Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink & Leif Babin


It is a little hard to get past the testosterone haze and combat metaphors but the concepts are  applicable to leadership in very many contexts, including business & work.  3/5 Stars. Interestingly a few indirect messages emerge from their battle examples:  
1 - The authors disrespect the Iraqi military elements allied to the USA
2 - The authors have great respect for the "Muj" (Mujahidenn مجاهدين‎) against whom they fought, despite hating the Muj's barbarity, brutality.
