  Extreme Stewardship | Everyone Leads Series - Episode 106

  Aug 11, 202652 min

  What is the difference between Extreme Ownership and Extreme Stewardship? More than just responsibility. In this episode of our Everyone Leads series, we explore how ownership helps us take accountability for the mission in front of us, while stewardship challenges us to think about what we are leaving behind for the next person, the next crew, and the next generation of leaders. In the second half, we shift gears into communication and break down three practical ways to communicate better on a crew: being clear, confirming understanding, and listening with intent.
