How To Demonstrate Extreme Ownership to Young People - Jocko Willink

This lesson could not have been better timed. I know it’s the algorithm, but wow! 👍🤘🏼🇺🇸🫡

Situations were blame could go either way: say sorry and seek compassionate mutual understanding. imo

Middle school music teachers were the easiest to get under their skin. Echo speaking facts!

Thank you.

We definitely have fight against cognitive dissonance in our kids.

I used to get asked the same questions (in the first few minutes of this video) as a kid by teachers and I never gave them a clear answer.

And that's because I had no self worth. I didn't think I was worth answering that question. I knew they cared about me, which is why they were asking, but I didn't care about ME.

Jocko you may not be perfect but you're a great example of what leadership actually is. It's not just managing situations. It's including and inspiring others to go above and beyond to accomplish a necessary task. And so much more that you touch on in videos like this.

Your actions affect you in future, so pay attention to what you do now

Responsibility is a lost art.

Would love to see Jocko try to reason with a class full of kids from Chicago or Detroit or Baltimore or something. You wanna see something that'll make someone like even Jocko give up? That'd be it right there.

Echo, same experience with my nice Grade 7 music teacher, who failed to read the room with my problem classmates, whom had no interest in music. Short version, he was away one day, and the sub did not show. Those same kids acted up, and trashed the music room, including destroying the teacher's treasured jazz records that he adorned the room. He came back the next day, and suffered a mental breakdown, and left the school after. Needless to say, kids are nasty.

Honestly, Jocko a real life Chuck Norris.

I am 32 now. I remember back in HS I almost got into a fight at the cafeteria, we threw food at each other and were about to throw hands but got stoped. They suspended me for 2 days and I thought it was really stupid way of solving the issue. I was a good kid standing up to a bully, I snuck into school in order to ask my teachers what the homework was going to be and I recalled them taking a breath of air as I explained what happened. How will screwing up my education is going to make me better? They should have made us do community service or something that would had made us pay for what we did.

As a former middle school teacher saying to a disruptive student in my class, telling that student, where did i not communicate w/ you to not do this behavior from you? A answer from kid might be, I don't care. Now what? My point is this behavior has stopped your teaching to the entire class. If you the teacher

Nice 👍

as a 2 year old man I've realized that my past moments where I disregarded the subordinate position of myself as a fetus was just completly disrespectful. Sincerly, thank you Jocko for correcting my mistakes by punching my moms belly when I was once inside her. Now I'm lifting 225 12 reps x 5 and make a 4k a month income job for my mom.

I wish I took high school more serious I always skipped class or if I did go I was clowning around and not doing any work now I’m lost trying to get my life together and I have a son on tho way which I don’t regret it’s a blessing to be a father but I want to make sure he is straight In life and have everything he need to be a better man than I am

The 2018 New Jersey off duty DUI Public Servant did He employ Extreme Ownership. ...?

🇺🇲😎🦅⚓⬛

Music teachers seem to just lose their minds

Yet another dumb irrelevant ad when watching Jocko's podcast.

Jocko is a real life CoD character

Best advice ever, the choices you make, make a big difference

A principal knows that’s what is going to happen, the weight on their shoulders to motivate and manage a captive audience is immense.

I can tell you as a parent with 12 plus years of dealing with teachers, not a single one has ever taken extreme ownership in my personal experience, Or ANY kind of ownership for that matter

I had a chemistry teacher do this to me when I was being disruptive in a summer course during a lecture. He was a football coach. I felt ashamed immediately. Got an A in that class.

My parents did the same thing but with a belt and not as much taking ownership.

On the day jocko was born he delivered the doctor

Wish i had teacher like jocko

He taught me not to awkwardly reach for the remote control.

Echo is wrong in this one.
Teenagers (generally speaking) absolutely ARE capable of understanding the ramifications of their actions and how that will affect their life 10, 20 years from now.
The reason they don't is because nobody is explaining it in a way that will connect and nobody is holding them to the expectation of understanding it.
As soon as they walk out of that school, though, the real world doesn't care if their brains are fully developed or if they understand the consequences of their actions. The police don't care. The judges don't care. The prison system doesn't care.
I know this first hand. I've BEEN through the system and learned the hard way that the 'system' and the real world don't care.
These kids are 100% capable of understanding. Maybe not quite in the same way a 35 or 40 year old will understand, but they CAN understand in their own way.
Saying "their brains aren't developed enough to understand" is a bullshit excuse and is a large part of why so many kids, teens and young adults end up in juvenile detention or county jail or state prison.

Is Echo the new Captain Obvious?!

They want to take over and dominate... if you want to lose, you can go do it on your own time.

@jockowillink Im loving the perspectives here. There is great value here for fathers and men alike. Keep it up man and thank you.

Any teachers watching, I only respected one teacher ever my whole school career, because they found a way to approach me like this

So much wisdom.

This is next level "I'm not mad. I'm disappointed." Except it's "I'm not mad. I'm disappointed in my own ability to convey just how important this is to your life. Please teach me where I went wrong." It's also you vs I statements.

What is that sound at 30 seconds haha

When the sun rises, it asks for Jocko's permission first

since many have stated their appreciation for your words here, i thought i might join in.

i headed towards becoming that homeless person 2 years ago. i hit rock bottom back then. and jordan peterson helped me get back up on my feet and adjust my attitude towards myself without lying to myself. and then i saw your podcast with him, and since then i followed you as well. and you help me to adjust myself towards the surrounding, helping me to lead myself and others.

i just started my education as an it guy which i decided to start a year ago. thanks to you and jp, i am more honest to myself and better off as ever before. thanks.

I'm a teacher and was thinking of sending in the same questions haha

Echo Charles ...gett’n after it.... and jumping balls deep into the weeds!!!! Love it

What I have seen, unfortunately, are that alot of times the teacher's hands are tied. Discipline isn't allowed and/or the parents complain that poor Suzie or Joey shouldn't be disciplined, and/ or the principal won't back up the teacher. I am not a teacher. This is just what I've seen.

this is excellent

50 second in and I was saying "yes" As a middle school teacher, the most I improved was when a kid was just a "giant jerk" in my library class. It was hard in the moment and I am sure I was a jerk back but I learned about some new software, got some other classroom management techniques. "If you don't want to learn, no one can help you. If you want to learn, no one can stop you" Zig Zigler

I appreciate the perspective. Put this to use twice this morning with my kids. The first time it helped redirect some negative behavior towards each other. The second time it helped me and my wife pause a minute when another child said something insensitive.

Show me your last 1000 days and I'll show you why you are exactly where you are in life...

Every parents and teachers need to hear this..
