When something goes wrong in your team, where does your mind go first? Do you look for the person who failed—or do you look at how you led?

Inspired by Extreme Ownership by former US Navy SEAL officers Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, this episode explores one of the most confronting principles in leadership: the leader must take responsibility for everything that affects the mission. Glenn unpacks what that means in business, sport, family and everyday leadership—and why ownership is not about accepting all the blame. It is about refusing to give away your power to improve the situation.

You will learn how to simplify communication, focus under pressure, break down silos, empower people to lead and replace excuses with action. The episode finishes with a practical Extreme Ownership audit you can use with yourself and your team this week.
