam que as lições aprendidas num dos mais violentos cenários de guerra podiam ser postas em prática em qualquer empresa ou organização. O trabalho que desenvolveram como consultores “civis” foi entretanto condensado neste livro. Cada capítulo apresenta um exemplo prático vivido no campo de batalha, a explicação do princípio de liderança usado e como aplicar esse princípio ao universo empresarial. Se há algo que explica o extraordinário sucesso deste livro é o conceito que lhe dá o título: Responsabilização Total - estar à altura das responsabilidades.

Hilfreiches Marschgepäck für alle Führungskräfte Amerikas berühmtester Navy-SEAL-Businesscoach Jocko Willink kennt die effektivsten Führungsprinzipien der Eliteeinheit. Seine Bücher schufen ganz neue Standards für Leadership-Qualitäten. Doch die praktische Anwendung dieser Prinzipien ist oft anspruchsvoller, als es zunächst den Anschein hat. Was ist beispielsweise, wenn man für eine Führungsposition ausgewählt wird, die man nicht will? Wie baut man Vertrauen auf und übt Kritik in der Befehlskette nach oben und nach unten? Willinks praktisches Handbuch hilft dabei, die Grundsätze der Navy SEALs täglich in die Praxis zu übertragen und Taktik in die Tat umzusetzen – das heißt, die Strategie der Navy SEALs zu verstehen und auf pragmatische Weise anzuwenden. Dazu liefert er eine einfache, klar strukturierte Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung, um Führungskräften dabei zu helfen, das zu tun, was sie tun sollen: führen.

In ‘Extreem eigenaarschap’ vertalen Jocko Willink en Leif Babin de krachtige leiderschapslessen van het slagveld naar heldere principes die toegepast kunnen worden in ieder team en elke organisatie. Toen de Navy SEAL-taskforce van Willink en Leif in 2006 in Irak voor een mission impossible stond: Ramadi veiligstellen, een stad die al min of meer als verloren wordt beschouwd, wisten Willink en Babin onder extreme druk hun team naar de overwinning te leiden. De overwinning is grotendeels te danken aan een teamcultuur van eigenaarschap en discipline. Leiderschap, op ieder niveau, blijkt de doorslaggevende factor voor het succes van het team. In ‘Extreem eigenaarschap’ delen ze niet alleen hun eigen oorlogservaringen, maar ook praktijkverhalen van de bedrijven die ze na hun militaire loopbaan zijn gaan coachen. Met dit meeslepende boek, waarvan wereldwijd al bijna twee miljoen exemplaren verkocht werden, kun je direct aan de slag met de principes van extreem eigenaarschap.

Mit Verantwortung zu mehr Erfolg Die Seal-Offiziere Jocko Willink und Leif Babin führten verschiedene Special-Forces-Einheiten erfolgreich durch die blutigen Wirren des Irakkriegs. Um diese ultimativen Stresssituationen zu überstehen, entwickelten sie eine ganz spezielle Kultur der Disziplin und Verantwortung, die sie für die nächste Generation der Seal-Führungsebene zusammengefasst haben. In ihrem Buch erläutern die beiden Elitesoldaten, wie sie ihre Einheiten durch schwierigste Kriegseinsätze führen konnten und demonstrieren, wie ihre effektiven Führungsprinzipien vom Schlachtfeld optimal in das unternehmerische Umfeld, auf Teams und auf den Alltag übertragen werden können. Ihr Erfolgsgeheimnis: Verantwortung für die eigenen Fehler übernehmen, aus den Misserfolgen lernen und auf dieser Grundlage neue Lösungsansätze entwickeln.

Nur wer weiß, was er wirklich will, und die Disziplin hat, diesen Weg unbeirrt zu gehen, wird seine wahre Freiheit finden. #1 New York Times-Bestseller-Autor Jocko Willink hat im Rang des Commanders unter den SEALs in der höchstdekorierten Specialeinheit im Irak gekämpft. In Der Weg der Disziplin beschreibt er erstmals, wie sich jeder mit physischer und mentaler Disziplin in die Lage versetzen kann, seine Leistung in allen Bereichen des Lebens zu steigern. Er demonstriert, wie man smarter, schneller und gesünder wird und zugleich die eigenen Ziele im Leben erreichen kann. Viele Bücher, die das Überwinden von Hindernissen und das Erreichen von Zielen in den Vordergrund rücken, vergessen dabei die wichtigste Komponente: Disziplin. Doch ohne Disziplin gibt es keinen Fortschritt. Keine Verbesserung. Keinen Erfolg. In Der Weg der Disziplin bündelt Jocko Willink das notwenige Wissen über Disziplin und zeigt, wie sich Schwächen besiegen, Angst überwinden und beständiges Aufschieben verhindern lassen. Zudem finden sich im Buch spezifische Workouts zur physischen Leistungssteigerung für Anfänger, Fortgeschrittene und erfahrene Athleten sowie die besten Gewohnheiten um optimalen Schlaf und bestmögliche Ernährung zu gewährleisten.

Cuando la madre de Marc le dice que su tío Jake pasará con ellos todo el verano, Marc no puede esperar. Jake es un hombre de verdad, un Navy SEAL. Y el tío Jake tiene un plan. Convertirá a Marc en un chico guerrero. Convertirse en un guerrero no es fácil. ¡Esto significa que hay que hacer muchísimas flexiones, abdominales, sentadillas, flexiones en la barra, nadar, comer bien y estudiar más que nunca! ¿Podrá Marc transformarse en un chico guerrero antes de que empiecen las clases en otoño y, finalmente, enfrentarse al Rey del patio? El camino del chico guerrero es un libro ilustrado del reconocido autor de éxito, número uno en la lista de los más vendidos del New York Times y Navy SEAL retirado, Jocko Willink.
