What separates real leaders from people just playing the part? Extreme ownership.
Vertriebskultur im B2B-Vertrieb – das ist die wichtigste Lektion nach 1.000 Folgen, denn ohne starke Kultur bleibt selbst das beste Team unter seinen Möglichkeiten. Warum ist das so? Weil Kultur jeden Kontakt prägt: vom ersten Anruf bis zur Verlängerung. Sie definiert, was wir zulassen, wie wir Prioritäten setzen und woran wir wachsen. Deshalb entscheidet sie langfristig über Umsatz, Win-Rates und Mitarbeiterbindung. Und genau darum spreche ich in dieser Jubiläumsfolge sehr klar – damit du die richtigen Stellschrauben erkennst und sofort drehen kannst. Erstens: Formuliere Prinzipien, nicht nur Werte. Dadurch wird Kultur sichtbar und messbar. Zum Beispiel: Kundenfokus vor Eitelkeit, Tempo vor Perfektion, Qualität in jedem Kontakt, Coaching jede Woche. Zweitens: Lebe Konsequenz, denn Führung zeigt sich nicht im Gesagten, sondern im Geduldeten. Drittens: Trainiere kontinuierlich, weil Skills sonst erodieren. Viertens: Recruite mutig und manage Leistung transparent – A-Spieler rein, Underperformance mit Plan verbessern oder sauber trennen. Schließlich: Sichtbares Scoreboard, damit jeder jederzeit weiß, wo wir stehen. Wie setzt du das um? Zuerst definierst du 5–7 Team-Prinzipien schriftlich; anschließend übersetzt du sie in Routinen: wöchentliche Pipeline-Reviews, strukturierte Deal-Qualifizierung und sauberes Onboarding. Außerdem etablierst du eine Coaching-Kadenz mit klaren Lernzielen. Dadurch entsteht Verbindlichkeit, während gleichzeitig Freiraum für Eigenverantwortung bleibt. Zudem fütterst du ein zentrales Playbook, damit Wissen nicht versickert, sondern skalierbar wird. Doch Kultur braucht Vorbilder. Deshalb beginnen High-Performance-Teams bei der Führung: Extreme Ownership statt Ausreden, Kontext statt Mikromanagement und Proaktivitat statt Abwarten. Wenn Leader konsequent vorleben, folgen Prozesse, denn Verhalten wirkt ansteckend. So verankerst du Standards, die Leistung erleichtern, statt sie zu behindern. Ein Wort zur Messung: Kultur ist unsichtbar, allerdings zeigen Zahlen schnell die Folgen – Ramp-up-Zeit, Conversion-Raten, Forecast-Genauigkeit und Retention. Wenn diese Metriken steigen, passen Prinzipien und Routinen. Sinkt der Trend, justierst du – früh, offen und faktenbasiert. Dadurch bleibst du beweglich, obwohl die Standards stabil sind. Mein Fazit: Vertriebskultur im B2B-Vertrieb ist kein „Nice to have“, sondern der Hebel, der Tools, Taktiken und Talente erst wirksam macht. Wenn du deine Kultur bewusst definierst, konsequent vorlebst und über Routinen absicherst, dann folgen Umsatz, Fokus und Vertrauen. Und genau dabei unterstütze ich dich gerne – für dein nächstes Wachstumslevel.

Motivation will get you started, but only discipline will keep you on track. In Episode 105 of the JP Dinnell Podcast, JP and Lucas dive deep into the struggle every leader, athlete, and believer faces: how to stay focused on your mission when distractions, doubt, and setbacks come your way. Drawing on Navy SEAL training, Biblical wisdom, and real-world leadership experience, this conversation unpacks: Why motivation fades but discipline carries you through the grind How to stay on God's path even when the road feels unclear The difference between perseverance and redirection — and how to know God's will in those moments Practical strategies to overcome criticism, fear, and self-doubt How discipline builds resilience and long-term success in life, faith, and leadership Scripture references like Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 3:5-6, and Matthew 6:33 provide the foundation for a disciplined, purpose-driven life. Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or simply trying to stay true to your calling, this episode will equip you to move forward with clarity and confidence.
