We have a fear that admitting we've made a mistake can potentially lose us respect. The reality is, what actually makes you look weak is when we push the blame on other things.

When you care more about your team winning than you winning yourself, that is when you start to become a true leader.

When things go wrong, you can either help or hinder. - Codey Gandy at Muster 025

A closed mind equals death. Death of possibilities, options, and your future. - Rob Jones at Muster 025

You can't give to tothers what you don't have yourself. You have to lead yourself before you can lead anyone else. - JP Dinnell at Muster 025

If you interact with another human being in any capacity, you're a leader. - Jocko Willink at Muster 025

If you're feeling overwhelmed by a difficult problem that seems unsolvable, you can apply leadership as the solution. - Leif Babin at Muster 025

Every single problem that you face, in business, at work, or in life, is a leadership problem. -Leif Babin at Muster 025

A detached leader can see solutions others miss precisely because they are not emotionally overwhelmed.

For 250 years, our military has held the line: Against darkness. Against tyranny. Against evil. Determined to live and fight for our cause: Freedom. And that is the true strength of America.

When you are a leader, there are no excuses, and there is no one else to blame.

A detached leader can see solutions others miss precisely because they are not emotionally overwhelmed.

Every leader must be able to detach from the immediate tactical mission and understand how it fits into strategic goals.

The most important tactical advantage you can have is working together as a team, always supporting each other.

It is foolish not to work with your teammates. Though you may often find yourself working in small teams with some distance between you, you are never truly on your own. Everyone on your team is working toward the same mission. Don't see them as competition, but collaborators.

Practice detachment when the stakes are low, so it's available when the stakes are high.

Jocko often says, "Few things actually matter." Don't let ego-driven friction dominate relationships with the people who matter most.

Human beings have a tendency to make things harder than they need to be. We build complex plans. We over-communicate. And when people don’t understand, they can’t execute. That is why simplicity matters.

Just because a relationship exists doesn't mean trust, respect, and influence are permanent. They must be continuously maintained.

Detachment enables us to ask earnest questions that help our family members arrive at their own conclusions. This is more effective than telling them what to do.
