Jocko Willink is a retired Navy SEAL, and a leadership consultant, podcaster, and author (see Wikipedia).
Listening to his books or podcasts is one of my most frequently assigned pieces of homework from my therapist. He has a way of cutting through to the heart of an issue, and speaking the truth that my mind needs to hear. I highly recommend learning more about him.
Presenting Extreme Ownership
This week I had the chance to share the basic principles of Extreme Ownership with leaders at my company, O.C. Tanner. While humbling and stressful, it was a fantastic experience.
Mentally healthy ownership
How do I break down my ego without breaking down my spirit?
Being blissfully unproductive
Last weekend I took the perfect trip to usher in a new life decade.
Unconscious spending
This week I learned an important lesson on being aware of my communication, and especially how it can impact others in my life.
Finding ownership
We were hit last week with another major outage. I wanted to reflect on how I showed up and what I learned.
Cover and Move
As I continue on my path to embracing Extreme Ownership, I find myself in a textbook situation in which I need to rely on others. And it’s hard!
🧠#108: Extreme Ownership
This week, I faced an Extreme Ownership opportunity. Would I protect myself and my team, and make clear what was not our fault, or would I own the situation and focus on fixing it?
🧠#104: Distress tolerance homework
This week’s update shares about my therapist and me being symptomatic together, giving my wife a gift of flexibility, and a realization about feeling like I’m always being tested.
🧠Always being tested
I had a realization last week that made me laugh.
🎧🎙️ You should be listening
This is such a great answer from Jocko. It doesn’t even matter what the question is—if it includes the phrase “we were arguing” then this applies.
This seemed to be specifically for me.
You seem to be the kind of dude that may not want to deviate from the plan at all…
Yep. Spot on.
