The squads split up on a night patrol in the jungle, lost their bearings, and when they bumped into each other again in the darkness, they mistook each other for enemy and opened up with gunfire. He has since written Extreme Ownership with some help from fellow SEAL Leif Babin and launches the Echelon Front where they teach leadership principles. If you try to create a solution for every single potential problem that might arise, you overwhelm your team, you overwhelm the planning process, you overcomplicate decisions for leaders. They didn’t have to jump for joy at the though of fighting alongside Iraqi soldiers on a dangerous battlefield. Marine Corps ANGLICO (Air-Naval Gunfire Liaison Company) teams coordinated with American attack aircraft overhead in an effort to drop bombs on enemy positions.

I think it’s important to have had at least a few years of obscurity, where people treat you like everybody else. When leaders dismiss likely threats or problems that could arise, it sets the team up for greater difficulties and may lead to mission failure. When things get complicated, people misunderstand, wires get crossed and inevitably things go wrong. I knew we were making the right decisions and being careful to mitigate every risk we could control.This also applies in business, where different departments make sure to coordinate, support each other, and avoid infighting. In a culture of ownership your team members will hold themselves accountable because they own their results, and they will know what is expected of them because you lead them! With ‘Silver Linings,’ I didn’t feel – I was thinking of certain things, but I just said, ‘Let me go with it. Own it All, But Empower Others — True Extreme Ownership meant that all responsibility rested with me, as the leader. These lessons in leadership and life are applicable to business, personal life and any challenges you may face.

S. Marine ANGLICO team had come very close to directing airstrikes on the house our SEALs were holed up in. As a leader, you need to communicate the plans and tactics as simply as possible, make sure that everyone understands every step and be sure to not over-complicate any stage.It’s natural for anyone in a leadership position to blame subordinate leaders and direct reports when something goes wrong. When something goes wrong — and it eventually does — complex plans add to confusion, which can compound into disaster. This technique of Decentralized Command allows him to focus on the big picture while his lieutenants take care of the rest. Finally, my SEAL senior enlisted advisor (a noncommissioned officer) and I rode along with one of the Army company commanders. They see Extreme Ownership in their leaders, and, as a result, they emulate Extreme Ownership throughout the chain of command down to the most junior personnel.

The operation had kicked off before sunrise, and with the sun now creeping up over the horizon, everyone was shooting.In the early morning darkness, our SEAL sniper element had seen the silhouette of a man armed with an AK-47 creep into their compound. A modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides that feature detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, quotes, and essay topics. This is why Willink believes that being able to decentralise all of the power is a fundamental part of successful leadership. direct the execution of that solution, focusing all efforts and resources toward this priority task. These principles empower those teams to dominate their battlefields by enabling leaders to fulfill their purpose: lead and win.

The books are a fun read especially if you like military strategy, but their lessons could be boiled down considerably. Disciplined procedures must be balanced with the ability to apply common sense to an issue, with the power to break with SOPs when necessary, with the freedom to think about alternative solutions, apply new ideas, and make adjustments to processes based on the reality of what is actually happening. There are many concepts in this book that can be applied to leaders of any kind, whether it be a leader in battle, of a sports team, of a business or even of a family. With absolutely no question about who is on the hook, managers are deeply incentivized to lean hard into a project, work closely with teams to meet (or exceed) defined goals and celebrate the wins on the other side.When leaders who epitomize Extreme Ownership drive their teams to achieve a higher standard of performance, they must recognize that when it comes to standards, as a leader, it’s not what you preach, it’s what you tolerate. The board members will be impressed with what they see and hear, because most people are unable to do this. It falls on leaders to continually keep perspective on the strategic mission and remind the team that they are part of the greater team and the strategic mission is paramount. With a culture of Extreme Ownership within the team, every member of the team could contribute to this effort and ensure the highest levels of performance.
