The Dichotomy of Leadership
Balancing the Challenges of Extreme Ownership to Lead and Win
Book • 2024
In this book, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin delve into the most challenging aspect of leading people: the dichotomy of leadership.
They explain that effective leadership requires finding a balance between forces that pull leaders in opposite directions.
Drawing from their combat experiences and leadership consulting work, the authors provide dynamic examples and practical advice on how to apply these leadership concepts in various contexts, including the battlefield, business, and personal life.
