How To Handle Teammates Who Take All Responsibility But Do Substandard Work - Jocko Willink

The first lesson I learned from extreme ownership was for my daughter. Who has a terrible time with ADHD. I realized I needed to take ownership of our diet in order to help her ADHD and eliminate the triggers she has. It was my fault we ate the way we did and it was inexcusable. This change has made amazing improvements in her school productivity and in life.

Jocko, you and echo Charles have seriously helped me out put my mentality in check. Seriously thank you guys for your honest words of wisdom on how to grow mentally as a human being

Jocko, Echo, and Dr. Peterson changed and SAVED my life by helping me understand things I needed to become a better Man. Found all of them on Joe Rogan so props to Joe too!

Every single day I learn to be a better man, better father, better leader and better coach from listening to this podcast ✊

I really need this advice right now. Currently dealing with someone who constantly boasts but always messes things up and then everyone else has to fix it. Makes an already high stress job more stressful.

“When I give you the credit for success, not only do I win covertly in that you look at me and go ‘man he gave me a couple of corrections that were critical to this operation and he’s not even saying anything.’ So you have even more respect for me which means you’re going to work harder for me in the future.” —Jocko Great advice! I can’t tell you how many times I have had great input from people that are above me, that has contributed to the overall product being even better and they give me credit. It does make me want to work harder for them. When they micro manage every little moment then act as if they are better than everyone, I usually feel less motivated to go the extra mile.

I've been this person. I was put into a leadership position at the age of 18. I was one of those "I'm the boss you do what I say" type. I was/am very good at my job. I was just a crap leader at that time. One day it all backfired and nobody would do anything for me. They just sat there and ignored me. My boss found out what was going on and came in to work. Luckily he told me that I needed to go home and one of 2 things are going to happen. I either come back the next day a changed man or I don't come back to work at all. So I went home and got drunk. Went back to work the next day and started the long process of gaining my crew's trust and respect. I eventually did and learned probably one of the most important life lessons that I could have. I have never once looked back on the experience as a negative and I am very thankful for what I learned from it.

"I'm gonna phase you right out. Like you weren't even there." I will start using this now.

jocko’s subtle burn on echo “after the profoundness of your last comment...” ahhahahaha

This is like an injection of pure good father energy straight to my overlooked and undeveloped child parts that somehow got left behind along the way. Thank you.

Man!!! It is just so REFRESHING to hear Jocko talk about ownership. I've read the book twice and not sure just now why I am discovering your channel but now I am going to go on a binge! Thank you so much for what you do!

"when nothing is your fault, what are you gonna fix?" fucking brilliantly said.

I used to take extreme ownership in the way i wouldn't allow for any help and everything was on me, good or bad... I would share the good, and eat the bad... that really wasn't good for my teams or for myself... I've learned since then, that i am accountable and take ownership, but also allow others to partake and share some of both the negative and positive outcomes and that we all grow better from that... sometimes when you are in a leadership role you can be too possessive and you feel like the only person you can rely on is youself, (if you want something done right do it yourself) but if you boost the team you can start to trust in the competent people around you and you all win in the end... great video here!!

I had a SSgt who truly wanted to help, but in doing so would take on so much that most of his work was just average and would cause him to bust suspense's from time to time. We worked on it almost daily for a few months and he eventually understood that there is a balance that needs to be met. Take on as much as you can while meting standards and being on time.

Jocko and Echo are two humans firing on all cylinders. Role models in discipline and determination, and STILL have an open mind. smart killing machines, it’s terrifying to know people like that are out there😂

Glad i stumbled apon this gem of information. Thank you sir,

"the profoundness of your last statement" 😃💖⭐🥰 I love this podcast!!

Thanks for all that advice you deliver and I admire listening to you both. Maybe I can help you out with a little thing now, if you don't know yet: When you edit your clips use an Equalizer in the editing-program or even , if there, a "hum-reduction". Both can eliminate the electric interference somewhere between 50Hz to 80Hz. With an EQ you just find the right spot and turn the specific Hz down. Same is the hum reduction doing, but it is more on spot (depends on your software you use). It will push the quality in an immense way, because this humming sound distracts me from listening. The better option ist to not let it happen, that depends on the studio setup - it can be the light, a fan in the background or even an ungrounded cable. I can't tell from distance. When I listened right, the hum is away on the newer Podcasts anyway. But it could improve this precious older clips before uploading. Wish you the best!
