An updated edition of the blockbuster bestselling leadership book that took America and the world by storm, two U.S. Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life. Sent to the most violent battlefield in Iraq, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin’s SEAL task unit faced a seemingly impossible mission: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a city deemed “all but lost.” In gripping firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories in SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, 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 that helped forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After departing the SEAL Teams, they launched Echelon Front, a company that teaches these same leadership principles to businesses and organizations. From promising startups to Fortune 500 companies, Babin and Willink have helped scores of clients across a broad range of industries build their own high-performance teams and dominate their battlefields. Now, detailing the mind-set and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult missions in combat, Extreme Ownership shows how to apply them to any team, family or organization. Each chapter focuses on a specific topic such as Cover and Move, Decentralized Command, and Leading Up the Chain, explaining what they are, why they are important, and how to implement them in any leadership environment. A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership revolutionizes business management and challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead and win.

THE INSTANT #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of Extreme Ownership comes a revolutionary approach to help leaders recognize and attain the leadership balance crucial to victory. More than three million readers of Extreme Ownership learned to apply combat-proven leadership lessons from authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. Now, in the new edition of the sequel, Willink and Babin dive deeper into the most challenging aspect of leading people: The Dichotomy of Leadership. This most difficult—and essential— element of leadership requires finding the balance between the forces that pull at every leader in opposite directions. Humbling lessons learned in combat and in teaching leadership to the next generation of SEAL leaders, highlighted for the authors with crystal clarity what works and what doesn’t. As leadership consultants to over 1600 companies and organizations across the U.S. and multiple countries, they have worked with thousands of leaders across the full spectrum of industries in the business world. Through dynamic examples from their combat and training experiences in the SEAL Teams and vignettes from the business arena, Willink and Babin demonstrate how each leadership concept applies on the battlefield, in business, and in life. With a new Foreword and Q&A section, this revised edition of Dichotomy provides the crucial insight and awareness necessary for leaders to understand when to lead and when to follow, when to focus and when to detach, when to tighten the reins and when to let the team run, when to aggressively maneuver and when to be prudent. In The Dichotomy of Leadership, the authors deliver a book that rivals Extreme Ownership with life-changing guidance that should be essential reading for every leader and every team for generations. Understanding how to maintain balance enables leaders to most effectively lead, accomplish their mission, and achieve the ultimate goal of every team: Victory.

A new, tenth anniversary edition of the leadership classic that was hailed as one of the 100 Best Business Books of All Time.

Farber's modern parable begins on a sunny California beach where he has a strange and unexpected encounter with a surfer named Edg. Despite his unassuming appearance, the enigmatic Edg seems to know an awful lot about leadership and this brief interaction propels Steve into an unforgettable journey. Along the way, he learns about Extreme Leadership--and what it means to take the Radical Leap: Cultivate Love Generate Energy Inspire Audacity Provide Proof Geared to people at any level who aspire to change things for the better, The Radical Leap is creating legions of Extreme Leaders in business, education, non-profits and beyond.

Leadership is a curious topic. It is most noted in its absence and most measured by its need. Leadership requires opportunity. Leadership is driven by the situation; what worked in one situation may be disastrous in another. It requires skills to be able to direct the challenge at hand. Leadership is both an art and a science. It is theoretical and applied, cultural and contextual. Most importantly, leadership is about accomplishment and results. Let's face it; talking about leadership is tough and, in many ways, counter-intuitive. Many people want to be leaders and some people prefer to follow a leader; but followers want to follow not just any leader, they want to follow a great leader. Business leadership textbooks often focus on the process and theory of leadership. Not what it is but what it looks like or what it has accomplished. Terms like "neo-charismatic" and "non-hierarchical cross-culture participator" are used. Pictures are drawn showing pyramids and "leadership process flows" with colored boxes containing "value-risk qualifiers." I have even read in textbooks that leadership is a dated concept, and today, it is the social environment and individual "zones of comfort" that produce accomplishments. Mumbo-jumbo! I believe if you want to have the things that great people have, you have to do the things great people do. The single most identifiable characteristic of successful people is that they are successful leaders. This is why Mr. Patton developed the term Extreme Leadership for this book and why the book focuses more on extreme examples than process flows and models. Charles' writing style is straight-ahead, and his content lays it out as it is. This book is designed as a supplement to graduate-level leadership courses. However, it is also very readable and interesting, and applicable to all aspects of life. This book sends the important message that It is okay to lead; it is okay to be a leader. It is also okay to follow. And that anyone who wants to lead can learn to lead. Hopefully, after reading this book and thinking about the case studies, you will have a rounded view of leadership, start to see when opportunities are presented, and be able to leverage them for your own leadership successes.

The proper balance of managerial “administrative-control” and managerial “team-leadership” depends upon the work context. After organizational procedures are designed by work-process engineers, managers and their directreports in the business units, are charged to “save our ship” (SOS) by their employers. Their ships, their business units, often were built for calm seas. Unfortunately, turbulent seas may happen unexpectedly and stress their ships and crews. Under extreme conditions, the sea may put their ships squarely in “harm’s way”. If they are not well prepared, their chances of survival are few and none. This book is about managing and being managed under conditions of “extreme contexts” where only the “special teams” survive and prosper.

In this expanded edition of the 2017 mega-bestseller, updated with brand new sections like DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, SUGAR COATED LIES and DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH WEAKNESS, readers will discover new ways to become stronger, smarter, and healthier. Jocko Willink's methods for success were born in the SEAL Teams, where he spent most of his adult life, enlisting after high school and rising through the ranks to become the commander of the most highly decorated special operations unit of the war in Iraq. In Discipline Equals Freedom, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Extreme Ownership describes how he lives that mantra: the mental and physical disciplines he imposes on himself in order to achieve freedom in all aspects of life. Many books offer advice on how to overcome obstacles and reach your goals--but that advice often misses the most critical ingredient: discipline. Without discipline, there will be no real progress. Discipline Equals Freedom covers it all, including strategies and tactics for conquering weakness, procrastination, and fear, and specific physical training presented in workouts for beginner, intermediate, and advanced athletes, and even the best sleep habits and food intake recommended to optimize performance. FIND YOUR WILL, FIND YOUR DISCIPLINE--AND YOU WILL FIND YOUR FREEDOM

Too many people assume the timeless principles of true leadership—of helping others achieve their full potential—don’t apply Monday through Friday during work hours or in any circumstance where a paycheck is involved. In GREATER THAN YOURSELF, Steve Farber proves them wrong: in this powerful and inspiring story, Farber shows that the goal of a genuine leader is to help others—teammates, employees, and colleagues—become more capable, confident, and accomplished than they are themselves. Through the actions of a forward-thinking and extraordinarily successful CEO, Farber reveals the three keys to achieving this: Expand Yourself, Give Yourself, and Replicate Yourself. This new edition includes a special afterword by UCSD’s Dr Alan Daly and Neville Billimoria featuring the social science behind the concept of Greater Than Yourself. Filled with actionable principles and innovative ideas, GREATER THAN YOURSELF is perhaps the most powerful message today’s business leaders can learn.
