This is Jocco Podcast number two 11 with Echo Charles and me,

Jocco Willink. Good evening, Echo. Good evening.

Good evening. And we are going to roll right back into the book,

leadership strategy and tactics because we only made it halfway through on the first attempt.

So the first part that we did make it through was called strategy.

That's the strategy part. And now we are getting into the tactics part section one,

part two, section one. And it starts off with this section right here,

becoming a leader. How to succeed as a new leader.

Once you have been selected as a leader, it is time to lead.

What is the best way to do this? Like many things starting off on the right foot is simple,

but not easy. Here are some fundamental rules to keep in mind as you take command.

One, be humble. It is an honor to be in a leadership position.

Your team is counting on you to make the right decisions.

Two, don't act like you know everything. You don't.

The team knows that. Ask smart questions.

Three, listen, ask for advice and heed it.

Six, pass credit for success up and down the chain of command.
