About Leif Babin
Leif Babin is a former U.S. Navy SEAL officer, best-selling author, leadership instructor and co-founder of Echelon Front. He is the co-author of Extreme Ownership and The Dichotomy of Leadership.
Leif served 13 years in the U.S. Navy, nine of those in the SEAL Teams. Deployed three times to Iraq, he learned critical leadership lessons under fire as a SEAL platoon commander with Jocko Willink and Task Unit Bruiser in the Battle of Ramadi in 2006. Upon his return, Leif ran SEAL leadership training for every officer graduating from the SEAL training pipeline and then served in executive management positions at a SEAL Team.
In 2011, he left active duty and launched Echelon Front, a premier leadership consulting company. Since that time, Leif has taught these same leadership principles to thousands of leaders across the business world at companies in virtually every industry, first responders, educators and non-profit organizations, helping them build their own high-performance, winning teams.
