The #1 New York Times bestseller
"An incredible book... you teach guys and gals about leadership and you've helped not only military guys but families." - Megyn Kelly
"You show in the book how to motivate... thanks for writing the book Extreme Ownership." Bill O'Reilly
"[Jocko] is the co-author of an incredible new book - which I've been loving. Trust me. Buy it." - Tim Ferriss
"This is a life-learning lesson for everyone... the book is awesome." - Sean Hannity
Sent to the most violent battlefield in Iraq, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin’s SEAL task unit faced a seemingly impossible mission: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a city deemed “all but lost.” In gripping firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories in SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, 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 that helped forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After departing the SEAL Teams, they launched Echelon Front, a company that teaches these same leadership principles to businesses and organizations. From promising startups to Fortune 500 companies, Babin and Willink have helped scores of clients across a broad range of industries build their own high-performance teams and dominate their battlefields.
Now, detailing the mind-set and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult missions in combat, Extreme Ownership shows how to apply them to any team, family or organization. Each chapter focuses on a specific topic such as Cover and Move, Decentralized Command, and Leading Up the Chain, explaining what they are, why they are important, and how to implement them in any leadership environment.
A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership revolutionizes business management and challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead and win.

The book is structured in a very basic and clear way. The authors convey one main point per chapter by sharing a story from their battlefield experiences, then highlighting the main principle of that story, and finally giving a concrete example of how this principle applies in business settings.
Their main points can be summarized as follows:
(*) The leader is always responsible. (This is what they call "extreme ownership." Basically, leaders must always "own" the mistakes and shortcomings of their teams.)
(*) Everyone on the team must believe in the mission.
(*) Work with other teams to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.
(*) Keep plans simple, clear, and concise.
(*) Check your ego.
(*) Figure out your priorities, and then act on them one at a time.
(*) Clarify your mission (i.e., your plan).
(*) Engage with your higher-ups; keep them in the loop--especially when they frustrate you.
(*) Act decisively, even when things are chaotic.
(*) And the last chapter is a summary of the seemingly contradictory qualities of a leader.
In my opinion, the simplicity, clarity, and structure of this book are it's greatest strengths. I knew exactly where the authors were going with their points, and I understood exactly the message they were trying to communicate. The book is incredibly easy to follow.
I bought Extreme Ownership a few days ago and this book quickly became a must read for any red-blooded human being. I quickly felt permanently indebted to our armed forces brothers and sisters. Next, I felt the daily resistance we all experience is a product of not being properly trained to handle adversity. This book is the boot camp for holding yourself accountable for your actions and taking extreme ownership of any situation. Once the ego is extinguished, and we allow ourselves to accept fault, we can take the first step of situation evaluation, to focus 100% of effort toward a resolution. This simple approach serves as a tool to gain respect and in turn gain the trust of those involved and win at any challenge. To manage people, you MUST first manage yourself.
We are not perfect. We are not programmed to know everything, but we can learn to evaluate experience and learn from said experiences, to write and rewrite the SOPs of our active management system to the best of our abilities.
