Leadership isn’t about rank, ego, or shouting orders—it’s about taking responsibility. In Extreme Ownership, U.S. Navy SEAL commanders Jocko Willink and Leif Babin share the combat-tested principles that helped them lead their teams through some of the deadliest battles in Iraq—and later transform the way businesses and organizations around the world operate.
In this episode, we unpack how lessons from the battlefield translate into the boardroom: from taking full ownership of failures, to trusting your team through Decentralized Command, to mastering the balance between discipline and freedom. You’ll learn why true leaders never blame others, never make excuses, and always find a way to win—together.
Because leadership, like combat, is simple but not easy.
