Individual coaching sessions enable personalized growth, development, and application of the principles of Extreme Ownership to overcome leadership challenges.

Initial sessions are structured to quickly get familiar with your company, organizational and positional friction, and areas of focus for leadership development.

Jocko utilizes a proprietary leadership assessment tool to identify areas of growth for individuals. The tool can be run as both a self-assessment and a 360-degree assessment. Results of the 360-degree survey provide objective insight into leaders’ hidden strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots. The output of the tool is used during strategic advising sessions to focus the conversations to help to increase a leader’s self-awareness, a key skill in the most effective leaders in combat and in business.

Battle-tested concepts of combat leadership that directly correlate to all leadership situations on and off the battlefield. We don’t teach theory learned in a classroom. We teach tried, tested, and proven combat leadership principles and strategies learned on the front lines of the war on terror.

The key to effective leadership is balance. Leaders will constantly be faced with opposing forces that must be balanced in order to succeed. We discuss how to identify and constantly make adjustments to those opposing forces to lead every member of your team effectively.

The laws of combat were learned on the battlefield of Ramadi, but they apply everywhere. Whether in business, personal, or life implementing the four laws of combat are required to succeed. Cover and Move, Simple, Prioritize and Execute, and Decentralized Command: these are the laws that lead to winning.

We discuss the benefit to establishing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for all of your team.
