Summary

Captain Daryle Cardone has 5,000 sailors entrusted to him, many of them in their 20s without much experience in life, much less in battle. He has two nuclear power plants to manage, plus a floating runway with multi-million dollar aircraft taking off 24 hours a day. Sufficient to say Captain Cardone knows a thing or two about leadership. We’re thrilled to have him on the show today. Jay and Captain Cardone have a deep discussion about how to establish a relationship-based culture with a cadence of accountability and feedback. They also talk about the models and systems Captain Cardone has used, especially as he transitioned from leading a crew of 150 to leading a crew of thousands. You can tell just how much Captain Cardone cares about his team. If you’ve been struggling with delegating tasks and developing your team members, this episode is for you. Challenge of the Week: The next time someone asks you a question, instead of giving them the answer, take an extra second and ask a clarifying question. Take that extra step to get even clearer about what they're looking for and give them a chance to find the answer themselves.  If you're a bold risk taker who wants to dream big and achieve a higher level of success in your life or business, visit the1thing.com. *** Boost your language skills fast.

I'm Jay Papazan and this is the One Thing, your weekly guide to the simple steps that lead to extraordinary results.

Let me ask you a question.

0:19.0

Do some days feel like no matter how much you plan for your day, it still ends up being one giant fire drill?

0:26.0

Maybe all of your strategic planning gets thrown out the window because you just can't get your head above water.

0:31.3

We know that we need to be working on the business instead of in it, but we just can't seem to escape.

0:36.1

Maybe you've got a team even.

0:38.4

But no matter how much you try to delegate, you try to share the load, things keep falling back onto your plate.

0:43.5

If that sounds like you, you're going to love this episode. Today we're talking to Captain Daryl

Cardone. He led the USS Ronald Reagan. Now imagine this. You're on an aircraft carrier at sea, constantly having to be battle ready, and you're the one in charge.

You've got 5,000 sailors that have been entrusted to you, many of them leading in their

and a floating runway with multi-million dollar aircraft taking off 24 hours a day. That's the

1:19.4

environment that Captain Cardone had to lead in, and he led in a very unexpected way. Now, you're

1:25.2

thinking a captain, this is going to be someone who shouts orders and

1:29.0

uses his chopping hand. It's exactly just the opposite with Captain Cardone. He's got a very

1:34.7

surprising background. He didn't set out to join the military. He wanted to be a music major. He wanted

1:40.1

to be a rock star. He focused on listening, and that became a part of his leadership style.

1:45.6

You're going to love this episode. I learned a lot. Let's dive in with Captain Cardone.
