Great book. I learned a lot from it even as a person who doesn't have direct reports.
There are a few chapters that feel redundant with one another, particularly in the last three chapters.
Still a worthwhile read

This book is 80% war stories, 20% very basic leadership lessons. There's nothing in here that I couldn't get from every other book on leadership. The book is dripping in machismo and a very black and white pro-military world-view.

The way Willink and Babin mirror key leadership principles in both combat and business situations alike made this an engaging read from start to finish. Outlining the principles using their experience in Ramadi draws you in through the intense life-or-death combat situations they faced before really solidifying the principle and explaining it as it applies to leadership in the business world. At times, it felt like they would repeat themselves a little too often (get to the point already!), but it didn't take away from the importance or relevance of their leadership principles.
Having read Jocko before I knew a bit of what to expect. Clear stories. Clear lessons. Application in life.
The tremendous part of their system is how easy it is to understand and implement. The benefits can be as instant as you like of course.
Ownership and leadership will often conjure images of strong leaders, rousing speeches etc but the real success here is self growth.
Personally and professionally.
Ownership means no lies.
It can be uncomfortable but it's worth it.
