Leading up and down the chain

Take responsibility for everyone in your world, bosses included.

Jocko Willink and Leif Babin's framework, from Extreme Ownership, pp. 183 to 261.

Own everyone in your world
Lead subordinates and superiors alike.
Look in the mirror first
If someone is not doing what you need, ask what you can do to enable it.
Tell the boss what you will do
Do not ask what you should do.
Push situational awareness
Give leaders the information they need to decide and support you.

From chapter: III. Sustaining Victory, pp. 183–261
