Why I'd hand it to you
Jocko Willink and Leif Babin led Navy SEALs in the battle of Ramadi in Iraq, and here they translate combat lessons into business leadership. The central idea is that leaders own everything in their world, including the failures of their team. Each chapter pairs a battle story with an example from the companies they now advise. It is direct and clarifying. That directness is also the limit. The message is one note, played many times, and the military framing won't appeal to everyone. If you need a kick toward accountability, it does the job, and quickly.
