Extreme Ownership was a book that was originally on the MIT Bootcamp reading list, but I noticed that it was removed from the most recent list. I am not sure why because the book is pretty good. Listening to the book, because I went with the Audible version, straight after Made to Stick was interesting because Extreme Ownership told a lot of stories. But the stories were told with a purpose, and you understood the importance of extreme ownership.

I was going to write a bit more, but I think I’ll let one of the authors speak for himself by putting his TEDx talk. But the big take away is that don’t play the blame game. Take responsibility and act decisively. But that is not to say you have to keep malfunctioning parts around. But it is your job to remove, replace or support to improve members of your team who are not performing. So yes, another book I would recommend!
