LESSONS
FROM THIS
BOOK

4. LEADERS EMBRACE
EXTREME
OWNERSHIP
LESSON
1
“On any team, in any organization, all responsibility for success and failure rests
with the leader. The leader must own everything in his or her world. There is no
one else to blame. The leader must acknowledge mistakes and admit failures, take
ownership of them, and develop a plan to win.”

5. THERE ARE NO BAD
TEAM, ONLY A BAD
LEADERS
LESSON
2
"Leadership is the single greatest factor in any team's performance. Whether a
team succeeds or fails is all up to the leader. The leader's attitude sets the tone for
the entire team. The leader drives performance or doesn't."

6. MISSION
CLARITY
LESSON
3
"Actions and words reflect belief, with a clear confidence and self-assuredness
that is not possible when belief is in doubt."

7. KEEP YOUR
EGO IN CHECK
LESSON
4
"Ego clouds and disrupts everything: the planning process, the ability to take
good advice, and the ability to accept constructive criticism.”

8. ACT DECISIVELY,
COVER AND
MOVE.
LESSON
5
“In the SEAL teams we taught teams to act decisively, my default setting should be
aggressive. Proactive rather than reactive. Instead of the situation dictating our
decisions, we dictated the situation. “

9. SIMPLICITY AND
CLARITY
LESSON
6

10. PRIORITZE AND
EXECUTE
LESSON
7
"Even the most competent of leaders can be overwhelmed if they try to tackle
multiple problems or a number of tasks simultaneously. The team will likely fail
at each of those tasks. Instead, leaders must determine the highest priority task
and execute. Prioritize and Execute."

11. DECENTRALIZED
COMMAND
LESSON
8
"The best teams employ constant analysis of their tactics and measure their
effectiveness so that they can adapt their methods and implement lessons learned
for future missions."

12. MANAGE UP AND
MANAGE DOWN
LESSON
9
"If your boss isn't making a decision in a timely manner or providing necessary
support for you and your team, don't blame the boss. First, blame yourself.
Examine what you can do to better convey the critical information for decision to
be made and support allocated."

13. DISCIPLINE
EQUALS
FREEDOM
LESSON
10
"Instead of making us more rigid and unable to improvise, this discipline actually
made us more flexible, more adaptable, and more efficient. It allowed us to be
creative . When we wanted to change plans midstream on an operation we didn't
have to recreate an entire plan. We had the freedom to work within the
framework of our disciplined procedures."
