Monday Motivation ”Leadership Lesson...based on Dichotomy of Leadership...”

 A talk with my good looking husband about the latest book he has been reading!...

 

Jocko Willink is a badass. No doubt about it. This former Navy SEAL is the epitome of what it means to be a man’s man. His all-discpline and no B.S. approach to the way he lives his life is an amazing blueprint for athletes and coaches. Willink also has one of the most inspiring and motivating podcasts that you can listen to....

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 utilize 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.

 

happy monday guys!
