Jocko Willink: 我认为高效团队的关键在于领导者的谦逊。在我的海豹突击队生涯中，我深刻体会到，没有一个人是完美的，总有人比你强。与其试图证明自己的能力，不如专注于不断学习和改进。我从不认为自己擅长任何事情，这反而促使我每天努力工作，不断提升自己。在领导团队时，我总是保持开放的心态，倾听团队成员的意见，并做出最小的、渐进式的决策。我深知，团队成员的意见和想法往往比我更好，因此我总是乐于听取他们的建议，并与他们一起合作完成任务。我努力营造一个信任、尊重、互相影响和关怀的团队氛围，这使得团队成员之间能够紧密合作，共同克服困难。我坚信，团队成员之间的良好关系是团队成功的关键，而自我是建立良好人际关系的最大障碍。因此，领导者应该控制好自己的自我的，保持谦逊的态度，才能更好地与团队成员相处，并带领团队取得成功。

Most people believe the only way to lead is to become the best at something. But what if great leadership means admitting you’re not the best at anything?

Jocko Willink believes the secret to his greatest achievements come down to one thing – humility. A retired Navy SEAL commander, Jocko served 20 years in the U.S. military, leading one of the most decorated special operations units through combat in the Iraq War. A New York Times bestselling author, podcast host, and entrepreneur, he now teaches those in the civilian world the skills he learned from his time in the SEAL Teams.

This was my first time meeting Jocko Willink, and we discussed why new leaders should never try to prove their own competence and the difference between tyrannical and open-minded leaders.

This…is A Bit of Optimism.
