The one place you MUST advocate for yourself is in medical healthcare situations. Sometimes the standard practice in a given healthcare facility or situation isn’t correct for you and in some cases can even threaten your life. In those situations it’s great to have others advocate for you, but you definitely need to advocate for yourself as well because you’re the only one who’ll be there. In personal and professional life outside of medical/health situations, this is 100% true. I’ve always looked out for others at work and in life and it has in turn, taken great care of me. There are others in my organization who are incredibly self serving and everyone knows it and doesn’t trust them or even like them at all.
This comment is advocating for your own ego
@@ivywoodxrecords I don’t agree with your take on that, but that’s okay. It’s possible you haven’t experienced medical situations that has required advocating for yourself, but it’s definitely necessary at times. Doctors and medical professionals are humans after all - they’re fallible - and they can’t know every single thing about every single human on the planet. Also sometimes, as much as it’s terrible to contemplate - medical policies and practices in certain facilities are dictated more by money than by care for patients.
@BradleyMakesThings You are 💯% correct about being your own advocate in medical situations. That is so important.
@@ivywoodxrecords Understood, but you know, usually any type of advice is meant for particular situations, and the presenter gave a good example of that situation. In other situations, ya' gotta do the opposite, like on your resume, trying to get a job, etc, you do know yourself better than others who are busy with their own things and not in your "team". Likewise, there are medicines and advices for reducing blood-pressure, but its disaster for someone who was born with and always already has low blood pressure all the time anyways. And personal-development advice that says to speak less & listen more...not appropriate for someone who is already too quiet, and shy and has social anxiety, they need to speak MORE. : )
Absolutely. Healthcare does the bare minimum to keep costs down.
The remdesivir / ventilator protocol used in hospitals in recent years needed to be challenged from the beginning. That kind of advocating for yourself is essential.
As far as corporate America goes this is objectively untrue. It doesn’t matter how well you preform, you will not reworded for it… it’s true.
Corporate life in a nutshell: It’s not how well you perform, it’s how well other people are aware of how you perform. It’s better to be visibly mid than to be a top performer that no one is aware of.
I work with a colleague who steals all praise for work others do.
I'll bet she's always right too! Right?
@@mtlicq Dayyum. That's some next level accuracy right there. How did you know?
That assumes you are on a team of colleagues, as opposed to being alone against competitors
When the lawyer you hired doesn't advocate for you, and you have never in your life advocated for yourself-always taken the high road, you will find yourself in a major quagmire, especially if you have kids and you don't want to put them "on the stand."
To take Jocko’s advice. Advocate for the team. Who’s the team here? Your family. Your kids. Your mom and dad and brothers and sisters. You don’t say, oh I need my kids I’m a good dad. You say I want my kids to be successful in life. To be successful they need a network of people who love them to take care of and raise them. They need their aunts and uncles and grandparents in their life. All of their family. Not just half of it. You say how bad it would be for the kids to be separated from this whole group of people who will help them through life.
And guess who is the linch pin that connects your family and your kids?
I tend to disagree. Maybe it’s different in an arena of extreme teamwork, like the SEALS but other areas you see everyone is simply out for themself. I’m military and still see this. I try to exalt those around me but get the shit end of the stick. Been more than 2 years since my last promotion.
Yep. Spent 27 years in tech and everyone is a back stabber.
Very powerful BECAUSE, I've got this situation right now in my life.
Even if, there's a mixture of crap amongst the truth that you need to own, it sounds like the best way is to "Shutup and Produce", and the other crap will dissipate!
Jocko you got my gears turning at 5am today. This is gold, thanks.
Advocate for the mission. Good advice!
Romans chapter 12; verse 10 *"in honour, preferring one another"*
Luke chapter 14 verses 7 - 11 *"whoever exalts himself will be humbled;* and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Jocko's out here acting like bad bosses don't exist and never fail or refuse to give credit where credit is due. Get real, Jocko.
Jealous much?
@@KiwiKirsty1983 Nothing he says can be of value if he's not living in the same reality we are.
@@KiwiKirsty1983 Use an actual argument, dingus.
What's good y'all 👋👋
Interested to hear this
PROVERBS 27:2 N I V
Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips.
This verse has served me well, I used to self promote because I was insecure and people did not like me, then I started following this verse out of obedience, not knowing it would lead to people liking me and saying frequent nice things about me, praise be to Jesus the LORD for his sharing is wisdom with man
I agree with this, esp in business, but there are times. in dealing with family, or other personal relationships, you do have to advocate for yourself.. or you'll get trampled on, esp if there are verbal bullies involved.
