Episode description as stored
The Learning Leader Show
"As the leader, you are responsible for EVERYTHING that happens in your organization."
Show Notes:
Commonalities of leaders who sustain excellence: Humility
Constantly looking to improve
Learning
Willing and able to take criticism
Incredible story of a mutiny within the ranks because of a platoon commander's ego
Way Of The Warrior Kid - The message for children Be humble
Don't give up
Work hard
Ramadi -- The epicenter, insurgency in Iraq The confusion/fog of war
A firefight... Between friendly forces: Who's at fault?
Jocko took ownership - "As the leader, I'm responsible for everything that happens on that field. It wasn't your fault, it's mine."
"If you make a mistake, you must own it."
Owning the mistakes created confidence and trust with Jocko's boss
How do you handle a bad boss? Make them look good
Ask for feedback, advice, ask for their approval, build them up
Isn't that manipulation? "Yes..."
"It's not just what you preach, it's what you tolerate."
Decentralized command -- Empowering junior leaders to make important decisions. Front line leaders must be empowered. Why? Speed Being empowered as a quarterback to call an audible -- Why this was an optimal way for us to attack a defense and ultimately win games. The coaches needed to trust and empower me to do this
Are leaders born or made?
Characteristics of great leaders? They take complex things and simplify them
They are articulate
They are loud (seems strange, but it's true for military leaders and a quarterback)
How much can you learn? You must detach emotion, and be decisive.
Why wake up at 4:30 am? "It is time for me to own, it's before everyone else is awake"
Favorite part of work? - Podcasting and working with companies
How has Jocko created this lifestyle? -- Many years of consistent, sustained work "Discipline Equals Freedom."
His discipline for many years has helped him create a lifestyle that he loves
"It's not just what you preach. It's what you tolerate."
