Summary

Being an NFL coach is the ultimate high-pressure job. Every Sunday a coach makes split-second decisions that will not only decide the fate of a game, but also his team's season and, ultimately, his own job. 
Meet Mike Holmgren, Jon Gruden, John Fox, Andy Reid, and Mike Sherman -- top NFL head coaches whose careers rest on their ability to lead other men to win in the fiercely competitive world of professional football. 
In this extraordinary collaboration with their agent Bob LaMonte, each of these five coaches shares his leadership principles. LaMonte takes you behind the scenes, where you'll be a fly on the wall as these men reveal how to win beyond the X's and O's.  You will see how these successful leaders communicate with different personalities, develop vision, build trust in their people, and win loyalty, as well as overcome adversity and adapt to change. 
Through their colorful and motivational anecdotes, you'll gain unprecedented insights into the minds of some of the best coaches today and valuable lessons on what it means to be a leader and a champion.

    Drawing from the nascent field of biophysical economics, Anthill Economics puts forth a radical new way of thinking: as twenty-first-century citizens, the global economy truly is our human ecosystem. It is where raw materials are sourced, goods are supplied, energy is converted, and capital is exchanged. Shouldn't it stand to reason that the same principles that affect animal ecosystems similarly apply to our—albeit more complex—human ecosystem, too?Gronewold draws comparisons from both the animal kingdom and the atomic world. The rollercoaster-like rise and fall of the caribou population on a remote island can teach us about resource allocation. The behavior of squirrels gathering nuts is a lesson in energy return on investment. Could the high unemployment rates of anthill colonies shed light on problems with the human job market? And, will global warming change these patterns for humans and insects alike? Furthermore, if certain laws of physics can be used to explain the distribution of energy in a complex physical system, could these same laws also explain the distribution of money in a complex economic system as well?This clearly written book full of illuminating ecological analogies provides a more complete understanding of human commerce shaped by the rules of nature and laws of physics.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
    This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
    "Extreme Ownership" by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin is a transformative book that draws lessons in leadership from their experiences as Navy SEALs in the intense combat environment of Iraq. The authors recount their time leading SEAL Team Three's Task Unit Bruiser in the challenging mission to secure the insurgent-held city of Ramadi. Through gripping stories of heroism, loss, and victory, they emphasize the crucial role of leadership in the success or failure of a team. 
    After their deployment, Willink and Babin brought their combat-tested leadership principles to the civilian sector, founding Echelon Front to train leaders in various industries. "Extreme Ownership" has since become a pivotal resource in leadership development, adopted by many successful organizations, businesses, military units, and first responders. The book offers valuable insights and practical guidance on applying SEAL leadership principles to any leadership environment, challenging leaders to embrace their ultimate purpose: to lead and win.
