The Dichotomy of Leadership: Balancing The Challenges of Extreme Ownership to Lead and Win

"Read by authors, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. Learning to find balance will lead you to victory. Every leader must be ready and willing to take charge, to make hard, crucial calls for the good of the team and the mission. Something much more difficult to understand is that, in order to be a good leader, one must also be a good follower. This is a dichotomy; a Dichotomy of Leadership. It is, as authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin wrote in their bestselling first book Extreme Ownership, 'Simple, Not Easy'. Now, in The Dichotomy of Leadership, the authors provide the insight and awareness necessary for leaders to understand when to lead and when to follow, when to focus and when to detach, when to tighten the reins and when to let the team run, when to aggressively manoeuvre and when to be prudent. The life-changing guidance is essential for every leader and every team. Understanding how to maintain balance enables leaders to most effectively lead, accomplish their mission and achieve the ultimate goal of every team: Victory. As consultants to over 1,600 companies and organizations across the world, they have worked with thousands of leaders across the full spectrum of industries. Through dynamic examples from their combat and training experiences in the SEAL Teams and vignettes from the business arena, Willink and Babin demonstrate how each leadership concept applies on the battlefield, in business and in life."

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.

Final Spin

"Number one New York Times bestselling author Jocko Willink’s fast-paced thriller Final Spin is a story of love, brotherhood, suffering, happiness and sacrifice – a story about life. Johnny . . . Shouldn’t be in a dead-end job. Shouldn’t be in a dead-end bar. Shouldn’t be in a dead-end life. But he is. It’s a hamster-wheel existence. Stocking warehouse store shelves by day, drinking too much whisky and beer by night. In between, Johnny lives in his childhood home, making sure his alcoholic mother hasn’t drunk herself to death, and looking after his idiosyncratic older brother Arty, whose world revolves around his laundromat job. Rinse and repeat. Then Johnny’s monotonous life takes a tumble. The laundromat where Arty works, and the one thing that gives him happiness, is about to be sold. Johnny doesn’t want that to happen, so he takes measures into his own hands. Johnny, along with his friend Goat, come up with a plan to get the money to buy the laundromat. But things don’t always go as planned . . ."

This book is step one towards becoming the commander of your own life. The rest is up to you."

[Italian] - Mai dire ma

"COME DIVENTARE LA VERSIONE MIGLIORE DI NOI STESSI Un buon leader non cerca scuse: trova sempre un modo di fare le cose. Se non metti nulla in discussione, nulla migliorerà. L'esitazione è un nemico che fa perdere opportunità. L'ego annebbia e distrugge ogni cosa. Disciplina significa libertà: metti la sveglia e buttati giù dal letto appena suona. Non arrenderti. E soprattutto, mai, ma proprio mai, dire ma. Questa è la regola aurea per avere successo nella vita e nel lavoro: assumersi la responsabilità degli errori e non scaricare la colpa sugli altri o sulle circostanze. Sia nelle relazioni personali che sul lavoro, con i colleghi o i sottoposti, il vero leader è colui che si chiede sempre: cosa potevo fare io, dove ho sbagliato, cosa posso fare per migliorare. Solo così si costruisce un buon team e si arriva al successo. Sono semplici, ma non facili, le regole imparate e testate sul campo - e che campi, quelli più caldi del pianeta - dagli ufficiali dei Navy seal Jocko Willink e Leif Babin, e se applicate portano alla vittoria. Dopo averle sperimentate con successo in battaglia e poi come istruttori nel corso di addestramento più duro che esista, quello per Navy seal, e dopo averle insegnate a migliaia di persone nei loro incontri di coaching, ora vogliono condividerle con tutti, insieme ad aneddoti tratti dalla loro esperienza di comandanti di alcune delle più pericolose e premiate missioni. Perché ciascuno possa vincere nella propria arena: lavoro, studio, vita privata. contributori LE Fabrizio Rocchi"

Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win

"'These guys are intense. And they bring that same fire to their narration in the audiobook. Listen to these insanely competent SEAL officers tell you exactly how to make a team successful through their firsthand experiences in business and combat.' - The Hustle An updated edition of the blockbuster bestselling leadership audiobook 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. Combat, the most intense and dynamic environment imaginable, teaches the toughest leadership lessons, with absolutely everything at stake. Jocko Willink and Leif Babin learned this reality first-hand on the most violent and dangerous battlefield in Iraq. As leaders of SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, their mission was one many thought impossible: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a violent, insurgent-held city deemed “all but lost.” In gripping, firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories, 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 to pass on their harsh lessons learned in combat to help forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After leaving the SEAL Teams, they launched a company, Echelon Front, to teach those same leadership principles to leaders in businesses, companies, and organizations across the civilian sector. Since that time, they have trained countless leaders and worked with hundreds of companies in virtually every industry across the U.S. and internationally, teaching them how to develop their own high-performance teams and most effectively lead those teams to dominate their battlefields. Since its release in October 2015, Extreme Ownership has revolutionized leadership development and set a new standard for literature on the subject. Required listening for many of the most successful organizations, it has become an integral part of the official leadership training programs for scores of business teams, military units, and first responders. Detailing the mindset and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult combat missions, Extreme Ownership demonstrates how to apply them to any team or organization, in any leadership environment. A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead and win."
