I loved extreme ownership. Great stories and tie backs to the business world.

Only negative is that I now really incorporate that mindset and have to not-be-frustrated when others don't just own things lol.

Idk the other book so I can't compare.

Extreme ownership is awesome and applicable in the business world. I recommend.

Glad to hear it’s good. I ended up buying dichotomy of leadership but I saw the reviews were very similar books so hopefully I’ll have the same experience!

You probably will, jocko(or his ghost writer is great at telling stories).

Nah. I could never take someone named Jocko seriously if you paid me to. Unless he was a literal clown

So I don’t mean no harm, but the man was a legit and well respected navy seal. They don’t give tridents out to clowns. You may want to rethink this…

If I was a junior on a team during a campaign launch, is that something I can put in my book? I helped during the concepting phase, was responsible for keeping the boards up to date, and wrote a lot of the supporting materials (print, social etc) but obviously I was not on the shoot or the lead on writing the script. As long as I’m clear about my role is that acceptable?
