What’s the biggest obstacle to taking ownership? That little voice inside of us that says, "This isn't my fault," or "They should've known better," or "I shouldn't have to do that." Our ego. Our ego wants to shield us from responsibility, but in reality, it stops us from looking inward and solving the problem. So, in order to check our ego, we must redirect our mindset and ask ourselves earnest questions. When things go wrong, the real question isn't "Who's to blame?" The real question is: What could I have done differently to ensure a successful outcome? Could I have communicated more clearly? Where could I have provided better guidance and training to someone? How can I build a better relationship with others I depend on? Those are the questions that drive high-performing teams, and they can only be answered when we subordinate our ego. Every week, I share leadership insights and challenges like this on the Extreme Ownership Rundown. Sign up for more: https://lnkd.in/gwsYE75u

Happy 47th Birthday, Marc Lee. Marc Lee was a beloved teammate, friend, son, and the first Navy SEAL killed in action in the Iraq War during the Battle of Ramadi. His name ‘Marc’ means Mighty Warrior — and he undoubtedly lived up to it. He is remembered for his humor, courage, perseverance, faith, and selflessness, and his legacy lives on through, where his mother, Debbie Lee, serves thousands of Veterans and Gold Star families. Make your ‘Marc’ today with a random act of kindness or through your support of America’s Mighty Warriors: https://lnkd.in/e6kHuTw

Don’t come to Muster. If you’re looking for a stereotypical leadership conference, you’ll find it elsewhere. You hear vague, motivational speeches that make you feel inspired but don’t actually give you the skills to lead. You leave with a notebook full of ideas—and no real plan to execute. That’s NOT how it goes at the Extreme Ownership Muster. At the Muster, we do things differently. Because leadership isn’t about feeling good—it’s about getting better. That path to improvement starts with brutal honesty. We require that you do an honest self-assessment of where you are, so you can figure out how to take ownership and get where you want to be.  If your team is underperforming, if you’re frustrated with your boss, if problems keep stacking up, there’s only one place to look: the mirror. You can either make excuses or take ownership. The leaders who step up and take responsibility are the ones who create real solutions. That’s what we teach at MUSTER. ✔ How to recognize where you’re falling short—so you can actually fix it. ✔ How to apply leadership principles in real time—because leadership isn’t learned in a classroom. ✔ How to build a culture of accountability—so your team stops making excuses and starts winning. ✔ How to execute, even in the toughest environments—because leadership isn’t about what you say, it’s about what you do. On top of all that, we wake up at 4:30 AM and finish with Introduction to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This isn’t traditional leadership training. We’re giving you skills that could transform every aspect of your life.  If you’re looking for a weekend to recharge and feel good about yourself—stay home. But if you’re serious about leading at the highest level, about driving your team to win, about taking ownership of every challenge in front of you—then we’ll see you at MUSTER: https://lnkd.in/gtFjGa8f

Self-awareness isn't just about knowing your strengths and weaknesses. You have to understand your impact on others and be willing to accept that impact, even when it’s not what you intended. We tend to overestimate our relationships. We believe we communicate clearly with the right tone and tact. We assume we have more leadership capital than we actually do. We think we are aware of how self-aware we are. But our assumptions can lead us astray. We must consistently make an effort to pay attention to people's responses, outside feedback, and our relationships. Self-awareness allows you to recognize how you’re the problem—and, more importantly, how you need to change. It’s not always easy, but the best leaders don’t avoid tough truths; they embrace them.

No VIP. No Backstage. No Greenroom. When we started planning the first MUSTER conference, it was just me, Jocko Willink, and Leif Babin on a call, going back and forth about what this leadership event needed to be. One thing was clear from the start: 🚫 No VIP section. 🚫 No greenroom. 🚫 No backstage hideout. From that very first conversation, Jocko and Leif were adamant: We don’t want to be off in some room, away from the people who are here to learn. We want to be in it. Talking. Listening. Answering questions. Helping leaders solve real problems in real time. That’s exactly what MUSTER became. No ego. No exclusive access. No fluff. Just real, practical leadership training where attendees could interact directly with Jocko, Leif, and the Echelon Front team—not just during sessions, but in the hallways, during breaks, or over lunch. Every conversation, every question, every challenge—answered with direct, actionable solutions. Now, 21 MUSTERs later, that same mentality applies. ✅ Hands-on leadership application, not just theory. ✅ Immediate access —no gatekeeping. ✅ A culture of extreme ownership where everyone is learning, growing, and leading. Join us for the next event, coming up April 29-May 1 in San Antonio. Website: https://lnkd.in/eH6xeVBV #leadership #extremeownership #conference
