"With so much of this audiobook illustrated by the authors' battlefield experiences, their dramatic, often combative, narration is not entirely out of place...the authors grasp the awesome responsibilities of leading, and their assertive performances convey an urgency that makes this lesson memorable." â?? AudioFile Magazine The importance of balance as a leader by the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of Extreme Ownership.
Every leader must be ready and willing to take charge, to make hard, crucial calls for the good of the team and the mission. Something much more difficult to understand is that, in order to be a good leader, one must also be a good follower. This is a dichotomy; a Dichotomy of Leadership. It is, as authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin explained in their bestselling first audiobook Extreme Ownership, "Simple, Not Easy." Now, in The Dichotomy of Leadership, the authors explain the power inherent in the recognition of the fine line that leaders must walk, balancing between two seemingly opposite inclinations. It is with the knowledge and understanding of this balance that a leader can most effectively lead, accomplish the mission and achieve the goal of every leader and every team: Victory. Using examples from the authors' combat and training experience in the SEAL Teams and then showing how each lesson applies to business and in life, Willink and Babin reveal how the use of seemingly opposite principlesâ??leading and following, focusing and detaching, being both aggressive and prudentâ??require skill, awareness, understanding and dexterity; all attributes that can be honed.

In The Dichotomy of Leadership the duo explore the sacrifices which are required to be made by leaders to keep their leadership in effective balance while going on and above the call of duty. Interlacing their narrative with lessons learnt during the Battle of Ramadi in Iraq and the corporate world, Willink and Babin provide an explosive insight into the hearts and minds of effective leaders.
I just didn't respond well to the use of the battlefield to business problems. The illustrations were clear and some were interesting perspectives, but the use of war stories and metaphors got a little old. I prefer a more balanced guide to leadership - one that has at least somewhat of a female POV. ( )
The themes and use of stories to illustrate the points made are very well done. It is done in the context of extreme ownership as well. The ideas and actions, to steal from the authors are "simple, not easy". ( )
