another way of describing this is: "the way to beat an ultra-competitive person, is to help them win. For those types, the win was never the goal, they need to feel it is them vs the other. If you help them win, you win, but they lose, because the win was not theirs."

Hmm- did similar, other guy just took and took, goal posts kept moving, the more I subordinated the more lines he would cross. I think I subordinated my ego to the point there was no “me” left.

Not sure I remember the quote correctly but I say like harry truman(in my head): it's amazing what you can accomplish as long as you don't care who gets the credit.

having listened to Mr. Jocko, and the best could say was

1. be the voice of sanity, leadership, or service, and let that be the voice, or standard to all, and should be enough

2. battling someone with a grand ego, or false sense of self takes therapy, or almost a team to subdue the worst, and there are calculated risks, worth, or perhaps a future friend, or therapy relation

3. be tough, or set down the law, yell, or let them know you have power, or to decide, and that it's better a good man shames, or mocks the arrogant, or troubled, or that they decide, chaos, or their betrayals

4. don't be afraid to take care of yourself, or realize when either pride, madness, or exploitation has taken a bite of you, or could lead to trauma, note that, and decide to not be a victim more than necessary, to stand your ground when needed, or that sometimes the good fight, or to tremble the demons is to your own people, or their folly, or disgrace

J. Brooks, from a danish health family, and that the cross is more important than the rights of sinners, the deluded, or evil

As someone that grew up with a few inflated egos, I always liked the phrase "Winners move minds in silence"
Letting others wear themselves out, riding positive waves, nudging towards personal goals, (generally) not being confrontational. There will be room for ego in nearly any situation, it just needs to be placed well.

Jocko "I only need one knife on my side of the table" Willink has some good points

[FamilyJeepingAdventures]

Great points! One thing that this also does is by you lowering your ego, it can also lower theirs. Often egotistical people will not hear your point of view until they are heard.

I listened to a couple of monks give their perspective on ego. I would say that was a couple years ago now.
Almost every single problem that we run into ultimately comes down to Ego. The problems we create in the problems we run into always fall back to an ego. Being able to manage it definitely make your life a lot easier and helps you see things for what they really are. You don’t have to be a monk to realize this and you don’t have to see combat you don’t even have to be a navy seal. Jaco puts out tremendous advice so do the monks. EGO!! controlling that ego will minimize your suffering

[justinallen]

My current boss (not a leader) has a huge ego. I have always been humble and work with humility. I still do my best to work with him and not let my ego flare up.

One of the most valuable life lessons in this 10-minute clip

Thanks again, Jocko and team for putting these videos out. I would love for you to release something on how to navigate DEIA in the workplace. Example, a head down hard worker constantly subjected to DEIA trainings, culture, and it shaping people's ability to get work done/ make promotions. As a middle aged hard working respectful white male, I feel like the target. Something I've never felt in the workplace. Thanks!

im sure this is a chapter in Dale Carnegie's awesome book, "How to Make Friends and Influence Others", THEREFORE, it is PURE GOLD. TY, SIRS

[markwoods]

This is so true. Thank you, gentlemen. I am dealing with this right now with work, and I am constantly finding myself putting myself in check. It is not the easiest thing to do, however it is the correct thing to do.

[markattila]

Awesome talk and topic, can relate very much to this. Most of us would fear that by "subordinating our egos" we are letting the other person complete control over us, and that we loose our own individuality, and letting someone trample or take advantage of us. I wish you had elaborated more on this issue to make it clear that this is not the case. I think we need to stress that while we're subordinating our egos, we're not altogether abandoning our own control and letting ourselves being taken advantage of. It's a tricky situation that takes practice.

[Laughngboy]

Yeah the problem is eventually you have to either be the boss or find a better one to work for. Following the chain of command only works if the chain is competent.

[willtobias]

This is pure success fuel and just what I needed to hear. Thanks

[mrorbitu]

I think this video confirms I have finally checked ego. YES!!

[Utubegoogleguy]

Would like to explore the dynamic of True Confidence vs The Egotistical

[eddyer]

There you go. My own. Again thank you.

[GidgetHenritze]

Perfect timing! Thank you for the shift in perspective. ❤
