- In this video, Dr. Peterson explains the traits of a great leader, how to become one, and how to behave with the people in your organization/company.
You'll think you already know what a leader is. I felt so too. I have to admit that when I first heard this, I was surprised by his take on leadership.

My husband was upper management for Oil & Gas/ Halliburton for over 30 yrs/ Aramco last 6 yrs. He retired and now teaches Mathematics. He comes home exhausted because he has a degree in teaching but never used it until now in his late years. The kids enjoy his sense of humor. He has traveled the world and lived in other countries so the kids enjoy his stories. He does encourage them to have goals. Thank you, Jordan. ✝️❤️
Big hugs to him, he has the real life experience to motivate learning and being curious.. kids seem to see school as something adults expect them to do as opposed to doing it because they enjoy learning.
Sometimes I switch on a Jordan Perterson video only to hear his voice for it to comfort me and calm me down in this world of chaos.
My summary of Jordan Peterson explaining the path of genuine leadership:
A leader is someone who knows where he or she is going.
You can’t lead unless you have a destination.
If you have a destination, that implies that you have an ethic, and hopefully, you can communicate your destination with a story.
You shouldn’t want to motivate people. You should figure out something worth doing, something you would commit a substantial portion of your life to, something you have profound reasons for pursuing.
Once you have established your identity as a leader, you should communicate that in a manner that appeals to a people’s sense of purpose.
If you wanted to move forward with someone on an enterprise, you would:
1. Explain the purpose of the Enterprise.
2. Explain why it’s justifiable and more justifiable than anything else you could do simultaneously.
3. Explain what’s in it for you and what’s in it for them, how you could further the enterprise, and what’s in it for both of you.
Jean Piaget, the developmental psychologist, called this an Equilibrated State. A situation set up by two or more people where everyone is participating in the state voluntarily. He derived this notion partly by looking at how children set up games. If children are going to set up a pretend game, they negotiate a little narrative and generate the play by assigning everyone their parts, then manifest the play. That’s how they think. But everyone has to accept their part voluntarily, or the game won’t continue.
Piaget’s ethical analytic claim was that a game that everyone played voluntarily was more sustainable and productive than one that people were forced to play. For Piaget, this became a fundamental distinction between the utility of freedom and tyranny.
Some people would say that the authoritarians win. That was seen as a way of organizing a society. Piaget claimed that the authoritarian enforcement costs were so high that the free society would out-compete the authoritarian society over time.
Now, if you’re going to set up an organization, you can set it up on authoritarian lines. But then, you’re compelling people to perform with punishment and fear when motivating them positively is better.
If you can tell someone what their role is and how fulfilling that role will add to their life, practically speaking and in terms of significant engagement and involvement, and keep in mind certain preconditions should be in place. With competence and a certain amount of conscientiousness, these people will participate in the game voluntarily, and there’s no need to micromanage them. If you have any experience relative to complex processes, you know those are the optimal circumstances to engage with others.
This is saying that you’re all in the same boat going somewhere exciting, and everyone’s got a role to play. You’re all in this together, and it’s working out for each of you.
Let’s say you have your organization and goals, you’re out to do something worthwhile, and you can tell a good story about that. You’ve got people on board; it’s time to get productive. You’ve got two choices. You could tell people to go home and spend four or five hours formulating a career plan to contribute to the organization, or you could say, go home and formulate a plan for your life that includes your job at this organization as a subset. If you do that with people and run those people in a head-to-head competition for a year to see who is most productive, the answer is that the people who formulated the plans for their lives are 10% more productive. This implies that you can gain a 10% increase corporate-level productivity by having your people write a plan for their lives.
You want your employees to be doing something useful with their lives, to have something they’re engaged in, because if they can’t do that for their life, what makes you think they’re going to do that for your organization?
You want them to see how working for you serves their higher-order purpose. And if it doesn’t, because maybe they can’t formulate that integrated hierarchical relationship well, they should find another job because that isn’t the job for them. If their job is running at cross purposes with their life, how will they be motivated?
Imagine you’re trying to get everyone pointing in the same direction, not by eliminating all diversity of opinion but by ensuring that the overall organization has a point and everyone within the organization has their point. Still, they’re integrated within the overarching coherent narrative. That’s the purpose of leadership. To make that work at every level of the organization is what you want to do. It’s challenging, but you will build the best organization that way.
Companies often produce mission statements as a side effect of a bunch of other things it’s doing, and that doesn’t work. It means that it is mostly hand waving, which makes employees very cynical. That’s the case at the upper echelons of complex organizations. The people running the organizations have to know what they’re doing and why. And that maximizing profit in the next quarter so that their bonuses are more significant is not a good strategy.
Words like vision and leadership - you can drill down and start to make some sense of them if you’re willing to grapple with them at a certain level of detail. A large part of the meaning of those words has to do with orienting yourself in your life.
