The Dichotomy of Leadership by Jocko Willink & Leif Babin

After the publication of Extreme Ownership, the authors, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, began to notice a new problem arise amongst their students. While it fixed many of the problems businesses were seeing. Some took it to an extreme. Possibly as a consequence of the name Extreme Ownership containing the word “extreme.” Most things in the world require balance, but people either do too little or too much. Extreme Ownership was written for those that were doing too little in the way of leading their organizations. This book, The Dichotomy of Leadership, was a response to seeing people begin to take things too far to the other end of the leadership spectrum.

This entire book is about balancing the various responsibilities of leadership. Every chapter, except the introduction, covers some type of issue that requires balance. Like their other books, they first discuss an experience they had while leading training evolutions or in combat in Iraq. These experiences lead into a discussion about a particular principle which in turn leads into an actual anecdote of teaching and applying this to the businesses of their clients. Usually, the business scenario occurs as a result of a student or organization taking a principle of Extreme Ownership to such an extreme that Jocko of Leif have to rein them in and balance them back out.
