What to expect
Read by the authors, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin
The blockbuster bestselling leadership guide that took America and the world by storm. Jocko Willink and Leif Babin are ex US Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special forces unit of the Iraq War. Now they demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life.
Combat teaches the toughest leadership lessons, with absolutely everything at stake. Jocko Willink and Leif Babin learned this reality first-hand in Iraq. As leaders of SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, their mission was one many thought impossible: help US forces secure Ramadi, a violent, insurgent-held city deemed ‘all but lost’. In gripping, first-hand 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.
Today Willink and Babin train leaders and work with hundreds of companies in virtually every industry across the US and internationally, teaching them how to develop their own high-performance teams. 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 fulfil their ultimate purpose: lead and win
Critics Review
-
Even if you just read the intro and chapters one, six and twelve, even if you just do that, the book is worth many times the price
Tim Ferriss
-
One of the best books on leadership I've ever read and a tremendous war story book as well.
Marc Andreessen

Finally, a leadership book that actually demonstrates how to truly lead. Riveting, engaging, and free from the usual cliché platitudes, this book is strikingly impactful and will dramatically improve leaders of all types.
