Detailed description:
“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 best-selling 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 it’s 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.

Très bon livre. Comme toujours avec amazon, l’emballage n’est pas soigné. Le livre est légèrement abîmé avec des morceaux de litière entre les pages ?

Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win (New Edition) by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin is a powerful guide to leadership, drawing on the authors’ experiences as U.S. Navy SEALs. The book is built around the core principle of “extreme ownership,” where leaders take full responsibility for everything in their sphere of influence.
Willink and Babin skillfully connect battlefield lessons to business and life, offering practical strategies that can be applied in any leadership context. Each chapter pairs a real-life combat story with its corresponding business application, making the concepts both compelling and easy to understand.
The new edition adds even more depth, with additional insights and refined concepts that enhance the book’s already robust content. Whether you’re leading a team or looking to improve your personal accountability, Extreme Ownership provides actionable advice that can lead to transformative results.
This book is a must-read for anyone serious about becoming a better leader, with lessons that resonate far beyond the military.

Jocko & Leif offer a compelling, no-nonsense leadership approach in Extreme Ownership, based on their real-world combat experience as U.S. Navy SEAL officers. The book presents a powerful framework for embracing 100% ownership and accountability for the actions of your team, whether they result in success or failure (even if it means getting fired). They emphasize how to turn failures into growth rather than blaming yourself, others or any other external factors. They also describe how “the best leaders are not driven by ego or personal agendas [but] are simply focused on the mission and how to best accomplish it.”
Each chapter starts off with description of a real-world combat scenario followed by an explanation of “principle” i.e. what they learned / how their leadership developed as result of that scenario and ends with an “application to business” section in which Jocko or Leif explain how they helped company executive(s) tackle a similar leadership challenge in the corporate world (through their consulting business, Echelon Front).
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Always acknowledge mistakes and admit failures, take ownership & establish a game plan to WIN.
• “No bad teams, only bad leaders” because “leadership is the single greatest factor in any team’s performance [and] the leader’s attitude sets the tone for the entire team.”
• Check your ego; humble leadership builds trust. Be confident not cocky… nobody is too good to fail.
• Prioritize and execute through the fog of war to focus on the highest priority tasks (first) that maximize mission impact.
• Decentralized command – trust & empower junior leaders to make decisions and take ownership of those decisions. Allows senior leaders to focus on the big picture.
• Every team member must understand the commander’s intent, overall mission, and their role in it. They shouldn’t always be asking the why behind the team’s actions.
• “Remember: the enemy gets a vote.” Never take anything for granted or assume positive outcomes. Plan and prepare for contingencies.
• Leading UP and down the chain. If your team is not performing or your supervisor is not understanding, check yourself first. You are responsible for communicating simply, clearly and concisely to ensure they understand. Don’t expect people to read your mind.
Extreme Ownership is a must-read for anyone striving to become a more disciplined, decisive, and selfless leader who intends to maximize the potential of their team. Jocko & Leif’s straightforward advice and real-life examples make their book a valuable resource for leaders at all levels (in any industry).

Even though I am well into my senior years my voracious reading passion is as strong as ever, especially if it has anything to do with the U.S. Navy SEALS. Whether it is their superior fitness programs, realistic combat techniques, great swimming methods, warrior philosophy or their fantastic leadership principles, I have attempted to read everything I could find about these Special Forces Warriors. This is why when I saw this fantastic 322-page hardcover edition of (Extreme Ownership: How the U.S. Navy SEALS lead and win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin) on Amazon I had to purchase it.
This is the kind of leadership book that once you begin to read it; it is difficult to put down. This book explains how the SEAL leadership training principles apply not just to combat situations, but these same rules apply to business success and just living a full and productive life.
The basic philosophical principle is simple really, but like everything in life, “the devil is in the details.” “Extreme ownership” as the combat experienced authors define it, is not making excuses and blaming mistakes made on everyone else, but taking full and complete responsibility when they are the assigned to lead their men and women.
I found it interesting in this book how some so-called business leaders seem to refuse to accept the “extreme ownership” philosophy and stubbornly kept blaming everything and everyone else. In my experience, as both a regular Navy veteran, and a retired law enforcement officer, good leaders lead from the front and take full responsibility for their decisions.
I love the way the authors provided examples taken from their actual combat experiences to show the importance of good leadership decisions, and they show how these very principles apply to business problems. The three parts in this excellent book covers the following: “Winning the war within, laws of combat, and sustaining victory.” There are also several very interesting color and black and white photographs included in this volume.
If you are willing to face reality when it comes to taking complete responsibility in your leadership role this is a book that should be your reference source. I have read numerous other books on leadership principles, and this is one of the best ones I have read in decades.
If you are blessed (or some might say cursed) with the responsibility of leading people, this book should be in your personal library as a reference and inspiring source.
Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tactical Principles of the most effective Combative Systems).

Es buen libro y de buen material

Of course, I liked it. The book was written by two great men who earned the right to wear the SEAL insignia. They wrote this book for us who didn’t earn the right to wear the SEAL insignia. Let us be thankful for the brief, concise, and exact pieces of advice how to act or think when we face a challenge.
Their wisdom came from the horrible battlefield, but the lessons can be applied in our civil life.

Just as the seals SOP of communication, this book is concise and easy to understand, as well as extremely informative!
