The worst part is wasting years of your life dealing with them, it effects other areas in your personal life, I don't think bosses realize it or that they care
So true. Watching this video because I "stood up" to my micromanaging leader and made my situation worse. What makes it worse is I'm working half time b/c of this virus.
@@illtek25 im kind of in a similar boat. i expressed frustration to my boss after repeated failings (unfortunately, undocumented) and he reported me to HR for something I didnt say (luckily, a third party in the room gave me a written statement confirming). I was removed from the program without any notice. the funny thing is that i am very confident I'm right and in two years they'll notice theyve wasted a bunch of time and money and will likely lose the larger 10yr strategic initiative. i made mistakes though, i dont know how to "stand up" for myself. i should have just gone to HR without even trying to talk to the boss. ive been bullied my whole life - my parents threatened to kill me growing up. in college, a roommate tweaked on drugs and attacked me before finals week, I told my school and they refused to change my room and they threatened to expel me... there are a few things that happen with these experiences. one, i dont trust authority - in many cases, an organization will try to downplay your emotions or gaslight you to make you think like your problems dont exist or arent valid. Alternatively, they will try to intimidate you to keep you quiet, which can come in a bunch of different forms - social ostracization, passive aggressive remarks, not including you in important discussions, removing your funding, micromanaging, etc. If the organization is truly tweaked, they will lay you off, fire you, or set unrealistic goals you "have" to meet to stay employed. Second, I have a scapegoat mentality - I had been defeated in so many instances (I couldnt get away from my abusive family) that I subconsciously assume its ok to be treated that way and eventually i find myself in situations where im bullied again. When is it appropriate to stand up for yourself? Psychologically, almost always - if you let people get away with things it'll often just get worse. In terms of a corporate environment, almost never. "If you wrestle with a pig you'll both get muddy". Anyway, I'm in a bad spot, too. I'm in a niche career and my likely options are 1) ignore my ethical/bullying concerns and hate life 2) push the issue and be ostracized for disrupting "good order and discipline" or 3) walk away from the program/company and face career suicide. There's a small chance appealing to senior management will help, but it may also get me fired.
My boss can't even read the first page of a Harry Potter book. But because she beat her husband up drunk she was given a management job through a court system that helps Karens. She acts like a 5 year old.
Hang out as long as you can and move on. If you' have less than five years of experience, try to stick it out for a year or two. If you have more than five years of experience, bounce asap. There are a lot of good companies and fantastic bosses out there. Don't kill your career by working for a bad one.
The humility that Jocko possesses is unprecedented! I wish I could have so much of it, but I don't wanna go through what a soldier like him has gone through... Amazing! And this level of adaptability... Everything he says is so logical, but so damn hard to do.
I would like to hear how this is nuanced into the private/ corporate sector. Military knows at the end of the day its life or death...to be blunt some corporates only believe in maintaining an image ( people are secondary) ..there are different critical mass points to effect change ( corporate tends to reward narcissistic behaviour)
Really trying to employ these strategies at work right now. I personally feel, or my ego at least feels, that I’ve been going above and beyond my job duties and responsibilities. Examples include working extra hours, being a proactive team member, arriving early, staying late, supporting my team etc. All of this extra effort is either not recognized, unappreciated, or somehow I get admonished by my boss for doing too much? Should I instead slack off, adopt a lukewarm work ethic, and merely meet the minimum standard in order to find success? Sometimes it seems that accolades are given at my job for doing just this, meeting the bare minimum. I recently was given corrective training for having not contacting law enforcement or CIT when dealing with a violent and aggressive youth. Mind you I was at the youths home with his family, but otherwise by myself without support. I was threatened by the kid with a large blunt object, and in short was able to resolve the situation on my own. I wrote my report and sent it up the chain of command, but got in trouble because I didn’t immediately inform the entire world what was going on? By the way I took complete responsibility for not calling for backup in the moment and told my boss I’d do better in the future. I am however extremely frustrated. I guess that’s what I get for giving an effort.
