Discipline Equals Freedom

THE INSTANT #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of Extreme Ownership comes a new and revolutionary approach to help leaders recognize and attain the leadership balance crucial to victory. 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.

The Dichotomy of Leadership

An updated edition of the blockbuster bestselling leadership book that took America and the world by storm, two U.S. Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life. Sent to the most violent battlefield in Iraq, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin’s SEAL task unit faced a seemingly impossible mission: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a city deemed “all but lost.” In gripping firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories in SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, they learned that leadership—at every level—is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails. Willink and Babin returned home from deployment and instituted SEAL leadership training that helped forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After departing the SEAL Teams, they launched Echelon Front, a company that teaches these same leadership principles to businesses and organizations. From promising startups to Fortune 500 companies, Babin and Willink have helped scores of clients across a broad range of industries build their own high-performance teams and dominate their battlefields. Now, detailing the mind-set and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult missions in combat, Extreme Ownership shows how to apply them to any team, family or organization. Each chapter focuses on a specific topic such as Cover and Move, Decentralized Command, and Leading Up the Chain, explaining what they are, why they are important, and how to implement them in any leadership environment. A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership revolutionizes business management and challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead and win.

The dichotomy of leadership

In einer aktualisierten Ausgabe des Blockbuster-Bestsellers Führungsbuch, das Amerika und die Welt im Sturm eroberte, zeigen zwei U.S. Navy SEAL-Offiziere, die die höchstdekorierte Spezialeinheit des Irakkriegs leiteten, wie man mächtige Führungsprinzipien vom Schlachtfeld auf das Geschäft und das Leben anwendet . Die SEAL-Einsatzeinheit von Jocko Willink und Leif Babin, die auf das gewalttätigste Schlachtfeld im Irak geschickt wurde, sah sich einer scheinbar unmöglichen Mission gegenüber: den US-Streitkräften zu helfen, Ramadi zu sichern, eine Stadt, die als "so gut wie verloren" gilt. In packenden Berichten aus erster Hand über Heldentum, tragische Verluste und hart erkämpfte Siege in der Task Unit Bruiser von SEAL Team Three lernten sie, dass Führung - auf allen Ebenen - der wichtigste Faktor für den Erfolg oder Misserfolg eines Teams ist. Willink und Babin kehrten vom Einsatz nach Hause zurück und führten ein SEAL-Führungstraining ein, das dazu beitrug, die nächste Generation von SEAL-Führungskräften zu formen. Nachdem sie die SEAL-Teams verlassen hatten, gründeten sie Echelon Front, ein Unternehmen, das Unternehmen und Organisationen dieselben Führungsprinzipien vermittelt. Von vielversprechenden Start-ups bis hin zu Fortune-500-Unternehmen haben Babin und Willink zahlreichen Kunden aus einer Vielzahl von Branchen dabei geholfen, ihre eigenen Hochleistungsteams aufzubauen und ihre Schlachtfelder zu dominieren. Jetzt zeigt Extreme Ownership die Denkweise und die Prinzipien, die es SEAL-Einheiten ermöglichen, die schwierigsten Missionen im Kampf zu erfüllen, wie man sie auf jedes Team, jede Familie oder Organisation anwendet. Jedes Kapitel konzentriert sich auf ein bestimmtes Thema wie Cover and Move, Decentralized Command und Leading Up the Chain und erklärt, was sie sind, warum sie wichtig sind und wie sie in jeder Führungsumgebung implementiert werden können. Extreme Ownership ist eine überzeugende Erzählung mit kraftvollen Anweisungen und direkter Anwendung und revolutioniert die Unternehmensführung und fordert Führungskräfte auf der ganzen Welt heraus, ihr ultimatives Ziel zu erreichen: führen und gewinnen.

Wie U.S. Navy SEALs führen und gewinnen

Hilfreiches Marschgepäck für alle Führungskräfte Amerikas berühmtester Navy-SEAL-Businesscoach Jocko Willink kennt die effektivsten Führungsprinzipien der Eliteeinheit. Seine Bücher schufen ganz neue Standards für Leadership-Qualitäten. Doch die praktische Anwendung dieser Prinzipien ist oft anspruchsvoller, als es zunächst den Anschein hat. Was ist beispielsweise, wenn man für eine Führungsposition ausgewählt wird, die man nicht will? Wie baut man Vertrauen auf und übt Kritik in der Befehlskette nach oben und nach unten? Willinks praktisches Handbuch hilft dabei, die Grundsätze der Navy SEALs täglich in die Praxis zu übertragen und Taktik in die Tat umzusetzen – das heißt, die Strategie der Navy SEALs zu verstehen und auf pragmatische Weise anzuwenden. Dazu liefert er eine einfache, klar strukturierte Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung, um Führungskräften dabei zu helfen, das zu tun, was sie tun sollen: führen.
