"These guys are intense. And they bring that same fire to their
narration in the audiobook. Listen to these insanely competent SEAL
officers tell you exactly how to make a team successful through their
firsthand experiences in business and combat." - The Hustle
An updated edition of the blockbuster bestselling leadership audiobook
that took America and the world by storm, two U.S. Navy SEAL officers
who led the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq
War demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the
battlefield to business and life.
Combat, the most intense and dynamic environment imaginable, teaches the
toughest leadership lessons, with absolutely everything at stake. Jocko
Willink and Leif Babin learned this reality first-hand on the most
violent and dangerous battlefield in Iraq. As leaders of SEAL Team
Three's Task Unit Bruiser, their mission was one many thought
impossible: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a violent, insurgent-held
city deemed "all but lost." In gripping, firsthand accounts of heroism,
tragic loss, and hard-won victories, 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 to pass on their harsh lessons learned in combat to
help forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After leaving the SEAL
Teams, they launched a company, Echelon Front, to teach those same
leadership principles to leaders in businesses, companies, and
organizations across the civilian sector. Since that time, they have
trained countless leaders and worked with hundreds of companies in
virtually every industry across the U.S. and internationally, teaching
them how to develop their own high-performance teams and most
effectively lead those teams to dominate their battlefields.
Since its release in October 2015, Extreme Ownership has
revolutionized leadership development and set a new standard for
literature on the subject. Required listening for many of the most
successful organizations, it has become an integral part of the official
leadership training programs for scores of business teams, military
units, and first responders. Detailing the mindset and principles that
enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult combat missions,
Extreme Ownership demonstrates how to apply them to any team or
organization, in any leadership environment. A compelling narrative with
powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership
challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead
and win.
