Mythos

Leif Babin is a former U.S. Navy 🏷️#seal officer and co-author, with πŸ“Jocko Willink, of πŸ“Extreme Ownership, the New York Times bestselling leadership book. He served as a SEAL platoon commander in SEAL Team Three's Task Unit Bruiser, planning and leading major combat operations during the Battle of Ramadi β€” one of the most highly decorated special operations units of the Iraq War.

After leaving the SEAL Teams, Babin co-founded Echelon Front with Willink, a leadership consultancy that translates combat leadership principles β€” extreme ownership, decentralized command, prioritizing and executing β€” into training for businesses and organizations across industries.

I read Extreme Ownership as part of my leadership library β€” Babin and Willink's combat-tested framework for accountability is one I return to when systems, not individuals, are failing.
