**user**: summarize Extreme Ownership in this note
[Timestamp: 2026/10/12 20:38:48]

**ai**: I filled in the empty Summary section of [[Extreme Ownership]]. The summary is written from my own knowledge of the book, not from your notes; I didn't read [[📕 Extreme Ownership - How U.S. Navy Seals Lead and Win]], so it may not match your highlights there.

It covers:

- **Core idea:** a leader is responsible for everything in their world, so they own the team's failures and fix them instead of blaming others.
- **Supporting principles:** no bad teams only bad leaders, believing in the mission, checking the ego, and leading up and down the chain.
- **Four laws of combat:** Cover and Move, Simple, Prioritize and Execute, and Decentralized Command, the last linked to your existing [[Commander's Intent]] note.
- **Balance:** ownership without micromanaging, and "discipline equals freedom".
