Extreme Ownership: Leadership Lessons from U.S. Navy SEALs

Two U.S. Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War demonstrate in Extreme Ownership how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life. An updated edition of the blockbuster bestselling leadership audiobook that took America and the world by storm, this work shows that 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 crucial factor in whether a team succeeds or fails.

After leaving the SEAL Teams, Willink and Babin launched a company, Echelon Front, to teach those same leadership principles to leaders in businesses, companies, and organizations across the civilian sector. 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.

These individuals bring the same intensity and fire to their narration in the audiobook version. Listeners will be captivated as insanely competent SEAL officers share firsthand experiences from business and combat, providing a step-by-step guide on exactly how to build a successful team.
