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 operations 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 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 mindset and 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.

No-nonsense leadership book based on real-world SEAL combat experience; learn how to TAKE OWNERSHIP!
Reviewed in the United States on 9 March 2024Verified Purchase
Jocko & Leif offer a compelling, no-nonsense leadership approach in Extreme Ownership, based on their real-world combat experience as U.S. Navy SEAL officers. The book presents a powerful framework for embracing 100% ownership and accountability for the actions of your team, whether they result in success or failure (even if it means getting fired). They emphasize how to turn failures into growth rather than blaming yourself, others or any other external factors. They also describe how “the best leaders are not driven by ego or personal agendas [but] are simply focused on the mission and how to best accomplish it.”
Each chapter starts off with description of a real-world combat scenario followed by an explanation of “principle” i.e. what they learned / how their leadership developed as result of that scenario and ends with an “application to business” section in which Jocko or Leif explain how they helped company executive(s) tackle a similar leadership challenge in the corporate world (through their consulting business, Echelon Front).
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Always acknowledge mistakes and admit failures, take ownership & establish a game plan to WIN.
• “No bad teams, only bad leaders” because “leadership is the single greatest factor in any team’s performance [and] the leader’s attitude sets the tone for the entire team.”
• Check your ego; humble leadership builds trust. Be confident not cocky… nobody is too good to fail.
• Prioritize and execute through the fog of war to focus on the highest priority tasks (first) that maximize mission impact.
• Decentralized command – trust & empower junior leaders to make decisions and take ownership of those decisions. Allows senior leaders to focus on the big picture.
• Every team member must understand the commander’s intent, overall mission, and their role in it. They shouldn’t always be asking the why behind the team’s actions.
• “Remember: the enemy gets a vote.” Never take anything for granted or assume positive outcomes. Plan and prepare for contingencies.
• Leading UP and down the chain. If your team is not performing or your supervisor is not understanding, check yourself first. You are responsible for communicating simply, clearly and concisely to ensure they understand. Don’t expect people to read your mind.
Extreme Ownership is a must-read for anyone striving to become a more disciplined, decisive, and selfless leader who intends to maximize the potential of their team. Jocko & Leif’s straightforward advice and real-life examples make their book a valuable resource for leaders at all levels (in any industry).

O livro é muito bom, mas recomendo a leitura da versão traduzida, os termos utilizados não são simples para quem não tem pleno domínio da língua inglesa e ainda não conhece os jargões militares utilizados no livro.