When the mission matters, how do you decide who leads? In this episode, JP Dinnell and Lucas break down the decision-making process for choosing the right person under pressure — whether in combat, law enforcement, or business. You'll learn why elite teams don't just rely on seniority, how to assess skill sets under stress, and why debriefs and training prepare leaders for critical moments. JP shares firsthand lessons from Navy SEAL operations and workshops with law enforcement leaders, showing how culture, humility, and performance drive trust across teams. This episode is packed with practical leadership takeaways you can use in any environment: How to identify the most qualified person for the job Why training builds confidence for both leaders and teams How culture creates decentralized command and long-term success
Do you ever feel like leadership is reserved only for people with titles, positions, or big personalities? Maybe you've doubted yourself, wondering if you're “enough” to step up—or feared that mistakes and emotions might disqualify you from leading. What if leadership wasn't about power or perfection, but about ownership, influence, and the small choices you make every day?Today's guest, Jamie Cochran, proves exactly that. Jamie is the Chief Operating Officer at Echelon Front, the premier leadership consultancy founded by former Navy SEALs Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. Over the last 12 years, Jamie has helped organizations of every size—from startups to global enterprises—develop leaders at every level. She not only runs the operational side of the business but also teaches leadership principles in the field, guiding teams to adopt practical tools for real-world challenges.What makes Jamie unique is her belief that leadership is the solution to every problem. She shows that anyone—whether you're a student, a parent, a CEO, or a teammate—can lead with courage, humility, and clarity. Drawing on principles like Extreme Ownership, detachment from emotion, and the power of the “read back,” Jamie equips people with tools to influence others positively, solve problems effectively, and grow through mistakes rather than fear them.Her passion is clear: helping people realize they already have what it takes to lead, and showing them how to practice leadership in every corner of life—at home, at work, and within themselves.Quotes:"Leadership exists at every level. Any human being who's interacting with other human beings has an opportunity to influence them, and so you're a leader in whatever capacity that might be.""Leadership is something that can be learned. Even the best leaders have more opportunity to grow.""Our tendency as human beings is to let our emotions or our ego or our own opinions and perspectives sort of prevent us from seeing the truth of a situation."Actionable Takeaways:Practice Extreme Ownership. Instead of making excuses or blaming others, ask yourself: What part of this situation can I own? Write down one mistake you've made recently and identify one step you can take to fix or learn from it.Detach before deciding. Emotions cloud judgment. Build your own “detachment action plan” (like Jamie's daughter did)—three quick things you can do to reset when you're angry, stressed, or overwhelmed (e.g., take a walk, breathe deeply, write it out).Use the “read back” method. When someone gives you instructions, repeat back what you heard in your own words. This not only prevents miscommunication but also builds trust and shows you're fully engaged.Look for leadership opportunities everywhere. Ask: Where can I step up today without being asked? Whether at home, school, or work, find one area where you can take initiative and serve others.Redefine failure as growth. Instead of fearing mistakes, view them as training reps. Journal: What's one recent failure, what did it teach me, and how can I apply that lesson moving forward?Conclusion:Jamie's journey reminds us that leadership isn't about rank, title, or perfection—it's about responsibility, humility, and the willingness to own our actions. Through Extreme Ownership, detachment from emotion, and practical tools like the read back, she shows that anyone can step into leadership right where they are. Her message is clear: the problems we face are really leadership problems, and the solutions begin with us.

‼️As a leader are you constantly shifting the blame away from yourself and onto the ones you lead? Are you personally accountable in your relationships and friendships or is everything ALWAYS someone else's fault? Using the premise of “Extreme Ownership” from the book by @jockowillink and @leifbabin, this episode examines what a life looks like in leadership when we learn to OWN IT (Extreme Ownership) with those we lead.
