Extreme Leadership

in leadership •  7 years ago 

If you are in a leadership position or think you would like to be I highly recommend you read this book, listen to the podcast (www.jockopodcast.com) and attend their leadership conference (www.extremeownership.com).

Just a few of the maxims that resonated with me include:

  1. You have to lead yourself first before you can lead others

  2. You have to be a good follower to be a good leader

  3. This mnemonic which can be recalled and applied daily

         **CHAOS** Laws of Combat Leadership
    

Cover and Move: Teamwork trumps individual effort

Humility: Continuous learning and improvement requires a humble mindset

Aggressive: Proactively and repeatedly seek to surface and solve problems

Ownership: Take responsibility for whatever goes wrong and credit others for success

Simplify: Prioritize and execute on whatever is in your control
