Extreme Ownership for the Manufacturing Leader, 338

Have you read the book, "Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win" by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin? The book talks about the mindset of Navy SEALs and how the techniques they employ in and out of combat can be embraced by leadership. So in this episode of MakingChips, we break down some of the facets of extreme leadership and share how they're applicable to the manufacturing nation. Because if you're not taking extreme ownership of your business, you're not making chips. And if you're not making chips, you're not making money. BAM!
