Geez I wish more bosses were like Jocko! "Build a new leader, it's a beautiful thing". The tertiary education sector just relies on keeping people down so others don't look bad.
I wish I had Jocko to learn from when I was in the Marines and then in the corporate world. I learned this stuff the hard way. A lot of it I didn't learn.
Ohhh no... what is “Florida Man” getting himself into this time? What kinda crazy new headline are we gonna hear about now from the infamous Florida Man?
I'm really tiered and broken as a leader from my company (I'm 19 years in this company), it's sick how they see and think from the hard working people. There is no WE can do it, they (other "Leader") are so fu**ing selfish and searching for failure from the hard working people. It's frustrating as a leader I work and build my worker up, and as a thanks my chef put me down and say " u have to be cold to the people" my answer "that is not my way" now I'm really ready to quit my job in this company. Thanks for your podcast greetings from Germany
wish we had more management with your mindset. my family is from Germany and they tell me the training and management is so much better than America. here in the states, you get little to no training then thrown in with the wolves and get shit on when you get bit
The good news to take from this situation is that you've got 19 years of experience running things. You can take that, use it to start your own business with your values, and build the culture you want.
Jocko, what do you when a team member is only interested being the boss and not interested the team but only the betterment of his or her personal status and is willing to brown nose or use other "no integrity" tactics?
How to become a good leader? Never forget you started out in the trenches and don’t be “above” that mindset ever. More importantly, don’t be afraid to let your subordinates fail at times. That’s training purposes. And don’t set your people up to fail.
Ever since I heard your Peterson podcasts I’m enamored by you both and this podcast. We in America live in a safety bubble and I believe part of public education should be forcibly leaving that safety bubble. At the very least within a book. Like Cannibal Island. I actually felt physical pain listening to both intros where you interview Peterson. God bless you both. Much love. I feel like my life has forever been impacted.
Everyone wants someone who should be their boss to work under them and let them take the credit/promotions/pay, but that type of person is a leader, not a follower - they will not submit like that.
So I did this to someone who wanted to be in charge. The moment responsibility was handed out they got more upset due to the increased work load and accountability. It's a repeating process. Guy wants to be in charge but have none of the responsibility. How to communicate here?
its all fun and games until if your team member succedes you get less money because next month less clients will be assigned to you..... what then? i helped a team member and i got penalized for it prettymuch...
A friend would like another good leader to come along and take the stress of the position. Unfortunately the most competent responsible person died. The handful of others don’t want it. Many years later this narcissistic destructive low skill person wants to lead. I’m not sure they’d realize or admit blowing things up if given the chance. Edit: I said “now what?” originally, but my friend loved the advice of handing off a big responsibility and it would be a chance to address some of the knucklehead things and if the person transforms into an awesome leader, great.
I have a question for the fans, does Jocko bring enlisted men on the podcast? Aside from Tim Kennedy. I see a lot of officers, but no enlisted men. I dont keep up very often, so I’d appreciate some feedback, thank you!!
But what if its you who just got promoted and now its your chance to show the boss u can handle the job and your good at it and u finally feel good cuz uv worked hard. But then u got ppl trying to tell u how to do shit. Like overly do it to your every move. When u not evan wrong in the first place. When its ur chance to prove to the boss u can do it. In that u wouldnt just wanna pass the duty cuz u wanna show u can do it.
You talk alot about allowing others to lead, my question is what if you have a different vision then them of how to accomplish a mission or a project, how do you entrust them with that responsibility without trying to stay the leader?
His advice is good but doesn't apply to every single situation. Jocko is only offering an idea, a perspective, a different way of doing things for us to try. It is by no means a "magic bullet" formula that works every single time guaranteed or your money back.
woah echo talking smack about making decisions on the types of pens 😑 I had that responsibility and was instantly crushed when I brought red pens to the office
