The moment i saw the title of this book, i dropped what I was reading to pick this up. Ownership is my favourite value and the book didn't disappoint.The book shares several leadership principles by two navy SEALs who saved in Iraq. They share stories, then the principle and go into a live business case.The secret sauce: At the end of the day whatever natural talents you are born with, if you display extreme ownership, you can succeed as a leader

Pros:1. It's a fun insight into SEAL ops, the level of detail that is focused on, and the kind of risks they take2. Easy to readCons:1. As far as business knowledge goes, it is just extremely basic common sense. The useful business knowledge portion of this book could have been summed up in 2 lines. "Take ownership of your actions, work as a team, and try and assist others to succeed, so you can also succeed".2. In many instances, it seems the authors are desperately trying to fit their experiences into a business takeaway. The stretch sometimes is too much.Had this been just a book on SEAL ops, it would have been a fun read. The contorted twists into trying to accommodate lessons from the battlefield into business takeaways detract from the book. And the business scenarios laid out, where they merely give advice seems rather superficial and shallow.

A book every leader should read

The title says it all. It really helps you reevaluate your leadership and how you approach situations in life personal or professional. This book is a total game changer.

Esse é um livro de cabeceira para líderes ou futuros líderes. Quem realmente quer ser um líder de alta performance, deveria ler esse livro.

Es buen libro y de buen material

Très bon livre. Comme toujours avec amazon, l'emballage n'est pas soigné. Le livre est légèrement abîmé avec des morceaux de litière entre les pages ?
