Extreme ownership is a concept born out of military leadership lessons, encouraging individuals in leadership or managerial positions to assume, as well as delegate the highest degree of responsibility. It involves flattening the traditional, hierarchical decision-making approach by empowering individuals to make decisions about the processes that they are responsible for and impact their Key Result Areas (KRAs). The reality of any business is that the people who are executing the tasks on the ground are often better qualified to choose how to accomplish the assignment, while adapting to the unfolding circumstances on a real-time basis. Extreme Ownership is about allowing them to take such decisions within the broad confines of the defined process framework, and as long as the decisions are aligned with the overall strategic objectives of the business.
