S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I was never the most talented.
0:29
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I've never been the fastest,
0:31
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
strongest,
0:32
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
or smartest.
0:33
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I joined the Navy at 18.
0:35
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I went straight from boot camp to basic
0:40
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
underwater demolition SEAL training,
0:42
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
some of the toughest military
0:46
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
training in the world.
0:47
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
There's an 80 % attrition rate brought on by
0:51
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
what many people might consider torture.
0:54
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Through sleep deprivation,
0:57
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
mental strain,
0:58
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and physical pain,
1:00
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
most people quit.
1:02
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I didn't.
1:02
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I made
1:07
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
it to the SEAL teams.
1:07
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I rose through the ranks,
1:09
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
becoming a SEAL officer,
1:10
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
where I had the honor of leading men on the battlefield.
1:13
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
The most important thing I learned in the SEAL teams
1:17
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
was leadership.
1:18
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I tested leadership strategies and tactics in the harshest environment
1:23
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
in the world.
1:23
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So when I retired from the SEAL teams,
1:27
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I started Echelon Front to teach those same leadership principles
1:31
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
to leaders working across a broad spectrum of endeavors.
1:36
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
True leaders listen to their team,
1:38
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
build strong relationships,
1:40
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and find solutions through collaboration.
1:42
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
That is what true leadership looks like.
1:46
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I'm Jocko Willink,
1:48
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and this is Masterclass.
1:51
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Today,
2:06
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I'm meeting with a group of professionals,
2:09
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
all from different businesses who want to be better leaders and
2:13
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
managers.
2:14
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
They're probably thinking my leadership style is all about barking orders
2:18
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and imposing authority on the people.
2:20
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
But that's not my style at all.
2:22
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
In fact,
2:22
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I consider that behavior the worst form of leadership.
2:26
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I've learned without a doubt that leadership is the most important thing
2:30
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
on the battlefield.
2:31
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
It's the most important thing in business and really it's the most important thing in life as
2:35
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
well. And I read your bios and I was very
2:39
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
happy to see that you all have come to that conclusion as well.
2:43
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you all realize that the best way to move your life and your business forward
2:47
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
is through leadership.
2:48
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So we're going to spend some time talking about leadership.
2:52
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I'm going to pass on some lessons that I've learned and hope to learn some lessons from you as
2:56
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
well. And that way we can all get better.
2:59
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
This class will be a journey through my leadership philosophies
3:03
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
with lessons learned from my time on the battlefield.
3:06
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
By the end,
3:07
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
my goal is for you to be a better team builder,
3:10
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
better motivator,
3:11
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
better communicator,
3:12
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and better at prioritizing and executing in every aspect of your
3:17
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
life.
3:17
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
By the end of this class,
3:19
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you will learn to be a better leader,
3:20
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
whether it's running a corporation,
3:22
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
overseeing a complex project,
3:25
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
managing a small business,
3:26
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
or coaching your kid's sports team.
3:29
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
A lot of times when people hear the word leadership,
3:31
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
they think,
3:32
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
oh, I'm not a leader.
3:33
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I'm a frontline individual contributor at my company.
3:37
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I'm not in charge of anybody.
3:38
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
But that's actually not true.
3:41
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
You still have to lead.
3:51
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Sometimes you have to lead your peers to get them to move in the right direction.
3:56
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Sometimes you have to influence or lead your boss
4:00
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
because your boss doesn't see something that you see,
4:03
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
or they're making a decision that doesn't make sense for you on
4:07
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
the front lines.
4:07
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So you have to utilize leadership to lead up the
4:11
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
chain of command to move your boss in the right direction.
4:14
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So no matter where you are inside of a company,
4:17
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you are in a leadership position.
4:25
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
These skills are for actually every human being
4:29
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
that interacts with other human beings.
4:31
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
No matter what your job is,
4:33
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you are a leader.
4:35
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And these skills will help you in every aspect of
4:39
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
your life.
4:39
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So
4:45
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
to start this off,
4:46
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
what do you think makes a good leader?
4:49
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Ability to pivot.
4:51
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Ability to pivot,
4:53
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
right?
4:53
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Who here can predict their future?
4:55
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Raise your hand.
