I was a 2LT Platoon Leader with less than a week on the job (I was a prior service NCO) when we did a Platoon Defensive Night Live Fire followed by an After Action Review. I started the review, with the Battalion Commander, Company Commander, and Platoon in attendance by saying here are the things we did well, here are the things I failed to do, and here’s how we fix it. My Platoon Sergeant said he had never seen an officer take responsibility before. Unfortunately, he never did take ownership.
Man I have been used to competent managers. Then I got to work with real shitheads who would blame everyone but themselves. They made an easy overstaffed project into a hell dive. Myself in situations of managing, I realize that I have sometimes stopped midway. I have not taken full ownership of things, and this has led to some issued taking longer than necessary to be solved. I shall act wiser from now. Thanks for the lesson !
Great stuff, I’ve switched from speaking and giving my opinion first to sit back, listen, ask questions and let them take the lead. Doing the former makes people less inclined to take the reins and it ultimately hurts my own productivity. My team asks me too many questions are constantly looking for my approval. I think they think I don’t trust them. Also, I think they are fearful of making mistakes and taking bad decisions and that’s on me because I speak and give my opinions first.
Your motivation and common sense and logic keep me going. When life gets dark, I turn to your podcasts to help pull me back up! Ready First! 1AD 1BCT 501st FSB Thank you!
In a volunteer organization, where nobody is being paid and there are no obligations for anyone to do anything…no contracts were signed…THAT is the most challenging scenario as I see it. What do you do when you have absolutely no leverage? I’ve had to learn this…to become a leader I’d be honoured to follow…I’ve learned so darn much…about what really matters.
this works only when every single one is dedicated to taking ownership. otherwize you will absolutly take ownership of things you are half responsible for and even not at all. if someone is not directly under your supervision - you are not responsible for them.
Show them the power of taking ownership. Even if you are the only one who does, you gain control over the problems and the power to solve them. If you build a culture where taking ownership is applauded and celebrated, then people are more likely to follow suit.
I always take ownership but people - ever since i was a child gave my responsinilities that were not soppoused to be on my shoulders and i learned not to take ownership for peoples feelings and behaviours - the hard way..❤
@@emilystudeno, I think she’s right. I’ve seen it happen. Ppl who take ownership can be overworked and abused for doing it. It all gets piled on them. You need to draw the line on what is not your responsibility.
All i think about when i hear Jocko talk about stuff i think i wish i had a boss like this ! Cuz i try to inplinent what he says i have 2 of his books read em and try to do it but like he says its not easy especially with people that have different views
@@EchelonFront thx for your guidance and info guys. It’s helping to change not just the employees where we work, but also trickles down to better care for our patients.
I made my fortune. My father said its upto each man to make his own fortune. I wanted freedom not responsabilities. If the tweel wasnt stolen my kids would be in thier 20s. At 50 i dont want kids more i want my freedom i dont have the energy for kids.
You wanna take ownership if you care and you think it's worth your time. In current workplace, there is overwhelming technology and most people don't want 100% of the work.
love the graphics on the intro
Thanks, appreciate your support.
Lets GOOOOO! From Sydney Australia.
Get Some

Take ownership, and you gain control of the problems you face.

Wow at 10:46 great insight!
Don't be an easy button. Rather than micromanaging, let your people step up and take ownership.
great content guys! keep em coming!
Thanks for tuning in. We'll keep the videos coming.
I like this Heart Headed Mindset. ✅💯

Sounds like a fixed mindset!
Great point.

Good!
Thank you both!
The best was to transform your organization is to transform yourself
Right on. Ownership starts with you.
Being reasonable
Such great information. As a hospital Nursing supervisor, Im going to implement this in my own life.
This is the way. You can make a huge impact in your organization and life by taking ownership.

I'm late but watching from New Zealand.
Thanks for tuning in. We hope you gain some practical value in taking ownership
Me too... From México
Thanks for tuning in. Own it.
Get some!
Keep getting after it.
This is decentralization of command. Good stuff
Ownership
If your boss is a micro manager, give him a shortcake.
I made my fortune.
My father said its upto each man to make his own fortune.
I wanted freedom not responsabilities.
If the tweel wasnt stolen my kids would be in thier 20s.
At 50 i dont want kids more i want my freedom i dont have the energy for kids.

My message service is open.
I posted this on X on another name regarding #cheatle
Stay hard
Total ownership. Its the only way.
Lame. You cannot make people take ownership for shit they own when they are trying to save their asses....no matter what
Maybe not the typical way. But you can ask pointed questions and the response will reveal the short fall.
