About Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin
According to Navy SEAL officers and bestselling authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, “Extreme Ownership” is the practice of taking responsibility for everything in your world, to an extreme level. Those who follow principles of Extreme Ownership accept ownership of not only those tasks which they directly control, but also those tasks which ultimately affect their success, even if those tasks are the immediate responsibility of someone else.
In their book, Extreme Ownership, Jocko and Leif cover the main principles of leadership which they believe ultimately lead to success. They show us that there are only two types of leaders: effective ones and ineffective ones. Effective leaders are those leaders who understand and implement the core building blocks of leadership, which are in turn based on the fundamentals of Extreme Ownership. An effective leader is one who accepts Extreme Ownership as his or her core mindset. An ineffective leader is one who blames or leans too heavily on others.
