Being A Young Leader - Jocko Willink

Great advice ! Thanks guys

Maturity is not measured by age, it's an attitude build by experience.

I've wanted to ask Jocko things for a long long x now; I guess? I gotta get a Twitter account, or get creative or something.

How can pil dislike this...

What about a young leader...



With SKINNY KNEES?????

What's on echo's monster biceps?

Great excerpt. Great skinny knees. Thanks guys.

I am convinced that Jocko and Echo are keeping tabs on me. The timing of all these snippets coincide with my life to such a degree it's crazy.

it is very difficult to be a young leader. Everything is working against you, including your own team.

Humility may be the most underrated leadership trait.

Can you please get Mike Maroney on your podcast? He's a PJ, and every video he's been in has been motivational and informative. Love the podcast, keep it up!

Bro! WTF is wrong with your arms?? That's not natural

How many problems could be avoided if people launched from a foundation of humility? This is good advice for young leaders and old leaders alike.

Jocko Willink pfthahahahhahahaha, it can't be his actual name, right? Right?

GOOD! Good being dramatic! Never thought you would be “that guy”.

“Be humble” Hahahaha

“The meek shall inherit the earth.”

Earth to echo

This popped up at a good time. I just picked up E-4 today.

Bwa-ha-ha - @

Thank you for your time and endeavors.

I learned these things the hard way. I lead teams in GTMO at the old age of 20. Got out, started working for TDCJ, got promoted to SGT. at 21 (while on ojt). I was too aggressive to start with. My people hated me. I dialed things back, started to put myself on the line for my people. I started listening more and speaking less. While in Cuba, I went through a TBI and skull fracture. Default aggressive.
just realized this was posted on my 30th birthday. The VA gave me a shower chair and urinal right about the same time. The memories of being operational are strong.

Where and how can I write these amazing guys?

Jocko was the keynote speaker for our Oreilly Auto Parts Leadership conference 2020 in Dallas. He’s an incredible motivational speaker.

I just wish I was able to go up and thank him for his service and speaking to us that night. The things I took from that speech helped immensely in my role.

He gave me a boost of energy if you will. My DM has started to notice the growth. Going from a young inexperienced manager into a leader of leaders. I see now, my ladder has many rungs and I’ve only just begun.

Hope to see you speak again Jocko.
And thank you. 🇺🇸

Just ordered your book brother after watching this. Thanks very much for the work you do and the knowledge you continue to spread.

Thank you for the advice guy's much appreciated. 🙏

What is the different between humble leadership by democracy with aggressive leadership by strictness?? What is better?

i am the youngest leader in my organization, i try to learn every day and improve my leadership skills

I enjoyed this clip as it made me laugh thinking of the different ways in my early life of how I used to try to “play games” with teachers, parents, and other authority figures that displayed the “do what I tell you now because I said so” mentality. It was not morally correct but it was the way we handled life at that age and in the circumstances we were in.
I also enjoyed this video as a now older and much more mature person. As I work in social services and I take a lot of the concepts talked about in these videos to not only apply them to my personal life but also my professional life.

I’m 22 and am a brown belt and teach Jiu jitsu I don’t have a problem with teaching people older than me because I work to talk to everyone and incorporate everyone.

Jocko is one of my most admired personality.

All who have lead with an authoritarian approach learn the hard way, and take the long road to true leadership.

Authoritative is the proper way to lead. Authoritative: Communicating often, two way conversations, considering others thoughts and feelings (knowing one does not know everything or all things), willing to see the natural consequences of decisions, allowing others to take ownership of their part of the team/family/community/globe.

I think this conversation truly covers many facets of teamwork. 1. being new to an environment, 2. experienced leadership real talk, and 3. the response of those who are looking to leaders and how they effect those they lead.

On point. I appreciate this as a high school teacher and coach, this video is very insightful.

Thank You Both.

I think I’m the youngest shift leader at my job and the newest also so it can be really intimidating sometimes ahah but I’ve always wanted to have a relationship with my team and be known to take care of my workers it’s just a little frustrating sometimes when it feels like people don’t listen to me regardless of how much I try to show I care more than just what the people will do for me

Humility is so underrated

Leadership, does not ask to lead…
If you strive to be a leader…. You are not.

Thank you
