The Need to Lead invokes the classic Top Gun movie quote. It is also an undeniable truth that author Dave Berke experienced as a Marine Corps officer, fighter pilot, TOPGUN instructor, ground combat leader, husband, and father. His book, The Need to Lead, based on his experiences in combat and TOPGUN training as well as his teachings at Echelon Front, helps readers be better leaders and understand that leadership is a universal requirement for success, no matter the environment.

During the Jocko Podcast, Dave and Jocko Willink, who also wrote the foreword, break down why humility, detachment, and rejecting perfection are the foundation of true leadership.

The Jocko Podcast is hosted by Jocko Willink, bestselling author of Extreme Ownership, The Dichotomy of Leadership, Leadership Strategy and Tactics and more. Find the Jocko Podcast on YouTubeSpotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
