I’m a manager at a fast food, and I know it sounds cheese to compare leadership tactics to handing out burgers and moving the drive thru but this really really helped me when I was just learning how to bag orders and be in charge of the service process. I was consistently getting overwhelmed by the rapid pace of movement going on in multiple areas of the restaurant, and detaching, seeing things a lot clearer really helped me out, really helped the crew out, and we all ended up doing far greater. Thank you Jocko and your crew for these Leadership lessons.
Fast Food might be the most demanding job I’ve worked. If anything, I think I succeeded in Sales cuz that never really went away. Learned more in the workforce in college than I ever did actually in class. Just a “bust ass, grind, and learn” mentality. Glad to hear it helped you!
The ego comment is so relevant. I've struggled working for various managers over the years because of this; it also hinders progress of individuals and I see this in corporations all the time. Good leaders are hard to come by.
I’ve been a technical project manager in two different business entities. Biggest team so far: 50+ people over 4 time zones. Matrix organization. Means, I’ve no direct reports and no empowerment to command them, but to guide them. Anything they didn’t like, they looped back through their managers, which in turn, kicked out manager’s and the project managers as#. Once the team understood their position, the project manager gets demoted to a secretary. Scheduling meetings for the team and taking minutes. Only when the customer was yelling, then it’s the project manager that needed to step up and take the beating. 2 years, roughly >80hr per week, work every weekend excerpt 5 weekends, after I left I was replaced with 3(!) guys and after that my former mgr & team lead, both, quit. So, taking on so many things requires leaders underneath yourself to run something that big. If the organization is weak, the strategy of delegation does NOT work!
Always refreshing to listen to jocko's no bs take, but he also seems to talk over others and make assumptions a lot, as he did while echo was tryin to just finish readin the question.
Jocko, since you have Dichotomy of Leadership as a supplement to Extreme Ownership, how about a Q&A book as a supplement to the Field Manual? I think you both mentioned putting it up on the website. It would be tremendous to have a Jocko black and white/succinct manual for leadership and followership problems!
Jocko read your success magazine article. In it, it mentioned that you had a man to man talk with your daughters boyfriend. Can you expand on how should a father (or brother/elder son) present himself as a dominant figure in their daughters( sisters) lives ? Thank you !
"What if you try to "subscribe" to "certain persons podcast" but when you attempted to, they wouldn't allow access, how do you still "want to get good information but not "break any rules or violate regulations"?
Funny thing is nobody ever exactly said what the hell ownership even meant just that you should do it when it comes to taking different responsibilities and all this other shit starts coming outta no where from people just making their own shi* up lol
The conductor cannot conduct while attempting to play the flute and the violin at the same time. My mind conjured the image of a conductor running through the orchestra trying to take over different instruments while attempting to conduct. It was like an instant Jerry Lewis skit in my head. 😂 Conduct or play the instrument. Play YOUR part. No other way to do it.
Christ is the greatest example of Extreme Ownership! Faith and discipline will carry you through doubt and overwhelming emotion. 2 Corinthians 4.8-9 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
so make your employees feel important to take some slack off from your duties and tasks? many employees can respond with "that's not my job description" or " that's beyond my pay grade" then what? I'm speaking on behalf of retail btw
Firstly i would say you make your employees feel important because THEY ARE important! It has to be genuine. Also if you have put in the work on building a relationship with the employee then they will respect that you probably have other things that are of a higher priority and will understand that you as a leader need there help to achieve the strategical goal. If the trust and respect has been earned already they will jump at the chance to step up and help you. Again very important, you must be genuine with everything you say and do.
Task saturation doesn't exist to my leaders. If Your Task saturated you are obviously not the right person for the jobs, besides if you were any good at task, The leadership would give your task saturation to someone else so you would be free to focus on leading up..

“Just because you take ownership of things it doesn’t mean you have to do everything” That’s the key right there.
Tell that to senior management 😂😂.
Echo is JAAACKED!
His voice doesn't match current physique or presence. Its a world wonder.

Extreme ownership and dichotomy of leadership, amazing books. Recommend both.
Thank you ☺🙌

Very true.
Who is the world would give this a thumbs down?
Those who are slackers, and are of the dichotomy theory of extreme laziness.

@echocharlies always reminds me of Daniel Cormier!
Seems to me the lesson here is that leading in school is nothing like leading in the real world.