4:56
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
That's right,
4:57
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
nobody.
4:57
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So that means things are going to happen.
4:58
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Things are going to change.
5:00
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Events are going to occur that we didn't anticipate,
5:02
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and then we absolutely have to be able to pivot into a different direction.
5:06
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
What else?
5:08
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Telling people what to do.
5:09
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Ah,
5:10
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
like barking orders at people.
5:12
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Not quite,
5:13
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
but...
5:13
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Yeah. Telling people what to do.
5:15
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
There's an aspect of that that comes into leadership.
5:18
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
That has to be very,
5:20
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
very balanced.
5:21
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
You know, when I first started working with civilian companies,
5:25
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
one of the first CEOs,
5:27
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
he says,
5:28
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I really can't wait till you come up here and whip my people into shape.
5:31
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And I said,
5:32
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
hey, if you're looking for someone to whip your people into shape,
5:35
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you should probably find someone else.
5:38
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Whipping people does not get the best out of
5:42
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
them. The authoritarian leader that barks and yells and runs roughshod over everyone,
5:46
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
that's the type of leader that they will get the job done for
5:50
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
a short period of time.
5:52
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Because if I'm afraid that I'm going to get fired,
5:54
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
then I'm going to do what you tell me to do if you come and yell and scream at me.
5:58
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
But when I get home,
6:00
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
of course,
6:01
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I'm trying to find another job.
6:02
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
That's a very common misperception that people have,
6:06
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
especially about military leadership,
6:08
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
that the military leader is the authoritarian that's going to just
6:12
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
smash people to get them to do what he
6:16
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
wants them to do.
6:17
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
This doesn't work.
6:21
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
No one likes being told what to do.
6:22
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
As a matter of fact, we all as human beings have a little psychological feature.
6:26
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
It's called reactance.
6:29
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Reactance, a motivational state characterized by distress,
6:33
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
anxiety,
6:34
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
resistance,
6:35
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and the desire to restore the loss of or perceived
6:39
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
loss of a behavioral freedom.
6:41
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And when we get told to do something,
6:43
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
our natural reaction is to push back.
6:46
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
99 % of the time,
6:47
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
for me as a leader,
6:48
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I don't want to have to tell anybody what to do.
6:49
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Wow.
6:50
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
In fact,
6:51
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
for me as a leader,
6:52
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I don't want to have to say anything.
6:54
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
The ideal operations that I led in combat...
6:58
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I didn't say a word.
6:59
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
We
7:03
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
would pull up to a target.
7:05
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
The mission would commence.
7:07
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
The assault team would move towards the target.
7:10
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I didn't tell them to go there.
7:11
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
The breach team would go over the wall and set the breach on the door.
7:14
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I didn't tell them to do that.
7:16
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
The external security team would set up their positions.
7:19
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I didn't tell them to do that.
7:20
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Everybody knew what to do.
7:23
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
The best missions that I ran,
7:24
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I didn't have to say anything.
7:26
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So that became my goal.
7:28
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Can I have the team understand the mission so well?
7:31
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Can the team be so well -trained?
7:33
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Can the team be so empowered that I don't need to do anything?
7:37
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
That's my goal,
7:39
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
is to become a silent leader.
7:41
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
The silent leader takes a humble approach,
7:44
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
is open -minded,
7:45
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
listens to other people's ideas,
7:47
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
empowers their team to plan and execute,
7:50
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and focuses on relationship building.
7:52
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
On the other end of the spectrum,
7:54
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
the authoritarian leader is someone who is closed -minded,
7:58
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
power -focused,
7:59
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
ego -driven,
8:00
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
imposes their own personal plans,
8:02
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and demands strict obedience.
8:05
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
If you make it your goal to be a part of a team and be leading a
8:09
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
team where you don't have to say anything,
8:11
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
that's going to guide you in the right direction for leadership.
8:15
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
When I don't have to talk to my team,
8:17
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
when I don't have to look down and in at my team and what they're doing,
8:20
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
what does that allow me to do?
8:20
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
It allows me to look up and out.
8:22
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Where's that next opportunity?
8:23
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Because we're going to go get it.
8:24
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And one of the challenges all managers and leaders face is
8:28
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
getting that next opportunity to move up to the next level,
8:31
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
to get promoted.
