Book Notes
Extreme Ownership
Jocko Willink & Leif Babin
Jocko & Leif were US Navy Seal Officers leading a Seal Task Force in the battle of Ramadi in Iraq. A period of intense sustained combat in a built up area. The book is about the mindset and leadership lessons they learned in the Seals and perfected in combat. Their distillation is designed to be applied to any team or business context where performance matters. The title refers to the principle of individual accountability for every aspect of the team’s mission. Plenty of interest and value here for military and business leaders alike.