Actionable TakeawayStart owning your reactions. They will shape your life more than the events themselves.Ask yourself today: Am I willing to do the work to grow?Stop chasing approval. Build so much self-worth that you no longer need it.Step out of your comfort zone. It is the only place growth happens.Turn your pain into power. Use it as fuel, not an anchor.Define your purpose. Give yourself a reason to leap out of bed every morning.Choose to grow through life, not just go through it.

If you are not giving them those opportunities to solve problems, to come up with solutions, to come up with plans and then go execute on those plans, you are not creating a team that can function without you." - Jamie Cochran

Jeffrey Morgan isn't your typical coach. He's a life strategist and the 2024 Australian Mindset & Life Coach of the Year. Jeffrey grew up in Eveleigh St, Redfern, known as The Block, a place of hard, tough streets where even the police don't want to go. Riots, violence, drugs, and theft led to him spending 20 years behind bars for bank robbery. After losing his parents to cancer and his brother and sister to suicide, he made a decision: no more excuses, only extreme ownership. He rebuilt his life from rock bottom and turned it into a 7-figure global business working with the Australian Defence Force, the NRL, elite athletes, government agencies, and top corporate organisations.

Send us a textWhen was the last time you heard a positive story about what happens inside America's jails? For most of us, these facilities only make headlines when something goes wrong—an escape, a use-of-force incident, or a facility failure. But as Major Shaun Klucznik reveals in this compelling conversation, corrections professionals save lives, change futures, and demonstrate extraordinary leadership every single day, largely without recognition.Major Klucznik's remarkable journey from a 19-year-old corrections cadet to the 45th President of the American Jail Association offers a window into how corrections work and builds exceptional leaders. Starting at $5.60 an hour in 1997, he rose through the ranks while witnessing the profession's transformation. His pivotal role in transitioning Hernando County Jail from private to public operation showcases the complex management challenges correctional leaders navigate."Every position is a position of leadership," Klucznik emphasizes, noting how correctional officers develop crucial skills managing challenging situations with minimal resources beyond their communication abilities. This crucible of leadership development explains why so many officers become community leaders outside work—coaching youth sports, leading religious programs, and serving their communities.The conversation delves into the critical role Field Training Officers play in shaping agency culture, the need for transparent communication with the public about both successes and failures, and how leadership philosophies like Jocko Willink's "Extreme Ownership" create empowered, accountable correctional teams. Klucznik also addresses the profession's fight for recognition as first responders, noting correctional officers are first on scene for suicide attempts, medical emergencies, and facility crises.Whether you work in corrections or simply want to understand this essential but often invisible profession, this episode provides invaluable insights into the leadership, professionalism, and dedication that define America's correctional workforce. As Klucznik powerfully argues, corrections isn't a stepping stone—it's a legitimate career where professionals make life-changing differences every E-mail Shaun at shaunk@aja.orgAmerican Jail Association https://www.americanjail.org/Mentioned by Shaun - Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and WinAlso, check out Michael's newest book - POWER SKILLS: Emotional Intelligence and Soft Skills for Correctional Officers, First Responders, and Beyond PepperBallFrom crowd control to cell extractions, the PepperBall system is the safe, non-lethal option.OMNIOMNI is cutting-edge software designed to track inmates and assets within your prison or jail.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Have you ever asked yourself: "How do I teach my kids accountability when I'm not always perfect myself?" "Does admitting my mistakes actually make me a weaker dad?" "What does it truly take to build unbreakable trust with my children?" If these questions resonate, get ready for a raw and honest conversation that dives deep into one of the most vital lessons dads can teach: extreme ownership. Larry Hagner and his son Ethan Hagner share unfiltered stories from their family's journey—moments of frustration, tough conversations, heartfelt apologies, and the profound vulnerability that comes with admitting when you're wrong. Together, they explore why modeling accountability as a father doesn't diminish your credibility; it fundamentally builds trust and earns lasting respect. