Jocko, thanks for doing this. I'm a fan of the podcast and half way through your book. Also, just received my order of Jocko white tea. Can confirm that my deadlift has increased by about 3000%.
I'm in the process of submitting my package to SOAS and hopefully I'll receive an invitation to attend SOAS in the spring. I have relatively little leadership experience which worries me. My question for you is how does one motivate a team that has low morale? Similar to the boat crew example early on in your book. Providing clear, concise, and confident instruction on the task at hand as well as believing in the objectives and goals of the task/mission seems like just about all one can do. How big of a role does charisma play in how effective a leader is?
And, although I know you don't like to speak about BUD/s, my final question is how much effort do you dedicate to a classmate that seems to be not putting out. I understand the only way to make it though BUD/s is as a team, but at what point do you simply abandon someone who isn't performing well enough despite them making every effort to help the team and themselves?
