“The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.” ― Ronald Reagan
This has worked fantastically when I was in blue collar work (trucking, forestry) and absolutely terrible in white collar office situations. Bosses that are working alongside you appreciate the extra step. If I went the extra mile to win in a corporate setting, all it brought me was trouble and gossipy bullshit. It’s why I’ll only do legitimate “work”, not some nonsense paper pushing.
I’m a temporary lead mechanic due to the COVID pandemic. I’ve worked on the floor with my shift crew. I understand and feel not being heard. Since being the lead I am active in their work. If they need help, a boost of morale and trusting in them that they’ll get the job done, I’m there actively and not just be in the office sitting back. Any news I get I relay to them as soon as I see and or hear it. Been going strong since April.
Retired MMA-ers seem to be open to training Police Officers in Escalation and (mainly) Application of Force. The biggest part of training I remember is to first determine what damage the assailant has the "means" to inflict. Neutralize as per using least violent methods required/available. Loving the show($).
One question that arises from this is what if what your boss is asking would cause substantial OT and an imbalance to work and life overall. Do you still sacrifice as a subordinate ? Also i find i have had 3 leads in 6 months, the cycle of moving talent up is aggressive having to continually restart the trust and team building with a new lead is challenging for many reasons.
My boss is the type who just turns to the closest proximity person to discuss new ideas. Unfortunately it is typically the low productivity person at the front desk. I've put in effort to be up there and have had my chances for those discussions with my boss. But I came to realize, he is also low productivity and I'm just spinning my wheels here. I'm one if the highest paid employees and I've been making a path for a promotion that doesn't benefit my life very much and the pay is still less I could get elsewhere. It would really be more experience and good references... Anyway, I've decided to just put my nose to the grindstone and perform at my highest while practicing my communication skills. Doing things like literally trying to be up front more for that facetime is proving suboptimal returns for the energy and time investment.
I noticed the people complai8 about Dave Burkes appearances have left after hearing about him landing the super hornet on a carrier at night, in fog , with zero viz. More than once!
There's a time for suggestions and there's a time to just get the task done. What he's saying is you shouldn't always be the person wanting to make changes to a plan or expressing your ideas. Sometimes its better just to execute and make changes in the field as needed. If the job gets done, the boss is happy.
How can you build trust with your boss if he's a sociopath? In my experience most business leaders are sociopaths because they are very good at manipulating people.
CareFever when the pandemic is over, try to find a new job. As a backup plan, if he says anything unprofessional to you around witnesses, check with them to make sure they heard what you heard. you can use their testimony against him to support your claim when you file a wrongful termination lawsuit, if you lose your job. Blowing the whistle now may seem like a good idea, but it will also burn bridges, and make it harder for you to find work later. I haven’t experienced racial discrimination, but I have experienced gender discrimination, and this is my plan in the interim.

This has to be the funniest Jocko clip

Even though Steve jobs a tyrant to work for
Timely message. Something I needed to hear. Thanks Jocko
Same here, the timing couldn't be better
Hope yall are doing good
This is the best Jocko clip 🔥

I like this quote!
By far the funniest Jocko Willink clip
🔥 😂 th-cam.com/video/dJ3S-LI7tZE/w-d-xo.html
This strategy got me promoted above peers. Thanks for hitting this important topic Jocko.
In this modern day, we have to get along with people, because we're now out numbered.

Would love to hear your thoughts and experience around servant leadership! Loving the book. You're making a difference Jocko!
"Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." (The Godfather Rule)
Very timely. Nailed it, Jocko! Much appreciated.
Great stuff. Set the example! Something happens when you shift your mindset from my employees don't work for me, i work for my employees.
People always talking about the intimidation of Jocko but haven’t seen Echo
I’ve never seen Jocko act like this
😂 😂 th-cam.com/video/dJ3S-LI7tZE/w-d-xo.html
Your wife and kids are lucky to have you. Thanks for the help. Buying your book .
Hell yea brother. Love the interviews. Helps me get through my terrible days
Jocko lays it down as usual
That last part is perfect jocko

You inspired me to start an audiobook channel! I am a big fan and follower! Forever grateful!
You have to build trust. Bad bosses don't trust you.
The way this guy talks is exactly like Jocko
In the meantime I will work on myself, and work on my weaknesses. Then when I meet that leader, we should have a lot in common.
No other answer would be better than this one! The boss needs a person who can get things done. Not those who complains and keeps whining all over.
Great advice, thx

Good stuff here.

Just get it done and improve the team got team improvement’s sake. Great message.
HAHAHAH, perfect Jocko imitation at 1:37! 👏🏻
Last night I fell asleep at 10 and woke up at exactly 4:31. I’m currently eating toast and I feel great surprisingly

Dave speaks a lot like Jocko, cadence and such.
At Work=No Friends!!!
What about an older leader?
Woah. This is a very useful, interesting take.

Aren't you a bad boss if you see suggestions for a better way of completing a task as a negative on the individual?
There's a time for suggestions and there's a time to just get the task done. What he's saying is you shouldn't always be the person wanting to make changes to a plan or expressing your ideas.

They talk exactly the same. Same lisp and all . That’s great.different Octave but same lingo.
Common sense to me.

I don't want people to know everything I'm doing..and yet they do... how'd you feel if I knew how many times you flush the toilet!

Make your Trust with God the BOSS OVER ALL other 👑. therefore every one outside of his law you don't trust for their Boss is of the evil one report's!
Jocko, I bet you I can beat you in Command and Conquer the Remastered Version.
Might be time to address the increasingly common non-functioning meritocracy. "Ghosting," etc.
What if your boss is racist? And you are trying to steer clear from him but he just continues to want to be around you. Then what?

Birds of a feather flock together.
Missed it Jocko... tell me what makes a person "trustworthy" anyway ? that will be the answer