“The Marines,' my dad said, 'will teach you everything I love you too much to teach you.” ― Nathaniel Fick, One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer
So true, when my ego got me I failed every time. When I focused on the job at hand all was good, we excelled. We got the job done and shined. It is all about the work, if you love your part in the work, the rest is Bull crap. Just my thought.
The best thing I found when dealing with a shitty boss is to do everything my own way whenever I have the freedom. Then when theyre around I do everything they tell me to and blame them when it goes wrong.
I’ve been forced to use a very similar method although a malignant narcissist doesn’t accept or even understand the concept of taking blame, instead when his instructions inevitably failed, I’d say “i had a feeling this would happen but you insisted so I did exactly what you said, maybe next time…” and of course rinse & repeat. Gladly I left for much greener pastures but keep tabs cuz I’m nosy and ugh it’s a really sad state of affairs which is actually upsetting after how hard I worked to keep a tight ship.
It sounds like this Q came from someone on active duty. And I'm starting to notice that a lot of Jocko's advice can tend not to work in an institution where nobody gets fired and nobody is allowed to leave.
John Failphins yep military is way way different than corporate even civilian government. Way different culture. The solution to this question is find a new job ASAP but try to keep good references and a good bridge. No real way to tell a boss to toss sand unless you’re in the rare position to quit on the spot. Financial independence is one way to be in that position.
For the record Echo explains things in such a precise way, but the reason I commend him: he's able to reinvite the subject in a broad way while intelligently touching on the key arguments at the same time while information is constatly being thrown at you.
Solsberry yep, a lot of his advice is good but when it comes to jobs, leadership, nah his background is pure military it’s very different outside of it in ordinary corporate jobs.
@Jocko This is a good strategy overall I like it, it shows strength of character and an understanding of the overall goal. The issue is that not getting noticed for your hard work time and time again erodes motivation and morale for you and your team. If the hard work goes unnoticed for days and weeks and months and maybe even years, people are going to look to work elsewhere to get the proper recognition. People who do strong work deserve the proper recognition for their efforts and results, that is how systems and processes get stronger, more adaptable and more enduring.
I was hired into a company in 2018 as a high level manager, and I walked into PRECISELY this scenario. Precisely. And this is precisely how I handled it. Literally exactly. In the end, THE boss became a much, much better leader, my team grew sales by 300% in one year, and I doubled my income and earned the respect of the entire company. Jocko this is spot on.
I worked for a very successful tyrant who I did learn a lot from and become more mature under but ultimately wasn’t reaping a fraction of the rewards he generously gave himself. So while I give him credit where it is due, I’ll be the first to give the harshest criticism… cuz I learned that from him too lol.
Thank you. I appreciate the videos that you have made and know that you are ones who share through experience. I accept the challenge to win through for the good of my team and our mission. 💪🏽🙏🏽
Ive got a boss thats coming back to my place of employment, that im not a fan of, neither of my co workers are either. But the one thing that does help with managing a bad boss, is picking and choosing your battles. You only go above your manager to HR if its the last thing you do ( sometimes that is the best option). Another thing is stand your ground, and pick your battles.
It's difficult to get through a situation without feedback, support, or approval, but it can also lead to an opportunity where you keep your own methods & motives to yourself. If the boss wants to know how the thing got taken care of, you get to show off. Think of it as a Savings Deposit: taxed or not, you can withdraw from your account of the situation & either keep applying the same methods, or share the methods with those you trust.
So glad I found this channel, mandatory masculinity facts on here. Someone who watches my stuff told me about it because you're video flood the recommendations when someone watches mine. Peace & Prosperity also thanks for the valuable content man
Very important video. I’ve done that and won 🥇 in life against many bad bosses or even a few so called good ones who didn’t believe in my work or me and today I’m amazingly successful in everything and to top that off I’m better and more successful than all them bosses etc
