Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win Hardcover – October 20, 2015

The title says it all. It really helps you reevaluate your leadership and how you approach situations in life personal or professional. This book is a total game changer.

Great book for leadership and reading about the military story’s with leadership styles is really awesome

Extreme Ownership is one of the best leadership books out there for the common man, but with the thousands of these types of books out there, the real question is why? The answer is it simplicity allows this book to lead and win (pun intended). The book is written by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, both Navy SEALs, during the fight against the Taliban (Battle for Ramadi to be exact). Also during when may other noteworthy SEALs were serving, namely Chris Kyle.Each chapter in the book is structured in the same way:Real World example / combat experience -> Principal -> Application to BusinessIn the real world example the author recalls a past experience, most of which are combat related, that demonstrates the main point of the chapter, then breaks down the principal itself and then applies to to a real world business example from their current leadership / business consulting work.The ideas / chapters are:Extreme Ownership (an overview)No Bad Teams, only Bad leadersBelieveCheck the EgoCover and MoveSimplePrioritize and ExecuteDecentralized CommandPlanLeading up and Down the Chain of CommandDecisiveness amid UncertaintyDiscipline Equals Freedom / Dichotomy of LeadershipAs i stated before the strength of the book is in its simplicity, all the ideas / principals that the authors lay out can be applied QUICKLY to anyone current job, from a top level executive to a dishwasher. It wont take a 10 page plan or two week workshop to start implementing. The book doesn't give you in 500 pages of boring detail or have worksheets to fill out. What it does do is provide a outstanding framework to rapidly get you on the road to high performance, in a individual or team setting, all in a format and language that everyone can understand.I highly recommend this book to everyone, especially if you don't know where to start or are just starting to learn about leadership, and as leadership skill is a constant learning process, follow it up with more detailed training.

Jocko Willink and Leif Babin have an excellent skill at taking a simple and intuitive mindset and communicating how this mindset is very key in succeeding at leading yourself or others to success. Whether its overseas or in an office high-rise they claim that this mindset will lead to higher success and growth as a person and they have convinced me of this claim through this book.What I like most about this book is that a lot of the ideas in it are intuitive or already very well known. What makes this book special is the way in which they tie a lot of these simple ideas together into an easy-to-understand mindset. They do so in a straight-forward and honest way, backing up their claims from their time in combat or from the numerous consulting experiences with various companies. While it is obvious that Willink and Babin have a lot of experience in leadership, they do a great job at presenting the content in a down-to-earth manner that is relatable. I like that they even go into detail about mistakes they have made and how they learned from it themselves. Someone who can identify their own mistakes and learn from them, to me, shows a mastery of the willingness to learn and to grow as an individual. Anyone could benefit from learning from someone with this mastery and both of these men have it.Pros:*Written in a straight-forward, down-to-earth way*Applicable advice for anyone in any situation*Very good presentation and integration of intuitive or already-known ideasCons:*NoneAdditional Considerations:Jocko has a great podcast he puts out weekly. Leif has been featured as a guest as well. It is an excellent way to extend and enhance what you will learn from the book.Overall: 5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, <.5 rounds down) => 5 starsIf you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Très bon livre. Comme toujours avec amazon, l'emballage n'est pas soigné. Le livre est légèrement abîmé avec des morceaux de litière entre les pages ?
