chapter 3: believe
course description
Extreme Ownership 103 teaches the fundamental truth that a resolute belief in the mission is critical for any team or organization to win. In order to persevere through inevitable challenges, or convince and inspire others to follow and accomplish a mission, a leader must be a true believer in that mission. Leaders must detach from the immediate tactical mission and understand how it supports strategic goals, or ask questions for clarification when they cannot understand. Leaders must ensure they explain The Why behind the mission so that their teams can believe and successfully execute. With a combat example, detailed explanation of the principle, multiple examples of direct application to business, and role play demonstrations, this course illustrates the power of belief in the success of any team, in any arena. Knowledge is tested through three interactive application exercises and five learning check questions.
