Jocko I lost my wife a year ago, she died unexpectedly from the flu and pneumonia. Your podcast has brought me much inspiration and solace during these trying times. But now I am looking to restart my life. I have three daughters and i struggle with depression often. I want to lead my daughters to the best of my ability but i feel inept. I want to move on, but I cant see past the past. Thank you for the inspiration you have provided already, but do you have anything that can help me build relationships from here on out, and lead my daughters the right way
Mourn the time that you feel like it, then clean your room. Jocko and Jordan will help you forward. Be the example. Have routines. You will be just fine.
I like the idea of an individual catch up after a meeting if necessary. Effective use of time and closing up questioning. However, I think the key is bringing people in and getting them involved, as they feel responsible for what's been decided on
Gregor McScrobble I learned it from Les Brown, who started my interest in listening to motivational speakers. He was talking about the importance of a mentor, and also that sometimes you need to believe in someone’s belief in you for yours to kick in. So it’s hard to evaluate yourself and be objective because you’re in the picture and don’t have an outsider’s perspective. He has some great clips on RUclips, a 6-part series on iTunes for $1/each too. He led me to listening to “The Strangest Secret in The World.”
I wasnt in the military, I'll say that real quick. I've been leadership before at previous jobs. I just took a new position and I see the opposition. Especially since some of the ones I beat going for the same job have big mouths. How do I deal with the louder ones and how do I respond without the populous losing respect for me as a leader?
@Agent J yeap, take a .50bmg rd and talk about the opts using it as a "pointer" in the sand,map, board ... that's what Our TL usually did.. made us feel ummm.. cozy !
How to handle a leader who throws you under the bus when in meetings with their leadership. I understand taking ownership of failures and do my best to follow that but in this instance, it is not me taking ownership but my SQ CC who puts failures on me to their leadership, recommendations?
Jocko, how can I tell the difference between someone who knows what they are talking about and I should listen to vs someone who has a big ego and thinks they know better than everyone else. Thank you
The team needs to trust the leadership and bring up questions after the brief, this ain’t no committee. Fine tuning or clarification is one thing but blatant disregard for the brief is another. So slow when something is covered in the very next sentence of the brief but we have to stop for every thought that pops in a rocket scientist’s head.
I wonder how he handles people that literally work for another branch or outside private company that hed like to have listen to him but ultimately don't have to
Respectfully, there is a difference between questioning a decision or a plan and questioning leadership. Lets say you bois get a woman boss who is ultra competent but they will not accept her as a leader because their personal value base does not allow for a woman boss. So now you have usually good workers kicking back for this arbitrary reason and bringing down productivity. What do you do then?
That is the time for administrative steps to be in place. Your paycheck is a contact to give your best version of yourself possible in your efforts and actions for the company. WE are all adults and should be able to work through any fact based/ field related issues that might arise. Changing your production because you are involving emotion is not the right response. Finally I love jockos answer and his add-odd about a 1-1 after a briefing. You need constructive additions from team members because these are the people you trust, If they feel the need to raise a concern, or request clarification they are doing it for the betterment of the team.
🔥🔥🔥 If not ALL stakeholders/planners/team members are considered and, (worse) ignored, you will get what's coming and leadership will lose at least thrice - 👉 1) The mission as well as 👉 2) a team member who they, themselves, qualified for the mission 👍 and, additionally, 👉 3) their own qualification for being seen as leader when losing a team member whom they, themself, accepted into the fold.🔥🔥🔥 ⏭ ⏭ Yep - don't ignore the one willing to step out of the line from a herd's PoV willing to point something out beyond the herd's assumptions/presumptions/attachments driving the team's subsequent efforts at paying due diligence on their subscribed PoV upon which decisions for actions AND corresponding inactions are about to be based.
@Jocko Have you, or any of your 'ex friends', know about this guy and his work? ruclips.net/video/OhjkqLhbgu8/видео.html I'm ex-Navy, MM3, and I think you and your 'friends' might be able to help with this guys missions. Just hoping to connect two youtubers together to help society as a whole. Keep up the great work!
if you are the leader? recognize they are a brown noser first... then make sure that you are not rewarding that behavior(just like not rewarding a tattle tale). if they get the result they want, it will continue.
No offense to anyone we all have our faults. But it really pisses me off that I will still get crushed by a guy who can’t read and we’re the same age. They’re just jealous of you my ASS!

The Best thing you can get out of this episode is that Jocko communicates secure leadership. People who act like they know where they are going.
This channel should be renamed "Alpha Problems"
"How well you lead determines how well you succeed."
@mike force Correct unfortunately
Spot on, Jocko!! A good leader should always involve his troops if possible-and be flexible if a weakness or flaw is highlighted.
Jocko: “Hey Leif, did you think about this?”
Leif: “CANCEL THE OP!!!!!!!”
Girlfriend broke up with me.
GOOD.
Now i can go find Stacy’s mom.
Does she have *_it_* going on?
@@ffnovice7 She does indeed have it goin' on.
But I’ve waited for so long.
Martin Clement well it's about time to get it on
If you can't get *it* on...
GOOD

Every time I went to leadership training we were taught to ask our followers for their feedback and concerns, and to address them immediately.
I love u jocko at 12 listen to u all the time and saw u on crowder hope u see this
Solid discussion Jocko and Echo!! :)

Do plan to have Jonny Kim on anytime soon?
He's busy planning to become the future president atm
I love this podcast! Would love you to get Marcus Luttrell on, that would be awesome.
What do you do if you are in a leadership position and people notice your skinny knees ?
Assess...the knees...
How to deal with leadership being questioned..
Start talking with a knife
I just saw him pick up the huge knife just now Lol!! :)
Wrong, start talking with the knife HAND🤚
@Agent J yeap, take a
.50bmg rd and talk about the opts using it as a "pointer" in the sand,map, board ... that's what Our TL usually did..
made us feel ummm.. cozy !
@Agent J yes Sir
when Jocko pulled that knife out I was afraid for Echo Charles life.
I’m use to only listening on Spotify. I’ve always pictured Echo Charles as the very talkative guy on Ant Man. Please tell me someone else agrees.
Spot on.
Take a drink everytime he says the word 'plan'.
Plan is key
Gotcha

Me - Hey jocko just found out I have about 6 months to live.
Jocko - good

you can apply this to basically anything
By pointing foundations out if built on sand they all fall! When it starts shaking! 😆
WHAT IF PEOPLE QUESTION MY....
SKINNY KNEES??????
Use those others perspectives. Ego, No Factor.
Jocko looks like a halo spartan character coming to life
Please bring some new war story heroes. All the battle story vets podcasts rock man
👍
@6:52 Jocko realizes he has some spinach between his teeth from lunch
What's the plan

Broken poison possible phone hacked . targeting me in everything.
