To better understand everything that is to follow, make sure you have already covered my previous post Social Skills so you can follow along. If you wish to start from the original article, check out my post The Roadmap to Overman.
In this article you will learn the following:
- Main leadership concepts
- A simple system of remembering all of the leadership concepts
This chapter was inspired by the book “Extreme Ownership” by the authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. For the same reasons as always, I don’t wish to take any credit away from him. Check out my summary of the book for the list of all the rules.
Even though these principles are focused on the aspects of leadership, they can easily be applied to your life in general. That is why I want you to look at them as tools that can guide you in all aspects of life, not just leadership.
Below is a summary of another great book called “The 5 Dysfunctions of a team“.
Conclusion
You can’t fix any problem that you first haven’t taken ownership of. By taking responsibility for everything in your life, you give yourself the ability to fix any problem that comes your way. This is the main principle, not only for becoming a competent leader, but for living a good life.
Actionable step:
- Read the summary of the book “Extreme Ownership“.
- Start implementing the principles from the book.
Once you have done all of the actionable steps, move on to the next post Making Money.
