The Dichotomy of Leadership | Jocko Willink | Leif Babin |

Jocko Willink and Leif Babin together served in the U.S. Navy Seals for decades. In the book “extreme ownership”, they shared their stories, their experience and lessons learnt while serving in the U.S. Navy Seals.

Every leader must walk a fine line. That’s what makes leadership so challenging. Just as discipline and freedom are opposing forces that must be balanced, leadership requires finding the equilibrium in the dichotomy of many seemingly contradictory qualities, between one extreme and another.

A good leader must find balance in following dichotomies of leadership

A good leader must be:
• confident but not cocky;
• courageous but not foolhardy;
• competitive but a gracious loser;
• attentive to details but not obsessed by them;
• strong but have endurance;
• a leader and follower;
• humble not passive;
• aggressive not overbearing;
