19. Living Life With Extreme Ownership: How Navy SEALs Lead And Win

The Unlimited Potential Show I Relatable Self Development

Imagine this, your team at work lets something falls through the cracks, it’s a big responsibility that failed because of miscommunication. When your higher-ups ask what happened will you tell them that a certain employee failed, that another group didn’t meet your deadline, or will you as the leader take the blame?

Today on the Unlimited Potential Show we take a deep dive into Jocko Willink and Leif Babin’s book “Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead And Win” and what it takes to become a truly great leader who grows and supports those below them. We talk about the importance of ownership and how it can tear down a victim mindset setting you up for true freedom and control over your life. As leaders, managers, and even employees taking responsibility for everything in your life can bring better more detailed communication that will upgrade your career, relationships, and goals!

We discuss some key characteristics of extreme ownership that both Jocko and Leif talk about within their book and how they apply to your everyday life. With astounding imagery and some intense stories from their time in the Navy SEALs you’ll understand exactly what they mean when they talk about the importance of shouldering the blame, choosing the right thing to do, detailing communication, and even going so far as to making sure your intentions are communicated as well.