8:33
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I want to dive into some of your challenges.
8:35
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Marcus,
8:36
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I understand from reading your bio,
8:39
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you're in a situation where you want to move up.
8:49
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
You want to move into more senior leadership positions,
8:51
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
but you feel like you're hitting some roadblocks.
8:53
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Yeah.
8:54
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
What are you running into?
8:55
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I feel stuck.
8:56
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I've taken it upon myself to become a kind of a mentor for some of my teammates that
9:00
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
are external hires,
9:01
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and I get them brought up to speed,
9:03
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
all while not being afforded the opportunity to move in
9:08
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
my current role.
9:08
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So you think maybe you're not getting the mentorship that you need,
9:12
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
that you want in order to get promoted?
9:18
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Marcus had the feeling that he wasn't having the opportunities
9:23
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
that he thought he deserved.
9:24
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And I actually,
9:25
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
in just getting to know Marcus,
9:27
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I think he actually does deserve some opportunities.
9:29
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
But instead of him saying,
9:30
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
what can I do different?
9:31
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
He was sort of looking around him and looking up the
9:35
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
chain of command a little bit and thinking,
9:37
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
hold on a second.
9:38
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Shouldn't I be guided a little bit better?
9:41
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Shouldn't my path be presented a little bit clearer?
9:44
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And that's great.
9:45
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And you know what?
9:45
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
That could possibly be true.
9:47
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
But Marcus can't control that.
9:48
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
What Marcus can control is Marcus.
9:51
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
A couple things
9:55
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
that you need to figure out.
9:56
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Number one, hey,
9:56
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
is there truly an opportunity...
10:00
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
for you to advance sometime in the foreseeable future.
10:02
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
If that doesn't exist,
10:04
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you do actually need to start figuring out what a possible exit strategy
10:08
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
can be.
10:08
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
That's the reality of the situation.
10:11
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
If you worked for me,
10:12
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and I know you were a good worker,
10:13
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and I know you were a good leader,
10:14
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I wouldn't let you leave.
10:16
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I would figure out how to get you into a position where you're going
10:20
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
to stay.
10:20
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Because as long as there's a place to go,
10:23
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I know you can get there.
10:24
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
The last thing I'm going to say about this is...
10:26
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
What kind of relationship do you have with that senior leader?
10:30
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
No matter what you're doing,
10:32
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
if you have the right mindset,
10:34
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you're going to get mentored all the time.
10:35
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Because if you build a good relationship with that senior leader and they
10:39
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
then start to understand what you've got going on and understand what your capabilities
10:44
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
are, you will get that promotion.
10:47
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
You will get that advancement.
10:49
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
getting him to realize that the best thing he could do is take ownership of that situation and say,
10:53
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
okay, I'm not exactly sure what my path is.
10:56
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
How do I find it out?
10:57
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Maybe I don't have the best mentor.
10:58
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
How can I get someone to mentor me?
11:01
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And if I can't,
11:02
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
then how do I gather the necessary information that allows me to move forward?
11:06
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Now,
11:07
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I always tell people,
11:09
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
don't focus on promotion.
11:11
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
How can I do the best job?
11:13
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
How can I build a good relationship with my boss?
11:15
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And if you do those things,
11:17
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
This will turn around and you're going to get what
11:21
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you're going after.
11:22
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So as you think about leadership,
11:26
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
remember that everyone is a leader,
11:28
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
regardless of their position on the team.
11:30
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Become a silent leader.
11:32
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Listen to your team and take their input.
11:34
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And focus on relationships up the chain of command to
11:38
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
create leadership opportunities.
11:40
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
If we were
11:44
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
going to parse down leadership...
11:48
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
into its most bare components,
11:50
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
what are some of the things that you would think of?
11:52
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Relationships.
11:53
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Oh,
11:54
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
out of the gate.
11:55
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Sarah nails it.
11:57
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Relationships.
11:58
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And guess what?
11:59
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
The stronger the relationships,
12:01
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
the stronger the team.
12:02
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So
12:12
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
then the question becomes,
12:13
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
what are the components of a relationship?
12:15
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Rapport.
12:16
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Rapport.
12:17
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Trust.
