Quotes From The Dichotomy Of Leadership<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Dichotomy of Leadership<\/em> is Willink and Babin\u2019s follow-up to 2015\u2019s Extreme Ownership<\/em><\/a>, which argues that a leader should take responsibility for all their team\u2019s mistakes and do everything they can to improve the team\u2019s chance of success<\/a>. The authors refer to this idea as \u201cExtreme Ownership.\u201d The principle of Extreme Ownership serves as the foundation of Willink and Babin\u2019s argument throughout The Dichotomy of Leadership<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following The Dichotomy of Leadership<\/em> quotes highlight some of the key ideas: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen a leader takes too much ownership, there is no ownership left for the team or subordinate leaders to take. So the team loses initiative, they lose momentum, they won’t make any decision, they just sit around and wait to be told what to do.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Willink and Babin explain that some people misunderstand the concept of radical accountability, using it as an excuse to assume direct responsibility for as many tasks as possible\u2014micromanaging their teams. The authors condemn micromanagement<\/a> primarily because micromanaging your team members discourages them from taking responsibility for the broader mission<\/strong>. If your team members sense that you want to control everything, they\u2019ll do nothing but wait around until you give them specific directions. By disincentivizing them from coming up with creative ideas and getting things done on their own, you stunt their personal growth<\/a> and hurt the team\u2019s potential for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInstead of focusing on one individual, leaders must remember that there is a team\u2014and that the performance of the team trumps the performance of a single individual. Instead of continuing to invest in one subpar performer, once a concerted effort has been made to coach and train that individual to no avail, the leader must remove the individual.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Willink and Babin assert that you want every member of your team to feel unconditionally supported. However, they point out that if you let a single struggling member drag the rest of the team down, you\u2019re doing everyone a disservice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willink and Babin emphasize that in the majority of cases, you should try as hard as you can to coach struggling team members until they improve and meet your team\u2019s standards. Part of radical accountability is accepting responsibility<\/a> for your team members\u2019 shortcomings. If they fail, begin by assuming you\u2019re not mentoring them well enough.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if it becomes obvious that the struggling team member isn\u2019t able to improve, you\u2019re obligated to cut them from the team. Willink and Babin explain that this is also a form of radical accountability\u2014doing what needs to be done for the good of the entire group. You\u2019re protecting the rest of the team from the consequences of their potential mistakes. And more than likely, you\u2019re doing what\u2019s best for the one who\u2019s struggling\u2014they\u2019ll be happier working on a team better suited to their abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c… the best leaders, the best teams, don\u2019t wait to act. Instead, understanding the strategic vision (or commander\u2019s intent<\/a>), they aggressively execute to overcome obstacles<\/a>, capitalize on immediate opportunities, accomplish the mission, and win.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In most situations, doing anything, even embracing an imperfect solution to a problem, is better than doing nothing. This is because problems often get worse the longer you take to solve them.<\/strong> Proactive action now makes things easier down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authors explain that doing nothing but waiting around for orders is the opposite of radical accountability. There\u2019s always an action you can take to further the mission. If you don\u2019t have the authority to do something, make a direct recommendation to someone who does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA leader must care about the troops, but at the same time the leader must complete the mission, and in doing so there will be risk and sometimes unavoidable consequences to the troops.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A leader must inevitably make decisions that put individual team members in harm\u2019s way for the sake of the mission. Sacrifice is integral to the idea of what it means to be a leader<\/a>. It\u2019s why many people see leadership as a burden\u2014many leaders struggle with a guilty conscience over the decisions they have to make.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
