As a result of using multiple case studies and illustrating ideas in the book, Willink and Babin explain that extreme ownership, which is the idea of owning everything that happens around the leader, is the core to successful leadership. The principles described in the books are useful for military and business purposes and the authors include a step-by-step approach on how the principles can be implemented for the development of culture of accountability, adaptability and mission-oriented success.