12:18
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
If we trust each other,
12:20
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
we have a relationship.
12:21
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Everyone agree?
12:23
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
It's even more obvious that if we don't trust each other,
12:26
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
we don't have a relationship.
12:28
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
How do I get you to trust me?
12:31
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
When we go through things together,
12:32
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
that's when I build that trust in that you have my best interests in mind,
12:36
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I have your best interests in mind,
12:37
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
we both want to succeed at whatever we're doing together.
12:39
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Yes.
12:39
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
You said it.
12:40
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
When you and I go through something together,
12:42
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I'm going to put a little bit of trust in you.
12:44
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Yeah.
12:44
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And when I put a little bit of trust in you and you see that,
12:47
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you put a little trust back in me.
12:48
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And then I reciprocate that,
12:51
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
put a little more trust in you,
12:52
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and then you put more trust in me,
12:53
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and what we end up is we end up trusting each other,
12:55
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
which means we now have a relationship.
12:58
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Wow.
12:58
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Here's another component.
13:00
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
We listen to each other.
13:01
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
If I listen to you and you listen to me,
13:04
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
we have a relationship.
13:05
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
How do I get people to listen to me?
13:06
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Who wants to venture to take a guess?
13:07
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Stop talking.
13:08
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Listen to them.
13:09
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Yes, you said stop talking,
13:11
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and you said listen to them.
13:12
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Those are both correct.
13:13
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
This is totally counterintuitive.
13:15
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
It's totally counterintuitive,
13:17
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
because most people think,
13:17
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you know,
13:18
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
hey, if Taylor's not listening to me,
13:20
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I'm going to talk louder at him.
13:21
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I hear you.
13:24
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And guess what?
13:28
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
The louder you talk at someone,
13:31
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
It's actually the less they listen.
13:33
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So when you really want someone to listen to you,
13:36
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
what you do is you listen to them.
13:39
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Then there's respect.
13:42
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Same thing with respect,
13:44
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
right?
13:45
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
If I want you to respect me,
13:47
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I can't just say,
13:47
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Paige, you better respect me.
13:49
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I outrank you.
13:49
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Does that work?
13:50
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
It doesn't work at all.
13:52
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
What I have to do is actually treat you with respect.
13:55
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And then you go,
13:56
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
oh, okay.
13:57
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And then we get that mutual respect going.
13:59
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Another component is influence.
14:02
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
This is a hard one.
14:03
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Because if I want to have influence over Naomi,
14:07
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I actually have to allow her to influence me.
14:10
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Think about the people you have a relationship with.
14:13
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
They have an influence over you.
14:15
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
They have an influence over how you behave.
14:16
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And you also have an influence over how they behave.
14:19
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And as she starts to present ideas to me and I say,
14:22
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you know what?
14:22
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
That makes sense,
14:23
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Naomi. Let's do it your way.
14:25
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Her mind actually opens up to be influenced by me.
14:29
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And the last one,
14:31
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
caring.
14:32
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
There's no more powerful thing
14:36
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
that you can do as a leader than to show your team that you care about them.
14:41
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
You think about the people in your life,
14:43
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
the people that take care of you,
14:46
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you will do whatever you can to take care of them
14:50
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
as well.
14:50
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So that's why taking care of people as a leader is
14:54
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
a critical thing to do in order to establish a strong
14:58
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
team.
15:02
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So I'm like a big Navy SEAL.
15:05
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
But guess what?
15:07
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I still care.
15:09
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
We have a saying in the SEAL teams.
15:12
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
If you take care of your gear,
15:13
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
your gear will take care of you.
15:14
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And what this is meant to be,
15:15
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you have a parachute.
15:16
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Right?
15:18
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
You take care of your parachute.
15:20
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So when you pull it,
15:21
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
it opens.
15:22
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
You have a dive rig.
15:23
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
You take care of that dive rig,
15:25
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
so when you're underwater and you want to breathe,
15:27
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
the thing works.
15:28
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So you take care of your gear,
15:29
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and your gear will take care of you.
15:32
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Well, it's the same thing with people.
15:33
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
If you have their back,
15:35
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
they are going to support you.
15:37
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
That means they're going to work harder for you.
15:39
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So those things are what a relationship is.
