Extreme Ownership is more than just a concept; it’s a transformative mindset that fuels exceptional success and unity here at Weblife Sri Lanka. This core value is essential to our growth, especially for our content team, Labs.
Extreme Ownership is a leadership principle that emphasizes taking complete charge of your domain, including outcomes and setbacks, without passing blame to others. At Weblife Sri Lanka, this principle is foundational to our approach and essential to our success. It’s about leading by example, owning up to both personal and team challenges, and finding opportunities for growth. This approach encourages us to place the team’s objectives ahead of individual egos, creating a culture of confidence, mutual respect, and collaborative success.
At Weblife Sri Lanka, each team member steps up to the plate, embracing full accountability for how their work impacts the team’s success. This means taking ownership of individual roles and acknowledging that each person's contribution impacts the overall progress and prosperity of the team.
For instance, one of our team members was traveling abroad yet stayed fully engaged to ensure the accuracy of our new sales tax calculations on launch day. He meticulously planned, arranged for backup support, and maintained regular check-ins to guarantee a seamless rollout. This is Extreme Ownership in action— the Weblife way.
We consider leadership as key to a team’s success. When a team faces challenges, it often points to the need for strong, supportive leadership. This principle pushes our leaders to focus on training, empowering, and guiding their teams, rather than assigning blame. By helping their team’s development and providing the right resources, our leaders help everyone perform at their best.
Leaders at Weblife Sri Lanka put the mission and the team above their own personal interests and egos. This means being open to ideas from all team members and recognizing that the best solutions may come from within the team.
In challenging situations, it's crucial to figure out the most important tasks and tackle them one by one. At Weblife Sri Lanka, we train our teams to assess, prioritize, and execute them efficiently to achieve success.
Effective leaders at Weblife Sri Lanka delegate tasks and empower front-line leaders to make decisions. This ensures that those closest to the issues have the authority to resolve them promptly.
Clear, concise, and simple communication is essential for success. At Weblife Sri Lanka, we ensure that each employee understands their tasks and responsibilities through straightforward communication.
Success relies on team members supporting one another, much like covering fire in a military operation. Collaboration and mutual aid are essential to reaching our goals at Weblife Sri Lanka.
We tackle challenges with energy and determination, actively seeking solutions rather than waiting for the perfect answer. This principle encourages us to take initiative and adapt our strategies as needed.
Inspired by our Founder & CEO, Lucas Robinson, and the principles from the book "Extreme Ownership" by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, we have made Extreme Ownership a fundamental part of our company culture. This principle drives us to excel in every aspect of our work. Jocko Willink's real-life experiences as a Navy SEAL, particularly his handling of a friendly fire incident in Iraq where he took full responsibility despite the complex circumstances, have profoundly influenced us. His example of accountability has inspired us at Weblife Sri Lanka to adopt a similar mindset.
Our team members regularly demonstrate Extreme Ownership through various initiatives and daily responsibilities. For example, during the launch of a critical project, our team displayed exceptional ownership by ensuring all aspects were thoroughly reviewed and tested, even during off-hours, to meet our high standards.
We foster an environment where accountability is encouraged and celebrated. Regular check-ins, transparent communication, and mutual support ensure that every team member is aware of their responsibilities and the impact of their work on the overall team success.
Our focus at Weblife Sri Lanka involves acknowledging our own mistakes and learning from them, rather than deflecting responsibility. Both leaders and team members embrace this attitude, transforming challenges into catalysts for progress and creative solutions.
As you progress in your career, think about how adopting this approach could transform your work environment. Extreme Ownership isn’t merely a strategy; it’s a game-changer that can elevate your professional life and reshape team dynamics. Implementing this perspective can potentially elevate your personal growth and produce extraordinary results for your organization.
At Weblife Sri Lanka, Extreme Ownership is more than a core value—it’s the foundation of our success. By embracing this mindset, we ensure that we lead with integrity, take full responsibility, and create a culture of trust and respect, driving us to achieve exceptional results.
