With their first book, Extreme Ownership (published in October 2015), Jocko Willink and Leif Babin set a new standard for leadership, challenging readers to become better leaders, better followers, and better people, in both their professional and personal lives. Now, in THE DICHOTOMY OF LEADERSHIP, Jocko and Leif dive even deeper into the unchartered and complex waters of a concept first introduced in Extreme Ownership: finding balance between the opposing forces that pull every leader in different directions. Here, Willink and Babin get granular into the nuances that every successful leader must navigate.

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.

REVIEWS:

Until this point in my life, 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.
Pete Roberts, Co-Founder & CEO, Origin Maine USA

The Dichotomy of Leadership needs to come with a warning label: BRUTALLY HONEST. Finally, a book that tells the truth on how hard and complex it can be to tackle leadership challenges.
Lindi Horton, Director 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.
Sarah Armstrong, CFO, Mesa Technical Associates

The Dichotomy of Leadership provides even more depth and dimension to the principles of Extreme Ownership.
Sonja Winkler, Senior Director of Operations, Nashville Symphony

"Jocko and Leif have done the impossible. The Dichotomy of Leadership is better than Extreme Ownership. In this book they refine the principles that made two of the leading voices in management and leadership today. All of the questions your team asked after reading Extreme Ownership are answered. The nuance provided in The Dichotomy of Leadership is exactly what our team needed to fully implement Extreme Ownership. "
Bryce Maddock, CEO, TaskUs

Even better than Extreme Ownership. It's FREAKING AWESOME.
Joe Masciantonio, Vice President of Sales, The Nature's Bounty Company

Perfect for Dry Heels
I'm at the house all day and run around without shoes on, so these fit my needs perfectly. I bought these socks because I'm applying lotion to my dry heels and wanted to cover them up afterwards. At the same time, I didn't want to cover up my toes because that's a good way to get toenail fungus. The quality is good, and I like that these socks aren't real thick or too thin. They seem like they'll hold up well.

Too tight
The socks are soft and pretty. They fit further down on the foot than I expected. However, they do not cover toe halves, which is what I was looking for. They were not comfortable, but they would be good for getting a pedicure.

Cute and Comfortable
I have now purchased at least three packs of these Freetoes, so that says something; I love to wear flip flops and sandals but while walking some distance they can chafe and cause foot issues so I use the socks as a buffer, they are attractive and comfortable, especially in warmer months, and have solved the chafing issue. Highly recommend!
