I know that I have snorted and laughed countless times watching the exploits of Regional Manager Michael Scott and his band of interesting employees. But the show is actually more than just a comedy. It actually reveals how to be an extremely relevant leader. How? Through the dichotomy of Michael Scott.

He is clingy, annoying, dumb, and much more. He does so many things that would be considered mistakes in the real world. And yet these same traits and mistakes have advantages as well as disadvantages. There are two sides to everything that Michael Scott does - a good side and a bad side. This is the dichotomy of Michael Scott.
The next few blog posts will go into more detail about the Dichotomy of Michael Scott.
