Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win

Sent to the most dangerous battlefield in Iraq, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin's SEAL task unit faced a daunting enemy, pre-insurgency Ramadi, and the challenge of uniting feuding tribal elements. Through those trials, they developed the principle of Extreme Ownership — the mindset and leadership principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult missions in combat.

Now, they teach those same leadership principles to America's top organizations. With chapters alternating between gripping combat narratives and the application of core leadership concepts, Extreme Ownership demonstrates how the SEAL leadership doctrine—if implemented in business, teams, and families—will enable anyone to succeed and win.
