Why Should I Follow The Principles of Extreme Ownership?

Leif Babin:

At the end of the day, there's what works and there's what doesn't work. So extreme ownership is not just some flavor of the week or flavor of the month of a book that was read, or like, "Hey, I like these principles." It doesn't even matter to us. If you use the terms extreme ownership, if you use the laws of combat, none of that actually matters, there's actually what works and there's what doesn't work. If you're going to cast blame, if you're going to make excuses, if you're going to point fingers, you're never going to actually get problem solved. So if you can take these principles and apply them in your life, they'll change every aspect of your life. They'll change your leadership opportunities in business, and as you apply them to yourself, you're going to actually be able to make yourself better and grow as a person and you'll make everybody else around you better.

Jocko Willink:

At this juncture we've had the opportunity to teach these principles to thousands and thousands and thousands of people in leadership positions, and what we've seen over and over and over again is those leaders taking these principles, applying them inside their organization, and vastly improving the productivity, the efficiency, the effectiveness of their team and of their organization. These principles work. It's been proven over and over again. So if you want to improve your team, if you want to improve your business, if you want to improve your station in life, take these principles and apply them in your world and you will see improvement.
