Extreme Ownership – What Navy SEAL Leadership Looks Like on a Construction Site
Can battlefield leadership principles help you run a better construction business?
In this episode of Craftsman to Owner, we break down Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin—and translate it directly for contractors and builders doing $500K–$5M/year.
We cover:
- Why everything is your responsibility—even when it’s not your fault
- How to build a crew that takes initiative (instead of waiting on your every move)
- What to do when the chaos hits—and how to prioritize and execute like a true leader
If your team keeps dropping the ball, if you’re frustrated by inconsistent performance, or if you’re tired of being the bottleneck—this book (and this episode) will challenge how you lead.
Lead yourself first. Then lead the business. Let’s go.
