This channel is the best channel on Youtube - PERIOD.

[alfonsogeron]

The greatest leadership style is...


constantly associating anything in the universe with BJJ

[theyoungamericanpatriot]

This IS true and universally applicable! If every manager, boss, and parent listened to this and actually applied it, EVERY single job and family environment would change!

[sdlager]

Simple, clear, and concise commands. Do what works and don’t be afraid to recalibrate when it’s not working. Make sure to Prioritize and Execute. Take Extreme ownership and Cover and Move. Decentralized Command. Tweaking these principles is ok but keep your base. Check.

[warriorsroundtable]

Your boss doesn't like Extreme Ownership because your boss believes in extreme manipulation or extreme blaming.

Effective Team Leaders are
Right there with their Team Calling the Shots while Keeping Everyone Safe While Executing the Mission.

Jocko, thanks for helping me be a better leader.

[tuvarawoods]

Great video. Communication is everything. There are too many leaders, mentors, guru's, and managers that do not know how to communicate.

[ironheadhooligan]

I totally agree...it's crazy to think that the same thing over and over will give u a different result...I know some ppl that think their way of thinking is absolute and they r 100%right all the time...their attitude holds them back...and everyone and anything around them all fail...but it's them failing...not the world failing them...always need to be an aware and willing💪🐷

[jamesarmstrong]

The Whizz Bang has a 51 % success rate when you lead with your strong leg.

[jhgosnell]

Same for all sports....underlying principles can be adapted to leadership.

[eugenemurray]

Leadership is...
Comms all the way...
Both ways....

I have a son that is extremely intelligent but also highly unmotivated, and lazy. He reminds me of me when I was his age. The only thing that got me to buckle down and get my life in order was having him. I didn't care that much about myself or what happened to me but I cared a hell of a lot about what happened to him and what kind of future I could provide for him. I am scared to death that he is going to make the same decisions that I did and wind up screwing up his life and going nowhere fast. It was damn hard for me to turn things around while also working my ass off to provide for a family. I've tried everything that I can think of, from punishments to rewards, but me and my wife are out of ideas and still haven't found anything that can get him to stop lying about his school work, study for tests, and do his best. Have you got any ideas for me?

[remitribelevelup]

Echo definitely does hammer curls with 100 pound dumbbells before the show

[seanmyhrer]

The last two minutes of this video sum up the whole principle! I have watched and laughed and giggled with Echo through Jocko’s rant about 30 times. 😂
This is my goto vid. It all becomes real when you hear how dumb the alternatives are.
Thanks, Jocko and Echo. You have changed me for the better.

[mojave]

Just because of this conversation I'm going to get a special rash guard made for BJJ that says "Whiz Bang" on the back :)

[richmussel]

As a caddie on a high level course I deal with this on a regular basis. My job is really how I can keep all these millionaires they are on the same page. Hard golf course... loved the experience...

[eugenemurray]

'A continuous method to your madness' 😂
Gud job yr bessie mates with Jocko...
He would have shot me dead..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[annmurry]

It sure is nice to have such clear measures of effectivess in jiujitsu.

So much of life is more like a messy combat situation where effectiveness could subtly shift from mission / objective achievement to related factors like enemy deathcount or level of soldier obedience. Sometimes life makes me wonder what the real objectives are like do you really want soldiers to l earn their objective or do you want them to be mindlessly obedient even if they don't get it or are you really after a bloody competitor deathcount?

Or maybe it really all only boils down to a shallow selloutfest in the name of garnering

likes.

Some good points here. However, there seems to be confusion between sources of power and influence (Raven and French) and Managerial Styles (McBer) Review US Marine Corps leadership for a refresher. RP 0103 - Principles of Marine Corps Leadership
