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.

Great leadership material, highly recommended!

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?

Hi friends! I’m looking for resources to help me be successful in a “Functional Lead” role.

The role is in FinTech
I’m responsible for strategy, comms and key partnerships for a bank product. It reports through Customer Experience but touches product, Ops. marketing. It’s basically a Project Manager role but more nuanced.

Anyone out there in a role like this? Any books. videos or even best practices to share?

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Like me, you have dated a million times and yet can’t seem to get it right. If you have ever wondered, whether in silence or out loud, “what’s wrong with me?”, this book is for you. I’ve heard a million times that communication is the key to a successful relationship. However, nobody taught me what effective communication is. How many conversations have I had in my head that lead to a conclusion without ever involving the other party? Countless! If this resonates, this book is for you.