Have your employees write out a business plan for their development. If half of them wrote how they could become a better employee, and the other half wrote how they could put their life together correctly, wait a year and measure the performance of the two groups. The people who make the life plan should outperform those who make the business plan. This means that if you’re going to be effective at work, you should be effective in your life, and more importantly, you should have a vision for the direction of your life and understand that your job is serving that purpose. Instantly your job will become more motivating.
People are motivated when undertaking an act associated with the desired goal. Our understanding of that psychologically is profound. We know the circuitry, we know that neurochemicals are involved, and we know the neurophysiology. There isn’t any positive emotion without a forward movement toward the desired goal, and there isn’t any motivation without that positive emotion.
When words like leadership and vision become these impractical, metaphysical concepts that are only vaguely related to the practicalities of performance, that’s wrong. The true meaning of these words should be vital and definable to all leaders.
The leaders most important friend is the first follower. He is the one that motivates others to follow.
Well said!
"Wise" words :)
You are always speaking to me JP.
Thank you for existing.
Thank you for being you.
It's really helping me find me.
And I am sure there a millions of others like me.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
True leaders are extremely rare.
The day i left my mind numbing, soul crushing job of 20+ years still ranks in the top 5 of the best days of my life.
Well, I inadvertently solved two problems at once by watching this video. One with my leadership of others, and another related to explaining the soundness of a government structure which simply failed to lead the people properly.
This is my life right now I’ve been watching you and listening for the past couple weeks and gave me motivation to quit my job and then quit two more jobs just getting more comfortable going on interviews and searching for what I’m worth daily and what will make me happy and providing for my family I just wanted to say that I love and appreciate inspirational speeches that you do
And just to add to it every job that I’ve been starting I’ve been busting my butt proving that I’m worth more and even though I knew I was leaving because I had other jobs set up I worked as hard as I could so I knew that I deserve what I was asking for and I doubled my pay over the past 2-3 years now in the construction field And I know it’s gonna take time but I could see the end of the tunnel but I have my own business and am successful
Ive said this from the very beginning. It's so very true .
You know. I glad to hear you're studies.
Thank you
Every now and then someone uncovers something that you haven't previously seen or comprehended, yet it was right in front of you in plain sight. Honestly, this is one of those times - what leadership actually is.
To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.
Only the heart and not the head while handling others?
it sounds nice and all that but it's not practical
Lead them to know themselves and that requires the criteria
Mr peterson, thank you sir for being a voice of truth. May our Lord's peace be with you and your love ones just remember sir God is in control. Amen
Link the original video please.
JP is a great motivation and he is my real life manifestation of intelligence combined with courage. But this time, I have to beg to differ. I do everything I can to lead in the way JP is advocating here. Honestly, this style needs a well oiled system to monitor and manage people, the authoritarian machinery. A real business organization simply does not work with being a philosophical leader only.
Words to live by:
If you're going be effective at work, then you should, first of all, be effective in your life."
The best managers make a point to thank people for their hard work.
I would like to add this belief to my CV/Resumé...this lesson is what I believe in!!!
Is about observing at the very beginning...
Nice Video
He has explained the aim of stating an aim and purpose. And the purpose of stating an aim and purpose.
Love you Jordan.
@Julie2 an aim and purpose is easy when you don't have other men trying their hardest to control the outcome of your life to benefit their own. It is extremely hard to accomplish any task, for me, and half the time I have to re-aim and repurpose just to reach the next step. So it is what it is. Talk is cheap and easy to give others advice, be t until you lived in their shoes than you have NO idea who, what, when, where. So my advice to myself is "let others be, and do you boo, do you, cuz ain't nobody else walked a mile in your shoes. So hold your head up and fight a good fight with God as your friend to guide you and give you TRUE advice, cuz who best to get it from, then from the one who designed you and loves. Humans can lie, for selfish reasons, God cannot lie!!"
@@julieshrout9835 I am not reading that. Cba so if u paraphrase I might.
Anyone know the original source/video? Thanks in advance.
U have been influencing all the way
❤️❤️❤️
I love this message .
Would you be able to implement this idea in a classroom 🤔
Certainly! Check Michael More's videos about schools in Finland.
"..that's my job!" - Dr. Jordan Peterson
Nice clip for some people.
What the speaker says applies only to a very narrow part of the spectrum of jobs and organizations.
👍
Is it applicable also to low-paid jobs in a low-paid sector? Where people go to work for the money and the work means a lot of simple movements within 8 hours.
Yes. And it has been shown. It will bring about wholesome change for the better. But it is vital that the leaders of the countries implement labour force protecting laws, that companies have to follow - it hasn't happened in the third world countries, yet. And in some so called developed countries they make it difficult for labour unions to improve working conditions, which is bad leadership, of course.
