Former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink in his AWESOME Extreme Ownership gives us a final reminder of what we have been studying in this series.

THE DICHOTOMY OF LEADERSHIP

*confident but not cocky

*courageous but not foolhardy

*competitive but a gracious loser

*attentive to details but not obsessed by them

*strong but have endurance

*a leader and a follower

*humble not passive

*aggressive not overbearing

*quiet not silent

*calm but not robotic; logical but not devoid of emotions

*close with the troops but not do close that one becomes more important than another or more important than the good of the team; not so close that they forget who is in charge.

“A Good leader has NOTHING (my emphasis) to prove, but EVERYTHING to prove.”

HOORAH!
