"Extreme Ownership" by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin is a transformative book that draws lessons in leadership from their experiences as Navy SEALs in the intense combat environment of Iraq. The authors recount their time leading SEAL Team Three's Task Unit Bruiser in the challenging mission to secure the insurgent-held city of Ramadi. Through gripping stories of heroism, loss, and victory, they emphasize the crucial role of leadership in the success or failure of a team.
After their deployment, Willink and Babin brought their combat-tested leadership principles to the civilian sector, founding Echelon Front to train leaders in various industries. "Extreme Ownership" has since become a pivotal resource in leadership development, adopted by many successful organizations, businesses, military units, and first responders. The book offers valuable insights and practical guidance on applying SEAL leadership principles to any leadership environment, challenging leaders to embrace their ultimate purpose: to lead and win.
