Resumen del Editor

"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.

I don't read SEAL Books...

As a veteran, I hold a strong resentment for the unabashed self promotion of the SEAL community. This however is one of my favorite books, period. I am glad I set my ego aside and gave it a chance. This book contains all the best points of a capable combat leader, and many points are hidden within main points as well. I recommend this book to all people, regardless of their profession.

Taking Responsibility

The authors showed how to take ownership of any situation and improve the expected outcome. They also applied the principles to business. Really well done.

One of the best Mindset books out there

This book is one of the first books I read when I started trying to level up in life. The principals that Jocko and Leif discuss in this book have truly laid the cornerstones of the massive amount of person growth I have been able to achieve! 10/10 recommend!

This book is Awesome

I was looking for a good book in regards to operating my business at a higher level. I downloaded a few but I really got the most out of this one. These guys are amazing and I can not wait to listen to their next book!

Great content - minor audio quality issue

The content is great. I liked the format of story then application to business.

I had a minor issue with the quality of the audio. Unsure of others will have the same issues or not. The problem was that through the entire book there were moments of scratchiness that made a word or two difficult to understand. It seemed like a digital problem with the recording.

salute

Great book and real examples to be used in personal and professional life. Only issue I had was a lot of voice clipping, mostly when Jacko spoke throughout book. Heard on it iPhone, Android and laptop.

Excellent Book,

The preview and the intro come off as braggy and like a sales pitch, BUT then it gets good! Stick with it and you will be impressed.

Revolutionary for those Willing to Grow

I rarely give 100% (5-stars) to virtually anything. I save it for tools, materials, and businesses that ACTUALLY stand out. This book done that in so many ways.

The stories are compelling and the lessons are very practical and easy to execute for the humble. The challenge is dropped and I’ve get encouraged is most any way possible to “get on it”. Amazing material!!!
