Extreme Ownership
Reading about how the US Navy SEALs operated in Iraq, specifically during the Battle of Ramadi. It was one of the most dangerous and deadliest places in Iraq.
Alongside U.S. Army and Marine units, and Iraqi security forces, they managed to take back control over it and reduce terrorist influence.
The book is called âExtreme Ownership.â
And thatâs the core principle behind all their operations and is a foundation for other principles.
The veterans (authors) extracted lessons from their wins and losses on the battlefield and showed how you can apply them to business, life, and different situations.
Damn, I canât unsee it anymore. I made a lot of progress in taking ownership for my actions, but I still from time to time blame my circumstances and others. That is not how you win. It is time for a change.
