From the Archive: Jocko Willink | Discipline Equals Freedom

This isn't your average business podcast, and he's not your average host. This is the James Alteger Show. Presenting the archive, classic episodes that remain timeless, the raw, unfiltered conversations from the early days in which people shared their failures and showed us exactly how they rebuilt everything from the ground up. In my opinion, the biggest obstacle to taking ownership of things is your ego. It's your ego because it hurts.

If you have the hard conversations earlier, they're easier. They're less hostile. The further you go down the path without putting corrective measurements on someone, the harder that conversation is going to be. The way I always handled extreme micromanagers. was I gave them more information than they could possibly want.

I gave them so much information and control that they didn't even want that control anymore. Is there really such a thing as superpowers? My first thought was no. And then I said yes there is. Jiu Jitsu.
