The Dichotomy of Leadership
Balancing the Challenges of Extreme Ownership to Lead and Win
About the book
Jocko Willink and Leif Babin's follow-up to Extreme Ownership explores a concept introduced there: keeping a balance between opposite pressures that tug a leader two ways at once. A leader has to judge when to follow rather than lead, when to wait rather than move aggressively, and when to step back and let the team run versus when to get deep into the details. The authors pair taking Extreme Ownership with giving ownership to the team, caring for each person with putting the mission first, and humility with a willingness to push back on questionable decisions. Each lesson comes from their combat and training experience in the SEAL teams and is then applied to business.

Until this point in my life, I've never read a book that reveals the truths of leadership in such detail and rawness. The true value of this book cannot be quantified in words.
