Description
Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win, written by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, distills battlefield leadership lessons into a practical framework for high-performance teams and individuals. First published in 2015, the book argues that success and failure alike rest on one principle: leaders must own everything in their world.
Drawing from real combat missions and business case studies, the authors show how accountability, clear communication, and disciplined execution translate across environments. Rather than excuses or blame, Extreme Ownership emphasizes ownership, simplicity, and relentless improvement as the foundations of winning.
The book is widely adopted by executives, entrepreneurs, military leaders, coaches, and teams seeking a no-nonsense approach to leadership and performance under pressure.