Ngl I did this thinking about positive net impact on society
Wow, I’m a person with a disability and I’ve never heard “advocate fur yourself” outside the disability space
Generally, people with disabilities need to protect themselves and keep themselves physically safe.
I’m trying to find a bs job rn and I’m almost totally blind. I have a team helping me and they just found me a job which I had to reject.
As a parking lot attendant, I woulda been in a parking lot for 6 hours, helping less than sober motorists see their way around…except I’m blind…so, I had to reject that job, advocate for myself and reconfigure the mission as if my team is finding stuff like that then stuff’s wrong. However, advocating for myself totally lowers my status and could kill the team. But, that team was like: “why’d the blind guy so upset about having to show people where to park at?” They’re oblivious that I could get hit by a car way more easily than someone else. So, it just sucks all around.
I was placed in a code/algorithm where I'm constantly trolled (gaslit) and/or shadow banned, and the ONLY podcast that "shows" me a decent amount of 'likes' is where the posters DIDN'T/DON'T get a lot of attention IRL. That DOESN'T describe me and I CAN'T RELATE to that. Supposedly, their peers consider them unattractive physically. So, I'm left to advocate for myself - tell the facts.
Edit: They also expect me to text in a one and a half inch box every time I post.
love these videos. do you mind turning the bass down a bit? 😅
All the comments here proving they stopped listening at second 5. It’s like no one can understand nuance anymore, they think their own personal situation-the exception-is the norm. If you can’t understand what he’s getting at, then you’re not listening. It’s like when someone compliments the job you did, and you say “well I couldn’t have done it without this person being on my team”. You’re not denying the compliment, you’re lifting someone else up with you. It makes ppl respect you even more. This is a simple psychological FACT. So when he says “don’t advocate for yourself”, he’s saying “don’t do crap that signals to everyone else that you only care about YOU”, otherwise they won’t trust your motives and why you want to do this or that. I honestly don’t get why ppl don’t understand this, other than they just can’t understand nuance anymore.
Which episode is this from?
This indicates a keen lack of civilian life experience. Bosses in civilian life are not the same as in military life, Jocko. They don't have a life or death incentive to promote the best, they have an incentive rather to protect their own position. They regularly pass over qualified employees for promotions whether you self promote or not, and more often if you don't. This is just plain bad advice and surprisingly naive coming from someone who considers themselves a hard man.
❤
Does an Alpha call themselves and Alpha? Because when you tell people you are in essence, seeking validation. If you truly are the thing you think you are, you act accordingly, you don’t require attention for it.
All these people taking it out of context just so they can say they're "smarter than Jocko."
You all still working with Matt Malone and groundworks in VB
Easy for you to say jocko ........
Cheaaak😆
I tried to watch and imagine where these things apply to my work situation and 90% of the time I don't agree with the premise like this particular video. Over the past several years acting as a SME project lead, I have had to advocate for myself to my boss because he/she wouldn't know enough of the details to understand the impact that I had. I have team members and folks from other teams give me kudos (emails and company website) on multiple occasions but my boss wouldn't know about them unless I brought them up during out quarterly review sessions. Mr Willink, at times, you paint with a very broad brush and I feel like your messages fall flat. I have found that 10% of the time you have helped me with a particular scenario (underperforming colleagues) but it did take about 4-8 videos to piece it all together. I hope you find this as helpful and not as something meant to disparage you.
The most worthwhile causes are often selfishly pursued by their champions. Nothing wrong with selfishness as a motivator when it gets the job done.
Do the work, let other people sing your praises. Simple.
on the contrary, im reminding people that they are LOST BY CHOICE, so the time they see the J day which is near, they will realize in thats econd WHY they are not going to make it. they will remeber these days, when i remind them that they are BY VANITY CHOOSE TO BE LOST while i was there yelling at them.
do you think the J day coming because you all doing great? because you are getting wronger and wronger and wronger everytime.
i remind people that "im here watch where youa re going you are gettting lost".

This is so silly. This assumes advocation as part of a team. When you're on the phone to health insurance and they're not processing your claim, yes, you have to advocate for yourself. He's defined the cases of advocacy need out of existence. As if everything in life and work is a "team."
Yep, most situations you are alone, not on a team
Lol false. Need some real world experiences.
