When a leader knows they cannot blame anyone or anything else, they will implement what I call ‘preemptive ownership’—they will take ownership of things to prevent problems from unfolding in the first place…
Ownership isn’t just about taking responsibility when mistakes happen; the highest form of Extreme Ownership takes place preemptively, before the mistakes occur.
An effective leader knows they can’t blame an inexperienced team member who is working on a critical part of a project. They will make the extra effort to train that team member, check in with them frequently, and make sure that they are on track to be successful. These actions prevent critical errors before they even happen.
