There are a lot of benefits of promoting an accountable culture. A culture where people take responsibilities for their actions and work towards making changes that promote a more positive future; however, “Extreme Ownership” can lead to some unintended consequences (look at the military suicide rate).
“For compassion to work between people, we have to be honest about our feelings, motives, and experiences. Most people aren’t.”
Nate Regier, Compassionate Accountability
There are nuances to the idea of “Extreme Ownership.” There is something inherently honest and strong with the idea that we can own our fate. That can take a toll on your mind, body, and soul when the mission is life-long.
