Extreme Ownership
How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win
The leader owns everything in their world. No exceptions, no blaming the plan, no blaming the people below.
Willink and Babin commanded SEAL Task Unit Bruiser through the battle of Ramadi, and this book carries what the fighting taught them into business. The central claim is an uncomfortable one: when a team fails, the leader is the cause, including in the cases where the failure looks like somebody else’s. Each chapter pairs a combat account with a management problem. It has since become close to standard issue in corporate leadership training.
