Extreme Ownership: Navy Seals & Referees, what do we share?
I recently stumbled upon a leadership book "Extreme Ownership" by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. Two Navy seals mapping out 12 leadership principles based on their experiences in combat (Battle of Ramadi, Iraq war) and how those can be applied to any business.8 of those principles resonated with my refereeing experience and while some I have been following, others I can improve in. Here are potential takeaways for any referee.
Principles(I have kept the original number of the principle from the book)
#1 - Extreme Ownership
A leader must own everything in his or her world. Both his mistakes and mistakes of his team are his fault. Every mistake, every failure or shortfall - own it.
