Lead, Read, Repeat Book Club: Extreme Ownership
Leadership comes in many forms, we can be leaders of self, leaders of teams, or leaders of organizations. Leadership skills may come more naturally to some and more difficult to others, but there is always an opportunity for additional development. In this book club we will focus on books to expand our minds, learn something new and become better leaders. Whatever your leadership position, this book club will focus on impacting your relationships with others. This book club will meet 4 times a year.
Our December book is "Extreme Ownership" by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin.
From the jacket: "Combat, the most intense and dynamic environment imaginable, teaches the toughest leadership lessons, with absolutely everything at stake. Jocko Willink and Leif Babin learned this reality first-hand on the most violent and dangerous battlefield in Iraq. As leaders of SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, their mission was one many thought impossible: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a violent, insurgent-held city deemed “all but lost.” In gripping, firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories, they learned that leadership—at every level—is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails.
Willink and Babin returned home from deployment and instituted SEAL leadership training to pass on their harsh lessons learned in combat to help forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After leaving the SEAL Teams, they launched a company, Echelon Front, to teach those same leadership principles to leaders in businesses, companies, and organizations across the civilian sector. Since that time, they have trained countless leaders and worked with hundreds of companies in virtually every industry across the U.S. and internationally, teaching them how to develop their own high-performance teams and most effectively lead those teams to dominate their battlefields."
