"Once people stop making excuses, stop blaming others, and take ownership of everything in their lives, they are compelled to take action to solve their problems."
"Taking ownership for mistakes and failures is hard, but doing so is key to learning to develop solutions, and ultimately, victory."
"Simple, but not easy."
"There are no bad teams, only bad leaders."
Leaders have to confidently believe in the actions to reach the goal. This allows them to take any necessary risks to overcome obstacles and win. Asking why can take courage and is essential.
"Control your ego. Don't let it control you."
"Keep it (the plan) simple"

It was really good, and a hard pill to swallow for sure. I appreciate the message, but it did get kind of repetitive after a while. But I understand why. What is being said needs to be hammered in- it's a hard message to hear and it would be convenient to ignore.
Ultimately, even though currently I'm not in a leadership position, I do now have more empathy for those above me. I see why they sometimes micromanage, or say the same thing over and over again. I also now know better how to help my leaders. We can put the onus on those in charge all the live long day, but I have to be willing to hear them out and be on their side.

This is awesome! Jacko Willink and Leif Babin provide proven techniques with real-life experience in the most extreme situations. This is a must for anyone who wants to understand the Lean Agile mindset. The terms Jacko and Leif use may be different than what you see in Lean and Agile, but the concepts are exactly the same. Regardless of what you call it, Extreme Ownership embodies the Agile Manifesto and the pillars and values of Lean.
Heard on audiobook by the authors. An excellent leadership book with practical applications to work and life. I didn’t always connect with the stories from the marine experience in Iraq, but when they described the principles they were making, it was worthwhile.
