The Dichotomy of Leadership

The Dichotomy of Leadership

This book is written about finding the balance between opposing forces that pull every leader in different directions. The authors dive into the nuances that every successful leader must navigate.

Written by the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of Extreme Ownership, this book discusses the balance of when to lead, 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 micromanage.

Reviews:

I’ve never read a book that reveals the truths of leadership in such detail and rawness. The true value of this book cannot be quantified in words. - P. Roberts, Co-Founder & CEO, Origin Maine

Finally a book that tells the truth on how hard and complex it can be to tackle leadership challenges. - L. Horton, Dir. of Cloud Services, Cyber Security Company

Inspiring, practical, and honest lessons that transcend the battlefield. Buy this book, read it, and apply the lessons to any challenge. - S. Armstrong, CFO, Mesa Technical Assoc.
