    Advice I've taken way from this video.
    1. Ownership: Its always the architect's fault.
    2. Be Aggressive: Shoulder check the oldest PE/SE in the office to assert dominance.
    3. Don't reinvent the wheel: Don't invent wheels, we're structural engineers not mechanical engineers.
    I'm kidding by the way! This was great advice not only for performing the job but for changing how you interreact with coworkers and professionals from the other disciplines. I definitely think its best be someone who doesn't hide from their mistakes but accepts them and moves on. Thanks for another insightful video Mat!

    Something you can do outside your workplace
    1. Taken your ownership- Sometimes construction leaders tell you (designers) how they build up their construction projects before you do any designing phase of projects. Next time, find out how they build up their stuff. Also, you should stop blaming the natural disaster or Humanmade disaster. You should taking care of that messy situation.
    2. Ask for forgiveness, not permission- buy books and/ or go to educational services. You can go to seminars. Also you can go to your local (or any online program) colleges or universities for few semesters class. You can taking classes with few credits, not getting the full graduate level college degree program. Find the classes that you are struggling with it. You can give free education or training to workplace.
    3. Sometimes it's OK cheating and stealing. For you, Mat, if you plan moving to rural or suburbs areas that has no earthquake risk or high rise towers. It OK ask an other structural engineering firm how they do design work of small homes or smaller commercial buildings in no earthquake risk area if you plan start your company or stay same company in new areas.

    Extreme ownership is critical. People who make excuses don’t get better.

    Good Video! But I don't see the logic behind advice one. Of course you should take responsibility, but often the management could be at fault, that also has to be addressed. As a employee "ownership" is really reduced.

    Hey can't explain it here, but I'm finding myself often in the analysis paralysis situation in my new work place. Many times it's exhausting. Any advice how to manage this?
