About this listen

Sequel to the multimillion-selling Extreme Ownership.

Over 150 weeks spent on best-seller lists.

Creator of the number one Business podcast - over 500K downloads per week.

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.

This book is a fantastic follow up to Extreme Ownership. It dives deeper into the Dichotomies and really fleshes out the ideas.

I got a lot from this and I am a leader in a 7 person company. Big or small workplace, there is a lot to be learned.

Another fantastic performance from Jocko and Leif.

Exceptional!

Having read Extreme Ownership. I'm appreciate the audio version of this Dichotomy of Leadership audio book even more, as Jocko and Leif really brings to life the Dichotomies and principles they intend to teach. Passionate audio that really made me want to continue listening.

Amazing, insightful and inspirational

I respect how well the authors apply their leadership experience from the navy seals to the corporate world! They are truly humble leaders who care about their team members, open to listening and know when to let go and hold others accountable in their respective roles. I have learnt so much and need to remind myself that actions speak louder than words and that winning at all costs must be for the greater good!

Empowering!!!