I had a boss that lied and blamed everything on our payroll team. When she wanted one of us gone, she would “lay us off” and replace us the next day. She was nasty and dirty. Eventually we all left or got let go. Nobody lasts over 2 years if that. It makes her look good and the company owners and her management have no idea what she does. Our supervisor didn’t stand up for us either. I’ve never worked for someone so evil and dirty. Oh and she’s been there for over 20 years and still there making over 6 digits a year. If we complain, we are disgruntled. Hopefully it will eventually come full circle one day.
They didn't shut it down. Now that you have the tools you need identify the situation and apply this strategy to it. Watching this video isn't worth much unless you apply and no one can do that but you.
this works only if you work with a great company, learn about your company and figure out if you are working for incompetent people or people who don't care all the way up the chain of command. after you gain 3 years of experience you should know which type of company you are working for. ask for a raise and adjust your plans accordingly.
Exactly. When a boss doesn't like you, you are on your way out. I've seen this soooo many times. And most companies are sinking ships. Never do business with a desperate man, he will screw you over in the end.
Also, make sure the boss *knows* you are going to let him take the credit. Otherwise, he might give you a bad performance review to ensure that nobody listens to you. If that happens, it can overshadow the fact that the rest of the team knows what's up.
Just add one thing that you need to be able to advertise yourself in the company But do it in a humble manner. If you do not advertise yourself even a little bit, you will be left in the dark and you can grin all you want avout how much you did things. But no one knows. This is for øarge companies though and easier to be noticed like they say here when the company are smaller.
It’s interesting for me to note this, personally: a cigarette smoker has a strict dialogue with a non-cigarette smoker. An alcoholic has a strict dialogue with a non-smoker. A martial artist has a strict dialogue with an Olympiad. “Nicho zai in empty hands” is a strict dialogue that can be had with a baton or mace twirler. An excuse-maker has a strict dialogue with an excuse-giver. An excuser has strict dialogue with a guru. A guru has a strict dialogue with a flower. Something about a Lotus and musical notation. Jibber jabber. Bout to go lift. Kumite. Kumite. Kumite.
It also helps to hear this advice from someone who can murder me in 10 seconds. Because I can kick the shut out of every boss (minus one) I've had and if Jocko can let go - so can I goddammit
bad bosses get their just desserts in the end. If they don't, than the organization itself is bad and before long, from your boss up to the top, everyone will get it because the ship is sinking at that point. i had to leave a job once because of a bad boss. He wasn't about to fire me, but he was pigeon holding my career, setting me up for failure. Giving me negative feedback ratings without a legit explanation, and preventing me from transferring to something else. So I quit, on my exit interview I fired a few f*** you rounds his way but in a manner where I didn't lie or exaggerate. Apparently I wasn't alone in my sentiment because within 6 months my old boss got fired.
The dislikes are from the bosses that didn't take EXTREME OWNERSHIP due to their ill intended egos that narrates their truths in order to shine a light on their accomplishments and pave the road with the blame/faults of others. I can see clearly through the BS. Even when the unbalanced EGO is knotted, twisted, and tied in a never ending cycle of BS, I can see still step over, under & or through it with a balanced EGO that the boss has no intention of developing the necessary discipline it takes to have extreme ownership of yourself, your employees and the residents that are under their care. Once you have that thinking, one tends (or they should) break their selves down and starts to take extreme ownership, it will take u through massive changes that will make one uncomfortable when one has been pushing down the emotions of denial, anger, hurt, jealously, trauma & so much more.
Agree with - if you completely reject the boss then you further divide the team and should therefore aim for balance. Although this can be challenging to do it makes strategic sense for your long-term professional reputation. Thanks!
What if you're an intern in this situation and the team leader treats you less than the others and ignores your input no matter how much it'd ease everyone's lives but instead wants you to do copy paste, Google translate, such no brain tasks? Although you're the only one actually specialised in a large part of the subject matter..
