Extreme Ownership
Leadership is the most important thing on the battlefield
Battle-tested concepts of combat leadership that directly correlate to all leadership situations on and off the battlefield. We don’t teach theory learned in a classroom. We teach tried, tested, and proven combat leadership principles and strategies learned on the front line of the war on terror.
Discipline Equals Freedom
The Dichotomy of Leadership
The key to effective leadership is balance. Leaders will constantly be faced with opposing forces that must be balanced in order to succeed. We discuss how to identify and constantly make adjustments to those opposing forces to lead every member of you team effectively.
The Laws of Combat
Dominate Your Battlefield, Lead and Win
The laws of combat were learned on the battlefield of Ramadi, but they apply everywhere. Whether in business. Personal, or life implementing the four laws of combat are required to succeed. Cover and Move, Simple, Prioritize and Execute, and Decentralized Command: the are the laes that lead to winning.
