Powerful Insights From Jocko Willink:
"I think right now, what we need is someone that's less polarizing and has a more open mind and is more concerned about, or looking more to find solutions and compromise and figure out how to make things work, rather than, hey, here's what the party that put me in this position wants to have happen. And…what that results in is oftentimes nothing happening."
“Come up with a flexible plan and you start to move in that direction and then you iterate and make changes to the plan as you get closer. But you're still sticking within the principles that you believe and still going towards the end state that you're trying to reach. That's what a leader should be doing and that's what leaders should be doing."
"They can suppress, they can suppress the instinct for freedom that human beings have for a certain period of time. But I don't believe that they can actually extinguish the flame of freedom."
"I'm going to make small decisions, and I'm going to continually assess, and that's what I'm doing all the time. And that's what a good leader does is look and make small adjustments and pay attention to the feedback."