I recall a story of a janitor working at the main NASA facility back when we were launching astronauts to the moon. When a VIP passed by him & asked the man "What is it you do here?", the janitor's humble response was "Sir, I am helping Neil Armstrong get to the moon."
The teacher
I'm not worshipping the man, but he makes so much sense I don't know HOW people could disagree with his words. But I'm curious. So for the interest of my mental development, does anyone have any criticisms they'd like to share? No bashing. Something constructive or move along.
The only one criticism that has ever occurred to me in respect to JP, is that, like many good people, he over-estimates human beings. It is, of course, the only way to combat nihilism, so is a paradoxical position.
Live by example and quit bossing everybody around.
These videos do not need music.
you should have an instagram account with all these videos!?!?!?!?
Why are the countries, that structurally offer a better life-work balance for both men and women, so much more efficient and competent than the USA?
Because leaders in the USA believe in unsubstantiated ideologies, isn't that obvious?
US leaders would do well to apply what Jordan B Peterson says in this video-snippet. For example in Finland, the "happiest" country in the world, even all small school-children get the vital insights mentioned as success-factors in this speech.
These so called "happier" countries are not actually happier, and they are not more efficient and competent than the USA. This belief that they are comes from leftist propaganda, agenda driven "surveys" constructed and done by leftist that want to give an image of their ideology that is positive. People on the conservative side enormously value Freedom, small non intrusive government, low taxes, self determining individual actions where they arent controlled or restricted by authoritarians, and individual accountability. But these values are NEVER included on these "surveys". Instead, they are filled with questions that try to get people to believe that happiness comes from Big Government, totalitarianism and authoritarianism, high taxes, socialism and large social programs, the removal of individuality and imposing identity groups, where your individuality means nothing and you are defined only by which group you belong to.
Government medical care, government owned business, government welfare, government employment insurance, government retirement, government paid school from k-doctorate where the government determines what the student learns, government dictated morality and its enforcement with censorship and compelled speech, complete government control over your life from cradle to grave. And to pay for it all, massive taxes. These surveys can manipulate the questions in such a way that they can get people to answer exactly how they want, then "prove" that people are happier.
SURE we all want good medical care, protected utility companies that make sure the lights come on, help during bad times, good education for ourselves and our children, low crime and good police enforcement of criminals. These leftist "surveys" can easily get people to answer "yes" to their form of those. But the surveys dont present NON government ways of doing these thing that do them way better than the government, and they never point out the complete removal of all semblance of individual Freedom
Personally I get infuriated by the extensive government interference in my life, and how much I have to walk THEIR walk, and not mine. NONE of these "surveys" ask about that, and how UNhappy that makes people.
2:09 of this video says it all. "a game everyone plays voluntarily is more sustainable and productive than one that people have to be forced to play".
@@BrazilianBikini38 People in these happy countries feel they have a lot of freedom, also to be entrepreneurs - and foreigners line up to move to them. Citizens in these "in an adult way happy" countries don't want to move away, but are free to do so, and with their excellent education, they surely could.
By leftist you must understand anything that isn't raw capitalism, which is not livable in the long run.
In the happiest or "goodest" countries the majority people sure feel they are playing more voluntarily and sustainably, and on a more level playing field, too.
But in all societies there exist some, who are the least agreeable, and you know who they are.
Most of the trouble for people in general come from the acts of the least agreeable group. In the happiest countries the majority doesn't let themselves be dominated by this extreme group. Even the prisons are humane, comparing to less happy countries, but even there, the least agreeable are forced to stay in prison, if they break the laws. And the judges and police are less corrupt.
Not everything can be counted in money, which on top of it, is very unreliable in these days, with currencies and companies one cannot trust at all. I cannot see the great freedom in being forced to play with cheaters. Even if you know they are beforehand.
Boeing should listen to this
So as a leader you shouldn’t motivate.You should inspire others.
I'm a retired senior murder squad detective and dealt with scores of killings. We had a good detection rate and the solving of the crimes was the major motivating factor in driving my staff towards success as they realised that if they messed up an investigation the killer may go on to murder someone else. I have a huge respect for Dr Peterson but has he considered someone such as me who had a leadership job outside of the ordinary?
I'm sure you are able to apply any creative ideas to your needs and situation, you don't need JBP to solve them - he speaks here to very young people who have no life-experience, yet, and easily get lost.
Peterson--leader with excellence
Background music--- Marxism
Won't happen, but it would be so beneficial to run an experiment of like companies in the same industry with one running what Peterson is advocating here versus one running the anti-human woke theology and see the results.
I never wanted to be a hero since middle school. I was already criminally negligent when I was at my best.
So what does that mean??? Now what??
@@marlenehussein4530 Don't worry about it, I'm used to it and I'm repenting for it. 😊
@@rulebreaker_xoii repentance is a very interesting state.
@@marlenehussein4530 That's what you think, not me. I take repentance very seriously.
