This is Jonko podcast number 498 with Echo Charles and me, Jonko Willink. Good evening, Echo. Good evening. So last podcast, number 497, we covered an article by retired United States Marine Corps, Colonel Joseph H. Alexander, and it was about combat leadership at Iwo Jima, but that the place I got that document from

was from a Marine Corps Institute document which is called Leadership Credo. And just in going through that document, look, there's some pertinent information related to the article that we read about stress and friction and human will and of course about leadership. And the lessons that it teaches, I was thinking, you know, we can use these lessons. Of course.

So let's get into this document right here. Marine Corps Institute staff non-commissioned officers career distance education program leadership. credo um leadership credo a credo do you know the definition of credo i don't know what creed is but yeah credo so it's a very similar thing credo is a statement or beliefs or aims which guides s someone's actions so you're you're right credo have you noticed there's been a little bit of news going around we'll People will ask a kind of a gotchy question and then the person doesn't know it and they just look bad.
