“Need põhimõtted on lihtsad, aga mitte kerged. Raske on võtta vastutust vigade ja ebaõnnestumiste eest. Just see annab aga uusi teadmisi, aitab leida lahendusi ja lõpuks võita.”
― Jocko Willink & Leif Babin, Extreme Ownership. Leadership Development Handbook.

“There, we became intimately familiar with the humbling trials of war. We were lucky enough to build , train, and lead high-performance, winning teams that proved exceptionally effective. We saw, firsthand the perils of complacency, … We know what it means to fail — to lose, to be surprised, outmaneuvered, or simply beaten. Those lessons were the hardest, but perhaps the most important. We learned that leadership requires belief in the mission and unyielding perseverance to achieve victory, particularly when doubters question whether victory is even possible. As SEAL leaders, we developed, tested, confirmed, and captured an array of leadership lessons as well as management and organizational best practices.”

“Kui inimesed lõpetavad vabanduste otsimise ja teiste süüdistamise ning võtavad oma elu eest ise vastutuse, on nad ka sunnitud oma probleemidele aktiivselt lahendust otsima. Nendest saavad paremad juhid, paremad alluvad, usaldusväärsemad tiimiliikmed, kes on valmis aktiivselt panustama ja oskavad jõulisemalt ülesande lahenduse poole tüürida. Aga neis jagub ka tagasihoidlikkust - suutlikkust oma ego talitseda, nii et see ei rikuks suhteid ega avaldaks halba mõju ülesande lahendamisele ja ülejäänud kollektiivile.”