15:44
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And when we're in a leadership position,
15:46
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
what we're trying to do is build relationships with everyone we work with,
15:50
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
up,
15:51
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
down,
15:51
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and across the chain of command.
15:52
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And that's how we form a powerful team.
15:55
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
A relationship
16:01
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
is a situation where we have trust.
16:04
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
where we listen to each other,
16:06
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
where we respect each other,
16:08
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
where we are able to influence each other,
16:11
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and most important,
16:13
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
where we care about each other.
16:15
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I know that these are counterintuitive ideas because we put ourselves first.
16:19
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And the first thing I think to myself is,
16:22
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you better trust me,
16:23
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
or you better listen to me,
16:26
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
or you better be influenced by me,
16:28
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
or you better treat me with respect.
16:31
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So it's very counterintuitive to think in order to initiate
16:35
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
this relationship,
16:36
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I'm going to listen.
16:37
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I'm going to give respect.
16:39
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I'm going to give trust.
16:41
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So Paige,
16:42
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you had a question.
16:43
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
So how do you put those relationship skills
16:47
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
into practice?
16:48
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Recording artist Paige wants to improve her collaborative process.
17:00
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Yeah, so I love all this talk about building relationships.
17:02
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
However, I'm a comedian and I'm a musician.
17:05
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And so when I'm operating as a musician,
17:07
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
like say I'm pulling together an album and we're coming together and there's
17:11
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
multiple parts.
17:12
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I have a producer,
17:13
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I have musicians,
17:14
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
composers,
17:15
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
there's a whole team.
17:16
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Say if we're writing a song and they want to take it in one direction,
17:19
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
but I'm very passionate about it being in another direction.
17:23
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Ultimately, what I end up instinctually wanting to do is just kind of throw down the
17:27
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
gauntlet of my ego and be like,
17:29
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
well, this is mine,
17:30
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
so no one else's ideas matter.
17:32
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I have a default mode for this.
17:35
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
You have a plan,
17:36
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and I have a plan.
17:37
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Who can guess what my default mode is?
17:40
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Their plan.
17:41
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I'm going to use your plan.
17:42
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Oh,
17:43
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you think the music should change to this here?
17:45
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Let's try it.
17:45
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And then we just have to do an honest assessment.
17:47
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And like you said,
17:48
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
if my ego gets in the way,
17:49
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and I can't admit,
17:50
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you know what?
17:52
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
The way you had it,
17:53
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Paige, actually sounds better.
17:54
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Then we have a real problem.
17:55
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Right.
17:56
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And the problem is we're not aligned.
17:58
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Yeah.
17:58
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Maybe we should be in different bands.
18:01
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
That's very seldom.
18:02
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
We just have a little roadblock to get through,
18:04
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
a little obstacle to figure out,
18:06
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
and then we'll go forward.
18:07
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
It's good.
18:09
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Next up,
18:10
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I'm talking with a group about what I call leadership capital.
18:14
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
You got a bank
18:18
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
account, and in that bank account is leadership capital.
18:20
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
And sometimes you have to spend a little bit.
18:23
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
But you can't spend it all the time.
18:25
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Otherwise,
18:26
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you go into debt.
18:27
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
When you listen to someone,
18:30
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you earn leadership capital.
18:33
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
When you treat them with respect,
18:35
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you earn leadership capital.
18:36
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
When you allow them to influence you,
18:38
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
you earn leadership capital.
18:39
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
But every time I bark an order,
18:41
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
every time I impose a plan on you,
18:44
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
it costs me leadership capital.
18:46
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I walk around all the time like I'm barely getting by on leadership
18:50
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
capital.
18:50
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I try not to spend it ever.
18:52
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
I always try and earn it.
18:54
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Let me ask you this.
18:55
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Is it possible to have a tough conversation and actually walk away with
19:00
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
a more positive relationship?
19:02
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Absolutely.
19:03
S… Speaker 1 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
Absolutely.
19:03
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
You have to think about it.
19:06
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
You have to be intentional about it.
19:07
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
But if I walk up to Sarah and I say,
19:10
S… Speaker 2 (Critical Leadership Training with Navy SEAL Officer Jocko Willink)
hey, Sarah, I noticed you were late today.
