Publisher's summary

Important note: This is a summary of The Dichotomy of Leadership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin and is not the original book.

If you’re looking for the most effective approach to leadership, then hear the advice of Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, both retired US Navy SEALs. This audiobook summarizes the key leadership lessons they learned while serving their country.

They sharpened their world-class leadership skills through years of military training and during combat in some of the most brutal wars of recent times. The ability to manage a team successfully determined whether they would leave the fight alive or die at the hands of their enemies.

Whether the need to lead is in a war zone or on the shop floor, the principles of leadership are the same. If you’re in a position where you need to manage a team of people, you’ll know it’s not always easy. Trying to reconcile the varying perspectives and get everyone working toward the same goal can be challenging at best.

Perhaps you are looking to enter a managerial position in the future and want to be prepared for the demands this role will bring. Or maybe you simply want to be a better leader in general and feel you are capable of managing any social situation. Whichever applies to you, what you need is a watertight set of skills that will allow you to successfully lead any group of people under any circumstances.

This audiobook summarizes The Dichotomy of Leadership and translates 20 years of leadership experience into 12 lessons that can be used by anyone looking for an effective way to lead and inspire people. Each lesson is embedded in real-life accounts of experiences in the military and shows how it can be applied to different business situations.

In this audiobook, you will discover:

• How to empower your team and encourage them to be accountable for their own tasks.
• How to deal with a difficult boss.
• The best approach for dealing with underperforming members - when you should mentor them and when you should let them go.
• How to impose rules and regulations without being overbearing.
• The best way to make your team work together in harmony and reach optimal results.
