It's in day to day life, about day to day things.  People hate the idea that they're in control of their own lives and luck isn't a big factor, because it suggests that their shortcomings are their own fault and not some nebulous force they can offload all of the blame onto.\r\n\r\nI strongly recommend this book: https://www.amazon.ca/Extreme-Ownership-U-S-Navy-SEALs/dp/1250067057","subreddit_name":"getdisciplined","author":"WolfSpace34"},{"body":"It's hard to say, not knowing your friend or what she is doing.\r\n\r\nI bought a whole case of these books to give to everyone in an office I was advising.

I think it’s a normal metal reaction that’s probably tied to a predisposition to the ‘flight’ response. \r\n\r\nFor me, I take my leadership style from Extreme Ownership.

I think there is just a lot of shift in the industry. I don't know if it will head for a crash though. I think even before covid, at least for the jobs around my area, there was this shift from companies who just want a decent dev which meant someone who could code, to companies wanting decent product driven devs. Which means ability to code, but also ability to own the product and share some responsibilities with PMs as well. I think it was partially driven by a lot of successful companies and startups having those types of devs. I think there was also this book that I've seen a lot of management and leadership point to about [extreme ownership](https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Ownership-U-S-Navy-SEALs/dp/1250067057). And depending on your company, it could be treated healthily or something that burns devs out.\r\n\r\nSo even before covid, I see those groups of people who aren't as product driven being burnt out a bit. I feel like before being silo'd was more acceptable as well, whereas companies want to be more cross functional. The TLDR is that devs were slowly shouldering more burden. I was okay and actually enjoyed this though because it means I can make and influence certain decisions about the product. I specifically joined companies because I was interested in the mission. But not everyone was the same.\r\n\r\nThe of course covid happened.","subreddit_name":"ExperiencedDevs","author":"Agent666-Omega"},{"body":"Honestly, I'm not that well read. I like Business and Strategy books and modern combat.  I'm currently reading [Extreme Ownership](https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Ownership-U-S-Navy-SEALs/dp/1250067057), its a great book with solid leadership principles. This is actually my second time reading it, overall a solid book on holding yourself accountable.","subreddit_name":"AskMenOver30","author":"Slammedtgs"},{"body":"\u0026gt;Let my self go a bit with ~~carbonated drinks~~ poison during winter,\r\n\r\nYou need to see that shit as the antithesis to what you're trying to accomplish, and therefore not a reward.   \r\n\r\n\r\n\u0026gt;  I can either change careers, no idea what to, or start being an actual leader. I don't know if I have it in me or if I care enough. \r\n\r\nYou care enough from the sounds of it. You're scared. [Decent book.](https://www.amazon.ca/Extreme-Ownership-U-S-Navy-SEALs/dp/1250067057) Highly recommend the audio version, they are hilariously alpha and any of us here can't even come close. The principles are about as solid as you can get.","subreddit_name":"marriedredpill","author":"TournamentSpecies"},{"body":"I have no tips for your situation, but I would read the excellent [Extreme Ownership](https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Ownership-U-S-Navy-SEALs/dp/1250067057/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1490689310\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=extreme+ownership): it talks about simple and effective principles of leadership. It doesn't talk about your specific situation but I think it will give you a lot of food for thought.","subreddit_name":"asktrp","author":"baubaumorgen"},{"body":"I'm assuming you are now a full grown adult, and from the sounds, you were a rather mature kid as well. Assuming you are, indeed, adopted, your parents seem to have done a good job at both bringing you up in a loving way, and not keeping you so sheltered that you can't discern the truth. \r\n\r\nMany, many kids, hell even adults, don't have your level of confidence to let things roll right off their shoulders. I think we kinda have to be aware of that too. That we're not all the same. While on some level I agree that \"it doesn't bother me, so it shouldn't bother you\" is, indeed, valid (and probably many problems could be solved this way, by not giving them any energy to thrive), but while it may be very difficult for us to find a truth that would hurt you, that may not be the case for everyone. Especially for kids. \r\n\r\nI, too, try to \"always tell the truth, or at least don't lie.\"\r\n\r\nTruth can hurt when it leads to lack of empathy or understanding. Chris Voss, who wrote a book about negotiation (it's great if you haven't read it) talks about how the most important part of a negotiation is the listening and letting the other person know that they're heard. \r\n\r\nTo provide a crazy trite, and rather poor example...\r\n\r\nMy son was still little enough that he was into the spirit of Santa (not the person, but the idea of giving) when my niece gave him a \"Santa isn't real, you know.\" That part of the family is quite traditionally Christian. I could've said, \"Jesus rising from the dead isn't real either.\" Would it have been petty? Yes. Would it have been true? Yes. Would it have made for weirdness for the rest of our visit? Yes. \r\n\r\nInstead I said something along the lines of, \"There are lots of things that different people believe in that are useful to them, and we like the idea and spirit of giving, which is what we think Santa represents.\" Was this still true? Yes. \r\n\r\nI think what I'm trying to get at is that sometimes people (I'm NOT saying you are doing this, we're having a great back and forth) use \"I'm just telling the truth\" as a defense to not be kind or understanding. \r\n\r\nI get what you're saying from an [Extreme Ownership](https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Ownership-U-S-Navy-SEALs/dp/1250067057) standpoint, in that we're responsible for our own situations and emotions. I just think that there is something different with who is handling the truth and what they are doing with it. It can lead to better understanding, and a more robust society in general, or it can be twisted into something that's divisive and puts walls in between us. \r\n\r\nI'm all for the truth, and I expect it. I also expect empathy, kindness, and even a little bit of a sense of huor. Those things don't often go together nearly as often as they should.","subreddit_name":"JordanPeterson","author":"maxofreddit"},{"body":"\u0026gt; Complaining doesn't get shit done.\r\n\r\nThis video and the book kinda reflect that thinking.

