An updated edition of the blockbuster bestselling leadership book that took America and the world by storm, two U.S. Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life.
Combat, the most intense and dynamic environment imaginable, teaches the toughest leadership lessons, with absolutely everything at stake. Jocko Willink and Leif Babin learned this reality first-hand on the most violent and dangerous battlefield in Iraq. As leaders of SEAL Team Three's Task Unit Bruiser, their mission was one many thought impossible: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a violent, insurgent-held city deemed "all but lost." In gripping, firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories, they learned that leadership--at every level--is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails.
Willink and Babin returned home from deployment and instituted SEAL leadership training to pass on their harsh lessons learned in combat to help forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After leaving the SEAL Teams, they launched a company, Echelon Front, to teach those same leadership principles to leaders in businesses, companies, and organizations across the civilian sector. Since that time, they have trained countless leaders and worked with hundreds of companies in virtually every industry across the U.S. and internationally, teaching them how to develop their own high-performance teams and most effectively lead those teams to dominate their battlefields.
Since it's release in October 2015, Extreme Ownership has revolutionized leadership development and set a new standard for literature on the subject. Required reading for many of the most successful organizations, it has become an integral part of the official leadership training programs for scores of business teams, military units, and first responders. Detailing the mindset and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult combat missions, Extreme Ownership demonstrates how to apply them to any team or organization, in any leadership environment. A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead and win.

Leaves from a President's Notebook shares the wisdom of Thomas K.
Hearn Jr., former President of Wake Forest University, and past
chairman and board member of the Center for Creative Leadership.
These short essays reflect Dr. Hearn's thoughts ranging from
growing up in rural Alabama to current topics including leadership
development, college athletics, and the role of the modern
university. Dr. Hearn graduated summa cum laude from
Birmingham-Southern College, earned a divinity degree from Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary, and a PhD in philosophy from
Vanderbilt University. After teaching philosophy at the College of
William and Mary for ten years, he returned to his home state in
1974 to start the philosophy department at the University of
Alabama-Birmingham. Dr. Hearn was named Wake Forest University's
twelfth president on June 23, 1983, and served until 2005, the
second-longest tenure in the University's history. He oversaw the
development of Wake Forest from a small, regional liberal arts
Baptist institution into one of the nations' premier independent
universities. His efforts to raise the University's national
profile were recognized in 1994 when U.S. News & World Report
moved Wake Forest into the national universities category in its
annual college guide. Wake Forest has ranked among the top thirty
universities in the country every year since.
There are many advantages to incorporating digital services in
business, including improved data management, higher transparency,
personalized customer service, and cost reduction. Innovation is a
key driver to how digital services are formed, developed,
delivered, and used by consumers, employees, and employers. The
largest differentiator comes from having a digitally empowered
workforce. Companies increasingly need digital workers to establish
greater digital skills to bear on every activity. Business leaders
especially need to steer digital priorities, drive innovation, and
develop digital platforms. Leadership, Management, and Adoption
Techniques for Digital Service Innovation is an essential reference
source that discusses the adoption of digital services in multiple
industries and presents digital technologies to address and further
advance innovation to drive successful solutions. Featuring
research on topics such as cloud computing, digital business, and
value creation, this book is ideally designed for managers,
leaders, executives, directors, IT consultants, academicians,
researchers, industry professionals, students, and practitioners.
