Description:
Extreme Ownership shows how to apply the mind-set and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult missions in combat to any team, family or organization.
A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership revolutionizes business management and challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead and win.
My opinion:
A book which changed my perspective on my own actions and decisions - I am responsible for me. No finger pointing, but rather taking on the responsibility and adjusting to the situation.
