EP 012: Task 12 - "Execute Your Mission" with Jason Gardner
Task number 12 is Execute Your Mission. Today's guest is Jason Gardner, Retired SEAL Master Chief with 30 years of combat experience and now working “Echelon Front,” the leadership consulting firm of the famous SEAL Jocko Willink.
4:48 But one of the most amazing things to me about this guy's path is that his execute your mission didn't stop at the team's ending.
5:26 We're going to unpack a lot of these ideas about executing your mission and really knowing what your mission is. That's what the whole concept of the 12 tasks is all about it. Like painting a room when I paint a room in a house 80 to 85% of the work has nothing to do with paint. It's clearing the deck. It's painting, taping the walls, it's scraping the old paint. It's moving the furniture and the plants out of the way the work is done before the final step this extra permission.
6:32 Going through Extreme Ownership helped me actually start to think about leadership, and then also find value in my new role as an Executive leader in the SEAL teams, where, you know, I was going to meetings and, and realizing that, hey, I was the only guy in the meeting that remembered what it was like to be out there doing the job. And so I find a lot of value in being able to represent those folks.
17:29 I'm going to be a little bit vulnerable and fairly honest with you on my observations, like I went through the SEAL teams, because I was insecure. And I was looking to prove myself.
33:10 Because this is why America, people are going like, Oh, we're going to get broken, we are not going to get broken. America has gone through blips like this. Like we're we're in a hard point right now. And but we've experienced much worse situations. And we've always worked our way through them, and come out stronger on the other side.
47:01
it goes back to our training, lifelong learning and a process of rapid turnaround for learning. So it's a two part thing. It's open to changing and correcting and taking the humility, the ego out of it so you can get better at your work. And then doing it faster.
