Jocko is a philosopher, and in many ways, an amateur (non pejorative) psychologist. I love it.

As a middle school basketball coach these words can be so helpful

"you flank them.." haha yes!

There’s so many bullshit leadership videos etc., but you’re a genius Jocko. Very applicable data that respects other people - brilliant.

Great point about letting people own their own faults, and leading them to the mirror in order to do so. Actually, in my experience, competent people try to fix faults that occurred anyway, so the tactful criticism becomes a way to broaden and deepen the scope with further input (from those doing the tactful criticism) allowing even more contingencies or pitfalls to be handled in advance of the next action.

I learned a pretty cool way of giving criticism. It’s called a “compliment sandwich” you start with a short small type of compliment involving whatever your talking about. Than you give your constructive criticism. And than you finish with another small short compliment or reword your original compliment. People seem to be very receptive to this because they feel good that ther doing some things right but also hear what they need to improve on. Helps keep egos and tempers down while still delivering your message. Example. I like the content in your video and it captures my attention. But it seems a little to long and wears me out making me to stop paying attention. Along with content Your introduction is also nice so your gettin ther

It's valuable to trust people by default and let them prove you otherwise.

Army combat veteran here. Why is it so easy for me to say I love this guy?

Thank you for the helpful words Jocko!

Letting people know all the time - especially when you’re not giving criticism - that your goal (as their leader) is to make them into the best team ever, professionals in the industry, best o f the best. They know that you *always* have that as your goal, you are focused on the mission (I work in non-profit) and this is how you show up. Then, when you give criticism (the sandwich works even if people can see it a mile off), they know you are there for them. Their failings are mine. Their successes are theirs.

The Jocko podcast is real life motivation great all the time

Lol Jocko's Tony Robbins impression; 7:11

People want to be right. You tell them what they've done well, and show them what's wrong. Then tell them about the time you did it worse. Hey no big deal man, just gotta watch the little shit.

Sometimes, no matter how well-articulated, some people just lack the tone and charisma to deliver criticism well no matter how impersonal or kindly stated. It is a very cruel reality I've learned first-hand.

Many people that I've encountered in my day take the attitude their sh*t don't stink towards me, and nothing sets me off quicker, and surprised I stand up to it as with diplomacy as possible with causing the other person his, her, or their dignity in return. I'm at a point in life that I need lots of encouragement to get done what needs attention such as meeting deadlines. So treat me like someone who you want to come back and resume my task. Criticism comes in lots of shapes, sizes, and my favorite - colors! I want people to know about me that I want to do right by you, but sometimes my ability does not add up. If one doesn't like my performance - that's cool. This is not by a long shot a perfect world.

Love the channel

Being autistic, like I am, makes it really difficult to deal with people. The gloves are off when I discuss things. But, I'm looking for them because they seem like a wonderful luxury. I bet you get way more social acceptance with them.

I was thinking about how to reconcile giving criticism to others vs taking extreme ownership. I think internal extreme ownership is constant. Except sometimes that can turn into, “I didn’t give this person enough criticism/feedback, so that they could get better, so that they would stop making this mistake. That’s my mistake.”

Jocko will you be adding jackets to your apparel line anytime soon ? "About Face" sounds catchy don't you think? I don't usually comment, but when I do it's on the Jocko Podcast. Peace.

echo been on the juice

Jocko Great podcast great inspiration. But what do you do or have you done when you don't have the answer.

Dude, when it comes down to this. I’m the type of person that needs to know exactly what it is I messed up on.

Jocko have you ever read “Ego Is The Enemy” by Ryan Holiday?

Thank you Sir ! I didn't have a clue about this subject, until now.

My chief Tom "Pudge" Evens would get on the warpath if you screwed up and ride you hard, until somebody else screwed up. The I would do what ever I could to keep him off of me. I figured out later that he opperated this way to keep the officers from dishing out punishment. They left it all up to him.

Echo charles, you are funny. Excellent clip. Excellent. Thank you sirs. Not merely how to offer crticism, but just as importabt, how to receive, respectfully, criticism. Excellent.

Do I sense little cheap shot in there about Echo’s lighting work?

Don’t tell your enemies about this podcast they will try to use it against you

Viewers may find something of interest in my book - Correction without Criticism [Etta Ganter]. It provides an approach for having emotionally tough conversations. Strategies are made explicit and examples are provided. 🙏

Lego your Ego

Why does Jocko remind me of the Jungle Hunter Predator???

144p is great for saving data.

In perfect world that would work but unfortunately you have to tell people what the issue with out beating around the bush.

Christ has shown us the greatest example of Extreme Ownership! As is always the case, the Bible holds the answer. Ephesians 4.29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
