The Dichotomy of Leadership: Balancing the Challenges of Extreme Ownership to Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin

Just as discipline and freedom are opposing forces that must be balanced, leadership requires finding the equilibrium in the dichotomy of many seemingly contradictory qualities between one extreme and another.

  • A leader must lead but also be ready to follow.
  • A leader must be aggressive but not overbearing.
  • A leader must be calm but not robotic.
  • A leader must be confident but never cocky.
  • A leader must be brave but not foolhardy.
  • A leader must be humble but not passive; quiet but not silent.
  • A leader must be attentive to details but not obsessed with them.
  • A leader must be close with subordinates but not too close.

12 Rules For Life: An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan B. Peterson

12 Rules for Life is an interesting book. Equal parts philosophy, psychology, and self-help book, it covers a broad range of topics, with Peterson drawing from life experiences, religion, and history to build a strong case for his points and provide what seems on its surface to be very good advice for people.

I’ll give you Rule #1: Stand up straight with your shoulders back (make your body/mind honest, straight and strong). Purchase the book to understand all of them.
