Extreme Ownership at Work
- Take ownership of your mistakes by admitting them directly to your boss without blaming others.

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
