I had to read this book for work. The lessons in the book were really good for improving as a leader. However, I just personally am not into this genre, so I could not give it a better rating.
What I got most out of this book was the final chapter on how to be a good leader. I wasn’t always able to find the relevancy of Jocko and Leif’s anecdotes. It makes for an entertaining read though. The explanation of the application to business in each chapter was not elaborated enough in my opinion

Loved the narrative of this book. I have so much respect for any military service duty and these guys are the real deal! Their stories of war and full of courage and bravery. Their writing can be great for anyone working in teams or are leaders of large business corporations. I found this not so applicable to other areas of my life.

I can easily see why this is a popular choice for business people. There is a lot of merit to the concept of extreme ownership. When people have an active part in their workplace, it's inevitable that they will work harder, better, more diligently.
What I didn't particularly like is how it's being used in my current workplace - because they only took certain elements of the book to apply to us. Extreme ownership needs to work at all levels of the organization if it's to work, not just on the ground level.
The concept is good, if implemented in full - not piecemeal. Call me jaded, call me a skeptic, but I've not seen this be utilized at all levels - blame still often sits on those that are left to implement all things the corporate overlords dictate. Honestly, if more people better understood this concept - it might work out better for more organizations.
