“Implementing Extreme Ownership requires checking your ego and operating with a high degree of humility. Admitting mistakes, taking ownership, and developing a plan to overcome challenges are integral to any successful team.” – U.S. Navy SEAL Jocko Willink, author of Extreme Ownership
Even the best business leaders fail. When you do, the most important thing you can do is to take responsibility, solicit constructive criticism and have the discipline to make the changes needed to fix the problem. The reason why this is so crucial is because your behavior, as a leader, becomes a template that everyone in your company will replicate. Demonstrate strong character and discipline, and this will be reflected throughout your business.