What if your leader is hurting the team despite your efforts and your peers and your partners in business? Is there an ethical obligation to do something different?
You can never win with a bad boss. If that bad boss makes his superiors’ day even one increment easier, even by neglecting those under him, they will always prefer his side/situation over yours. Basically it’s “don’t let any shit make it to my plate and you’re golden”.
So what do you do when it never goes noticed? You don’t get the raise you don’t get the promotion you don’t get the recognition from the big dogs but you work your ass off
I think videos on this topic will lead the way to foundation for Jaco‘s next book. Here’s the problem, most of us are not leaders. Most people in charge are not leaders and see no problem with not being performatively a leader. In spite of this, we come to this contact to learn how to lead ourselves in the face of bad and blind leadership. Could we see a book coaching us about what to do in the face of bad leaders? A manual, if you will.
my boss is my younger brother. he is an ultimate ego maniac. how he landed this job is a scooby-doo mystery. my life is miserable no matter what.......even his wife hates him.....and kid,,....hes not evil but a poor poor poor boss. i cant quit ! i dont want to be ahead of the game but treated with respect....hes a apartment manager and the who;e place cant stand him....alot of hate here.....im miserable
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Colossians 3:23-24
This is one principle that I disagree with Jocko. This treatment goes on for years, and the uppers do not notice where the success comes from. The higher-ups are leaders themselves and believe that all success comes from the direct manager. The direct managers always claim successes for themselves, and then they move on.
Look Jocko, you are no longer in the Air Force "Green Barrets".. I would really love to see do a cooking show, or mabey a DIY episod on how to build a shelf.. just to see you chill a little bit:) a vlog about your hobbies will be awsome!!
It’s not so clear cut often times, the reality of it is that more so than not, there are other variables that come with a negative boss and are usually the ones that break the team. For one, the “let’s win no matter what” mantra is usually not there as in, the very people charged with carrying out the mission no longer care enough to make it happen, and willingly let the job crash and burn, the co-workers generally don’t like each other so that enhances the already poor leadership and to cap it off by the time a shitty boss is outed, the team doesn’t want to or have the will to rebuild and regroup, thus letting everything turn to a pile of shit with disgruntled people grinning like idiots and walking away. I’ve seen it on both the military and civilian side, I’ve seen subordinates become so disgruntled that they risked their positions to purposely ruin their bosses careers (and it worked) but it should have never got to that point. On another occasion a project superintendent was eventually bullied and threatened with physical harm by an irate employee which resulted in a transfer of that leader and termination of that employee (that boss was an asshole BTW) and it did kill 2 rotten birds with one stone. Bottom line, none of that should have happened, and I rest the blame squarely on the leader for not having the thoughtfulness, organization, foresight and emotional intelligence to deal with subordinates and also lacking in knowledge of the job they are supposed to be running. I feel the number one killer of leadership is the person charged with that duty, don’t know or understand the job they are leading in. This is a train wreck waiting to happen when trying to lead longtime experienced personnel. In the leadership schools I’ve attended in the military, there are significant gaps in how to approach situations though I understand the novelty of certain scenarios I feel that the “shut up and keep leading” method does not work if everyone in your unit, group or whatever vehemently hates your guts. Unfortunately the only remedy for it is removal and replacement due to lack of confidence. For my own safety I would not want to go into battle with teams like that. I remember the stories my grandfather used to tell about know it all big mouthed “useless LT’s” in WW2 and Vietnam that mysteriously disappeared and people in platoons just generally not looking out for one another in the field because they couldn’t stand each other.
Jocko, I really hate my boss, he gave me a weird list. This list is filled with certain people that our side has to shove into a train outta town. Now I don't know these people they seem perfectly normal to me. There are 14 people with the last name Willink on the list. Should I take your advice and win?
It’s so hard to not be too negative with a negative boss.
The worst part is
wasting years of your life dealing with them, it effects other areas in your personal life, I don't think bosses realize it or that they care

