Episode notes
Extreme Ownership at Work
- Take ownership of your mistakes by admitting them directly to your boss without blaming others.
- Prepare a plan to fix them, show your commitment through hard work, and maintain professional appearance and organization.
True Extreme Ownership
- Extreme ownership requires admitting fault, planning solutions, and actually fixing issues.
- Simply admitting mistakes without fixing them does not restore reputation or demonstrate true ownership.
Leave for Your Well-being
- If your significant other refuses to seek help for severe issues affecting your well-being, prioritize your own health and safety by leaving.
- Do not stay out of fear of regret when the relationship causes constant stress and harm.
