Episode notes
Misplaced Blame
- Jocko recounts a conversation after a presentation on extreme ownership.
- A woman complained about "this new generation," prompting Jocko to reiterate the principle of ownership.
Leadership, Not Generations
- Blaming others is a leadership deficiency, not a generational issue.
- Good leaders take ownership and adapt, like those who led draftees in Vietnam.
Self-Ownership
- Apply extreme ownership to yourself, not others.
- Filter your language, especially the word "they," to avoid deflecting responsibility.
