With their first book, Extreme Ownership (2015), Jocko Willink and Leif Babin challenged readers to become better leaders, better followers, and better people in both their professional and personal lives. Now, Jocko and Leif dive deeper into finding balance between the opposing forces that pull every leader in different directions. Mastering the Dichotomy of Leadership requires understanding when to lead and when to follow; when to aggressively maneuver and when to pause and let things develop; when to detach and let the team run and when to dive into the details and micromanage. In addition, every leader must: take Extreme Ownership of everything that impacts their mission, yet Decentralize Command by giving ownership to their team; care deeply about their people and their individual success and livelihoods, yet look out for the good of the overall team and above all accomplish the strategic mission; exhibit the most important quality in a leader -- humility -- but also be willing to speak up and push back against questionable decisions that could hurt the team and the mission. With examples from the authors' combat and training experiences in the SEAL teams, and then a demonstration of how each lesson applies to the business world, Willink and Babin clearly explain The Dichotomy of Leadership -- skills that are mission-critical for any leader and any team to achieve their ultimate goal: VICTORY.
Leadership Strategy and Tactics explains how to take leadership theory, quickly translate that theory into applicable strategy, and then put leadership into action at a tactical level. This book is the solution that leaders at every level need-not just to understand the leadership game, but also how to play the leadership game, and win it
Jocko Willink's methods for success were born in the SEAL Teams, where he
spent most of his adult life, enlisting after high school and rising through
the ranks to become the commander of the most highly decorated special
operations unit of the war in Iraq. In Discipline Equals Freedom, Willink
describes how he lives that mantra: the mental and physical disciplines he
imposes on himself in order to achieve freedom in all aspects of life. Many
books offer advice on how to overcome obstacles and reach your goals - but
that advice often misses the most critical ingredient: discipline. Without
discipline, there will be no real progress. Discipline Equals Freedom covers
it all, including strategies and tactics for conquering weakness,
procrastination, and fear, and specific physical training presented in
workouts for beginner, intermediate, and advanced athletes, and even the best
sleep habits and food intake recommended to optimise performance. Within these
pages discoverthe keys to becoming stronger, smarter, faster, and healthier.
There is only one way to achieve true freedom: The Way of Discipline. Read and
this book and find The Way.
Two highly decorated Navy SEALs, now successful businessmen, demonstrate how to lead and win in business and in life with principles learned on the battlefield, in a revised edition that includes a new foreword, photo insert and Q-and-A section.
