In The Dichotomy of Leadership, decorated former US Navy SEAL officers Jocko Willink and Leif Babin show you how to walk the fine line of being a true leader to accomplish missions in your personal and business lives and achieve the goal of every team: victory.

Using lessons learned from the authors' elite combat and training experiences, Willink and Babin reveal how the use of opposing principles - leading while following, focusing and detaching, being aggressive yet prudent - will heighten your awareness, deepen your understanding, improve your dexterity and hone your ability to lead and win.

Jocks and Leif return to narrate their next instalment, an expansion on Extreme Ownership. So rear or listen to that first, this will make more sense. In saying that, they do repeat some things from the first book, but it goes a long way to further critical analysis of the concepts in Extreme Ownership AND to ensure there is clear understanding of the dichotomy that does exist in leadership.
If you are interested in becoming a better leader, understanding leadership principals or just love the guys talking about their history and lessons, this is a must get - BUT do Extreme Ownership first. Enjoy
