Today’s book: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin—a hard-hitting guide to leadership and life from two Navy SEALs who teach us that great leaders take complete responsibility—for everything.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Own everything in your world. No blaming, no excuses. If it happened on your watch, it’s your responsibility to fix it.
- Leadership starts with humility. Drop the ego. Listen. Learn. Adjust.
- There are no bad teams, only bad leaders. Your mindset, example, and standards set the tone for everyone around you.
- Cover and move. Success is a team effort. Support others and align your actions to the mission—not your pride.
- Discipline equals freedom. Routines, structure, and accountability give you control—and long-term results.
You’re in charge of your life. What’s one area where you can take more ownership—starting today?
