The Laws of Combat in Leadership - Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin
When it comes to working as a team to accomplish a mission, these four principles work from the battlefield to the boardroom.
Key Principles:
Alignment: Cover and move as a team to accomplish the mission.
Clarity: Keep the plan simple enough for everyone to communicate it.
Priority: Execute on the most important strategic objectives first.
Empowerment: Decentralize command to let everyone make decisions.
Quote This:
It is crucial, particularly for leaders at the top of the organization, to "pull themselves off the firing line," step back, and maintain the strategic picture. - Leif Babin