There exists specific qualities that people can have or exemplify that make them notably good leaders. There is no perfect leader, of course.  But there are people that have been as great of leaders as people can realistically be.   \r\nThen there are people who have been poor leaders relative to the good ones.  Trump is a poor leader, he lacks the qualities that inspiring, motivational, fair, just and courageous leaders have.   \r\n\r\n\u0026gt;from Mao and Stalin to FDR (arguably). We have no idea what any of them spoke like prior to the internet.    \r\n\r\nWat?  We have historical records, especially of FDR.   And I am not talking only about \"how they speak\" i am talking about qualities they have that make them good leaders, speech and articulation being one of them.  I am talking about how they inspire, motivate, change, learn, adapt, accept and own failure, accept responsibility for their actions and mistakes.  Trump is awful at all of those.     \r\nAlso, why do you think i am only speaking about leaders of state?  I am speaking of any leader of almost anything including armies and business.   \r\n  \r\n\r\n\u0026gt;Everything was scripted, written by speech writers, or published after editing.   \r\n\r\nUh...no.  Again i am not speaking **only** about heads of state.  I am talking about leadership in general.  I highly recommend this book [Extreme Ownership](https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Ownership-U-S-Navy-SEALs/dp/1250067057) wrtitten by Jocko about leadership in the navy seals.  Read that book then watch trump and you'll see how pathetic Trump's leadership is in comparison to actual strong leaders.\r\n\r\n\u0026gt; That being said, there are plenty of quiet and twitter timid leaders around the globe right now committing atrocities   \r\n\r\nWhat your point?  I am not saying Trump is the ONLY shitty leader i am just saying he is a shitty leader.  He lacks the Resilience, Transparency, Emotional Intelligence, Passion, Empathy, Empowerment, Open-mindedness, Patience, Diplomacy, Initiative for action, Humility, Influence, Vision, Trust, Integrity, Problem Solving, Perspective, Listening, Ownership / Accountability, Motivation and vocabulary to be a great leader.   \r\nThe way he speaks and acts comes across as weak, desperate, dishonest. close-minded, impatient, undiplomatic and juvenile.  \r\nI was willing to give him a shot even though i didnt like him because i was willing to be wrong and maybe everyone else saw something i didnt but these last 4 have proved that he is even worse than i thought.","subreddit_name":"POTUSWatch","author":"Bad-Association"}]}