Actually i agree with you as Im in my own state of repentance. Have been for the last 3 months. Really digging deep hoping it will bring about changes in a sudden and horrific circumstance. I hope we both get what we are searching for.
So if leadership is getting others to see their faults and willingly change them: how do you get people to understand that their fault is that none of them want to be led? It would seem these days everyone thinks they have the answers to life, which in my opinion is one of the main reasons the world is so jacked up. How does one get everybody else on the same page, when the biggest roadblock to society is that people want to skim through knowledge rather than absorb it in its entirety, then pick and choose what they adhere to. How do we bring society back to a social state where adults know who to listen to and trust, kids listen to the adults while trying to better themselves rather than simply existing and gobbling up all the pop culture filth their little brains can absorb. If everything seems to boil down to right or wrong, left or right, yes or no, up or down; how do you get the world to agree long enough for peace to appear on the horizon?
What makes you believe you understand what other people want? That’s the issue: leaders, or more likely, self-appointed leaders, mistakenly know what’s wanted by the team. Too often, on the large national scale, it is that when my tribe wins, yours loses.
Sounds like Milton Friedman’s pencil for a trifling sum.
The difference between 'winners' and 'losers' is simple. The winner seeks ways and means to move forward and accomplish the task at hand even when there are obstacles. The loser seeks the ways and means to remain static and looks for obstacles as an excuse to remain static. Regardless of your job, even flipping hamburgers or stocking shelves, the person who looks for solution to obstacles, to always move forward to produce results will advance and become successful, and leave the loser who looks for excuses behind. If you have developed the habit of looking for excuses, so the boss always has to think for you and find solutions for you, you are a habitual loser and you can expect to be at the bottom of the social order. If you develop the habit of finding solutions and moving ahead so the boss doesn't have to think for you and you produce results, thinking for yourself even if you're 'wrong', you can expect to climb to the top of the social order. This is the fundamental difference between winners and losers and few people understand how simple this is. Of course none of this matters in a socialist/communist society, and that's why they always fail and can never succeed, because socialism/communism rewards both winners and losers as equals.
As a loser , I wholeheartedly agree with your analysis .
That’s all good if you know you’re going to be a ‘winner’. Most folks are not ‘winners’ by that definition. If one assumes a world where the winners and losers are not known in advance then the world would look much different than the one we live in. Success bias is a real thing and we live in it. History and success are defined by the winners who are not living the life most of deal with.
I agree wholeheartedly, pl. The losers are not adept at finding solutions and develop an "excuse mentality". It's a way of evading responsibility, and without taking responsibility, one can never succeed in life or career.
2:05 Jordan talks about everyone accepting their roles or they wont play, then the little girl snatches the chicken from the boy 😂
Read about King Solomon ,, Giulius Caesar , Guy Mario, Napoleon, et cet . Hannibal. Joshua
Yep, world domination was the usual goal. No issues there….
Now apply this thinking to the current pandemic and understand why people are resistant to vaccines. He's nailing this truth, so much of life seems to be what's in it for _us_, and not you or me.
Pass a story over from someone that shocked that they did it for nothing. A complete stranger helped you when everyone else was blind.
hahaha it is crazy how we believe that our brain works like our leaders hope it does: as some kind of a goal and role oriented device. When was your last goal being set? When did you use your brain the last time? For what did you use it? Right...
The goal discussed will help or hurt depending on its truth.
Isn't maximizing profits for the next quarter, the definition of ' sociopath '?
Definately not
Correct. If that is the only goal then all means are available.
What does it even mean to be productive? I don't share the same goals as the rest of the world, and many of my goals the world does not share. Without motivation, without something to attain or strive towards, there is no ability to be productive, there is no movement toward a goal if there is no goal. Counterproductive and productive action are the same with no goal, they are meaningless and all behavior is that with no goal. Society took away the goalpost for me, so now the fill in is watching society burn and whither, which is my new goal not because I chose that but society chose it for me by taking away my other goals.
What is productive for many is now counterproductive for me and visa versa. I see now that many don't have anything left to teach me.
KING JESUS CHRIST is returning. Repent of your sins 🌈🙏.
Sir G jis islami country ki story app suna rahe hain waha Islam k nam leva zaroor hain magar islami banda koi nh, islamic philosophy ko understand karne or nafiz karne wala. koi leader aya he nh,..
Welcome to fairytale land. No matter how much you try be a fair and just leader It's all about doing what ever it takes to lie, cheat, steal, and eliminate your competitors. Because "money " is the ultimate end to the means. A true leader is a person that cares about getting people to work together in order to establish a product or service that is beneficial to the well being of everyone. Worker and customer.(money excluded)
dont listen to this fool
listen to peter joseph
Lol so god is a terrible leader, okay
The pied piper .......be so careful of his rhetoric.
