How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win

Jocko Willink and Leif Babin • St. Martin’s Griffin • 2015

Discipline and Humility

by David Meyer

Best-selling authors and former US Navy SEALs Jocko Willink and Leif Babin relate illustrative war stories and link them to crucial business issues: Own ’em, prioritize ’em, find solutions, fix ’em.

Former US Navy SEAL officers and New York Times number one best-selling authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin served in the Iraq War and fought in the 2006 Battle of Ramadi in SEAL Task Unit Bruiser, an outstanding special operations unit.

The two officers created and led leadership training for the US Navy special forces, the SEALs, and later opened Echelon Front, a leadership consultancy. Their combat record is exemplary, and they fought in some of the war’s toughest battles. Willink held higher rank than Babin, but their communication, commitment and willingness to examine the efficacy of their actions created a lasting bond.
