Episode #5 - Extreme Ownership; when everyone's a Leader with Sriharsha B (1h, 18m)

Let's say that you were on a vacation and the day you returned you found out that your team has made the biggest blunder in the history of your organisation. You're to meet the Senior Leadership in an hour to explain what went wrong and possibly point the one who should take the fall for it. You spend enough time understanding what went wrong and even identify who was responsible for it and now you're in front of the senior leadership. But when they ask who's fault it was, you take the blame on yourself. The senior leadership is surprised how it could be you since you just returned from your vacation to which you say, it's your team and their actions are your accountability and you're ready to face any consequences that come off it. Now that's extreme! This and many more unconventional actions is what Sriharsha and  discussed in this podcast.   Interesting bits and pieces:  00:00:00 - Introduction  00:03:27 - Inventors of Extreme Ownership  00:04:14 - The ping-pong  00:05:05 - What is Extreme Ownership?  00:07:05 - The Leadership Freak  00:08:34 - The Carlsberg Story  00:11:07 - Principle #1 Extreme Ownership  00:16:21 - Principle #2 No bad teams, only bad Leaders  00:21:35 - Principle #3 Believe  00:25:24 - Principle #4 Check the Ego  00:30:28 - The good old days  00:34:07 - Principle #5 Cover & Move  00:37:22 - Principle #6 Simple  00:43:00 - Principle #7 Prioritise & Execute  00:43:48 - The Eisenhower Matrix  00:47:12 - Principle #8 Decentralised Command  00:53:49 - Principle #9 Plan  00:57:40 - Principle #10 Leading up and down the chain of command  01:04:50 - Principle #11 Decisiveness amid Uncertainty  01:09:50 - Principle #12 Dichotomy of Leadership   If you like what you hear then do subscribe to this podcast for more of EnterpriseJoy; you can also support this podcast by becoming our patron on https://www.patreon.com/enterprisejoy   Host: Vishal Prasad (www.enterprisejoy.com) Guest: Sriharsha B (https://www.linkedin.com/in/agileamigo/)   References:  Extreme Ownership: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23848190-extreme-ownership Dichotomy of Leadership: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38714388-the-dichotomy-of-leadership Extreme Programming: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/67833.Extreme_Programming_Explained   You can also listen to this episode on; EnterpriseJoy Podcast: www.enterprisejoy.com Anchor: https://anchor.fm/enterprisejoy Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enterprisejoy/id1519016078 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8yNmJjNTBmNC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1qUTug6CiY5BOUrlfakhQM Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1519016078/enterprisejoy Breaker: https://www.breaker.audio/enterprisejoy RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/enterprisejoy-6V3e4X Castro: https://castro.fm/podcast/ca896101-d0a0-4a09-8b95-d3e383e90ec2 Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/87pjxr8j Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/enterprisejoy TuneIn Radio: http://tun.in/pjUBP Castbox: https://castbox.fm/channel/id3021763?country=us YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_tojwmQMreUzPLiqEE0Upu_sOHLGR4ZN You can also enjoy this Podcast on your Amazon Echo & Alexa Devices via TuneIn Radio; just say "Alexa, play the EnterpriseJoy Podcast".
