Military leaders train to deal with matters that are life or death, and in many cases the only option other than success is unthinkable. For military leaders, “extreme” is serious-dead serious, and literally so. The authors of Extreme Ownership, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, are former Navy SEALs who reframed their elite military training and experience as pragmatic advice for how to be more effective in work and life. And that complement is “extreme accountability.” However, there is a complement to “extreme ownership” that may be neglected-a twin sibling that should be just as important to leaders who care about their goals and their relationships with those who will help achieve them.
“Extreme Whatever” is mere hype most of the time (what exactly would an “extreme pizza” taste like?), but a recent book titled Extreme Ownership is worth your time if you want to re-think your approach to getting business results.
Derived from Latin, “extreme” means “the utmost” or “to the highest degree.” Frequent use of this adjective may reflect our hyperbolic social-media culture-or maybe just the fact that the word is fun to say.