Just gotta say, I really needed this today, thanks for all you do team.
I’ll never give my shitty boss credit. But I will never bad mouth him to others

Spite towards a terrible boss has motivated me quite a few times.

I absolutely appreciate this more than you know!!
That was exactly what Clint Eastwood did in the movie Heart Break Ridge!
Become your own boss and be good have fun and don't take life so seriously
Jocko - please do America a favor and run for president! We need a leader!
I love this advice.
Literally the video I've been waiting for 😂
I had a boss that lied and blamed everything on our payroll team. When she wanted one of us gone, she would “lay us off” and replace us the next day. She was nasty and dirty.

Outstanding advice and video, as always.
Simple solution is find a new job, it’s ok to stand up for yourself but this advice helps to keep the job in the meantime.
Thanks for shutting that nagging little "give me the credit" voice in my head up. Always chaps my hide when it happens. Needed this.
😂😂😂😂😂

What if the boss's boss is his father and is oblivious to his poor leadership. He thinks his son is amazing
Story of my life right now
a lost cause. they will protect them to the very end...
Just get out of that organization, find a way
Have no debt have a rainy year fund and investments and learn new skills on your own time
Right now I don't have to deal with my boss....all the stores are shut down except the supermarkets
Just add one thing that you need to be able to advertise yourself in the company But do it in a humble manner.
If you do not advertise yourself even a little bit, you will be left in the dark and you can grin all you want avout how much you did things. But no one knows.
This is for øarge companies though and easier to be noticed like they say here when the company are smaller.
Make them comply, and not defy.

Giving me negative feedback ratings without a legit explanation, and preventing me from transferring to something else. So I quit, on my exit interview I fired a few f*** you rounds his way but in a manner where I didn't lie or exaggerate. Apparently I wasn't alone in my sentiment because within 6 months my old boss got fired.
Step on their shoes, without messing up their shine.
Yeah that want for positive attention. Most successful ones let others take credit and downplay their contributions.
The dislikes are from the bosses that didn't take EXTREME OWNERSHIP due to their ill intended egos that narrates their truths in order to shine a light on their accomplishments and pave the road with the blame/faults of others.
I can see clearly through the BS.
Even when the unbalanced EGO is knotted, twisted, and tied in a never ending cycle of BS,
I can see still step over, under & or through it with a balanced EGO that the boss has no intention of developing the necessary discipline it takes to have extreme ownership of yourself, your employees and the residents that are under their care. Once you have that thinking, one tends (or they should) break their selves down and starts to take extreme ownership, it will take u through massive changes that will make one uncomfortable when one has been pushing down the emotions of denial, anger, hurt, jealously, trauma & so much more.
So on point.
Feel like this applies to all boss employee relationships. Team or no team
Agree with - if you completely reject the boss then you further divide the team and should therefore aim for balance. Although this can be challenging to do it makes strategic sense for your long-term professional reputation. Thanks!

What does the negativity do to your soul?
Putting out a fire takes dirt not wood
What if you're an intern in this situation and the team leader treats you less than the others and ignores your input no matter how much it'd ease everyone's lives but instead wants you to do copy paste, Google translate, such no brain tasks? Although you're the only one actually specialised in a large part of the subject matter..
So true - so difficult - especially when top of chain of command are elected officials
What if your leader is hurting the team despite your efforts and your peers and your partners in business? Is there an ethical obligation to do something different?
You can never win with a bad boss. If that bad boss makes his superiors’ day even one increment easier, even by neglecting those under him, they will always prefer his side/situation over yours. Basically it’s “don’t let any shit make it to my plate and you’re golden”.
So what do you do when it never goes noticed? You don’t get the raise you don’t get the promotion you don’t get the recognition from the big dogs but you work your ass off
I think videos on this topic will lead the way to foundation for Jaco‘s next book. Here’s the problem, most of us are not leaders. Most people in charge are not leaders and see no problem with not being performatively a leader. In spite of this, we come to this contact to learn how to lead ourselves in the face of bad and blind leadership. Could we see a book coaching us about what to do in the face of bad leaders? A manual, if you will.
Change echo to tack. Dude is sharp as it gets.
I like it 👌
2:27 something like "kill everyone"

