Episode #5 - Extreme Ownership; when everyone's a Leader with Sriharsha B (1h, 18m)

Let's say that you were on a vacation and the day you returned you found out that your team has made the biggest blunder in the history of your organisation. You're to meet the Senior Leadership in an hour to explain what went wrong and possibly point the one who should take the fall for it. You spend enough time understanding what went wrong and even identify who was responsible for it and now you're in front of the senior leadership. But when they ask who's fault it was, you take the blame on yourself. The senior leadership is surprised how it could be you since you just returned from your vacation to which you say, it's your team and their actions are your accountability and you're ready to face any consequences that come off it. Now that's extreme! This and many more unconventional actions is what Sriharsha and discussed in this podcast.
