Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win (New Edition)

Description

From Jocko Willink, the New York Times best selling author of Discipline
Equals Freedom and Leadership Strategy and Tactics, an updated edition of the
blockbuster bestselling leadership book that took America and the world by
storm, two U.S. Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special
forces unit of the Iraq War demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership
principles from the battlefield to business and life. Now with an excerpt from
the authors’ new book, THE DICHOTOMY OF LEADERSHIP. Combat, the most intense
and dynamic environment imaginable, teaches the toughest leadership lessons,
with absolutely everything at stake. Jocko Willink and Leif Babin learned this
reality first-hand on the most violent and dangerous battlefield in Iraq. As
leaders of SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, their mission was one many
thought impossible: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a violent, insurgent-held
city deemed “all but lost.” In gripping, firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic
loss, and hard-won victories, they learned that leadership―at every level―is
the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails. Willink and
Babin returned home from deployment and instituted SEAL leadership training to
pass on their harsh lessons of self-discipline, mental toughness and self-
defense learned in combat to help forge the next generation of SEAL leaders.
After leaving the SEAL Teams, they launched a company, Echelon Front, to teach
those same leadership principles to leaders in businesses, companies, and
organizations across the civilian sector. Since that time, they have trained
countless leaders and worked with hundreds of companies in virtually every
industry across the U.S. and internationally, teaching them how to develop
their own high-performance teams and most effectively lead those teams to
dominate their battlefields. Since it’s release in October 2015, Extreme
Ownership has revolutionized leadership development and set a new standard for
literature on the subject. Required reading for many of the most successful
organizations, it has become an integral part of the official leadership
training programs for scores of business teams, military units, and first
responders. Detailing the resilient mindset and total focus principles that
enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult combat missions, Extreme
Ownership demonstrates how to apply them to any team or organization, in any
leadership environment. A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and
direct application, Extreme Ownership challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill
their ultimate purpose: lead and win. Read more Read less