How are your biceps larger than your heads? How does that occur in an individual?
Curls for the girls bro
The only way to me is do your job and your boss may leave you alone.
Just got a new job been waiting for training for 3 months and keep getting in trouble for making mistakes what to do?
Ask for help
Show that you're trying and try a little harder...if u still can't get it ask for help
I have tried to get after it and asked for training by emailing the director with no guidance on who is my manager or day to day tasks

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Colossians 3:23-24
This is one principle that I disagree with Jocko. This treatment goes on for years, and the uppers do not notice where the success comes from. The higher-ups are leaders themselves and believe that all success comes from the direct manager. The direct managers always claim successes for themselves, and then they move on.

lol how about the Boss in the Kitchen?

Look Jocko, you are no longer in the Air Force "Green Barrets".. I would really love to see do a cooking show, or mabey a DIY episod on how to build a shelf.. just to see you chill a little bit:)

First like good video
It’s not so clear cut often times, the reality of it is that more so than not, there are other variables that come with a negative boss and are usually the ones that break the team. For one, the “let’s win no matter what” mantra is usually not there as in, the very people charged with carrying out the mission no longer care enough to make it happen, and willingly let the job crash and burn, the co-workers generally don’t like each other so that enhances the already poor leadership and to cap it off by the time a shitty boss is outed, the team doesn’t want to or have the will to rebuild and regroup, thus letting everything turn to a pile of shit with disgruntled people grinning like idiots and walking away. I’ve seen it on both the military and civilian side, I’ve seen subordinates become so disgruntled that they risked their positions to purposely ruin their bosses careers (and it worked) but it should have never got to that point. On another occasion a project superintendent was eventually bullied and threatened with physical harm by an irate employee which resulted in a transfer of that leader and termination of that employee (that boss was an asshole BTW) and it did kill 2 rotten birds with one stone. Bottom line, none of that should have happened, and I rest the blame squarely on the leader for not having the thoughtfulness, organization, foresight and emotional intelligence to deal with subordinates and also lacking in knowledge of the job they are supposed to be running. I feel the number one killer of leadership is the person charged with that duty, don’t know or understand the job they are leading in. This is a train wreck waiting to happen when trying to lead longtime experienced personnel. In the leadership schools I’ve attended in the military, there are significant gaps in how to approach situations though I understand the novelty of certain scenarios I feel that the “shut up and keep leading” method does not work if everyone in your unit, group or whatever vehemently hates your guts. Unfortunately the only remedy for it is removal and replacement due to lack of confidence. For my own safety I would not want to go into battle with teams like that. I remember the stories my grandfather used to tell about know it all big mouthed “useless LT’s” in WW2 and Vietnam that mysteriously disappeared and people in platoons just generally not looking out for one another in the field because they couldn’t stand each other.
Jocko, I really hate my boss, he gave me a weird list. This list is filled with certain people that our side has to shove into a train outta town. Now I don't know these people they seem perfectly normal to me.
There are 14 people with the last name Willink on the list.
Should I take your advice and win?
38 minutes late
2 hours late
Hey Jocko you believe in prophecies?
Nothing like poor leadership
Wouldn't it be bad to win too much with bad leadership? Fool him into thinking he's a good leader.
Are you guys on our side right now??????? Why aren’t you talking about the government take over????
yawn
This guy is completely wrong....
what a bunch of nonsense ,how you can complete a task when your Boss/owner is worse than your enemies ????????
Stop raising the bass on the audio #cringe
Audio is jacked in EVERY video on this channel and Jocko never sounds the same anywhere else
Wutzido IOthCatchJitsu you should really work on gettin a real problem. #facts