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this powerful conversation, we dig into: The Counterintuitive Power of Apology: Larry recounts difficult parenting seasons, including struggles with anger and the immense pressure to be a "perfect" dad, and how genuine apologies transformed those moments. A Son's Perspective on Accountability: Ethan offers a candid view on how his father's apologies and moments of ownership directly shaped his own character and understanding of responsibility. Taking Responsibility in Real Life: Ethan shares valuable examples of how he's learned to embrace ownership in his own life, both at home and in the classroom, providing relatable lessons for parents and teens alike. Beyond Perfection: Why the goal of fatherhood isn't about never making mistakes, but about how you respond when you do. Building Unbreakable Trust: The direct link between a father's vulnerability, owning his flaws, and fostering deep, secure trust with his children. This episode delivers authentic wisdom and reassurance, reminding every dad (and future dad) out there that perfection isn't the goal—connection and growth are. Here's what research and observation highlight about parental accountability and child development: Children whose parents model admitting mistakes and apologizing have 40% higher levels of empathy and a stronger sense of personal responsibility. Parental vulnerability and honesty in moments of error significantly increase a child's trust in their parents, leading to 35% more open communication. Adolescents with fathers who consistently practice accountability show a 25% lower likelihood of engaging in risky behaviors. www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.1stphorm.com/dadedge www.thedadedge.com/mastermind

Episode 087 – Leading Through Chaos, Carrying the Burden, and Knowing When to Walk Away In this episode of the JP Dinnell Podcast, JP and Lucas deliver one of their most transparent and hard-hitting conversations yet — tackling what it means to lead when the burden gets heavy, the mission gets messy, and the relationships around you start shifting. Coming off a powerful FTX leadership training event, JP shares behind-the-scenes lessons on clarity under chaos, how most leaders fail when pressure hits, and why leadership isn't just about serving others — it's about protecting your standards, your team, and your time. They also dig into the hard truth about relationships: not everyone can go where you're going, and sometimes, leadership means cutting ties with people who don't align with your mission — even if they're good people.
Episode 086 – Faith, Fighting & Law Enforcement: The Story of Aaron Price In this episode of The JP Dinnell Podcast, JP sits down with Aaron Price, founder of 5 Stones Jiu-Jitsu and a state trooper in a narcotics unit, to explore the intersection of law enforcement, jiu-jitsu, leadership, failure, and faith. From growing up in a trailer park to nearly becoming a Navy SEAL… from leading drug interdiction missions to starting a jiu-jitsu academy that builds both warriors and men of God—Aaron's journey is one of resilience, purpose, and Extreme Ownership. This conversation gets real. Aaron shares the moment he almost pulled the trigger, the setback that crushed his SEAL dream, and how faith in Jesus Christ rebuilt his purpose and gave him a new mission: training warriors for real life—on and off the mat.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with Jocko Willink — decorated Navy SEAL, best-selling author, and serial entrepreneur — to explore the principles of discipline, leadership, and the relentless pursuit of meaningful goals. From parenting to entrepreneurship, from writing books to rebuilding American factories, this is a masterclass in how to live deliberately and lead effectively. Jocko shares how to recognize the problems that matter, transform them into opportunities, and cultivate the habits that compound into lasting success. Together, they trace the journey of “Way of the Warrior Kid” — from a simple idea to a major motion picture — and reflect on what it means to lead with humility, ask earnest questions, and build a life driven by purpose. Whether you're trying to straighten out your life, launch a business, or simply stay on the path, this episode is packed with hard-won insight on how to aim upward — and stay there. Jocko Willink is a retired U.S. Navy SEAL officer and decorated combat leader who commanded Task Unit Bruiser—the most highly decorated Special Operations unit of the Iraq War. After 20 years of service, including overseeing SEAL leadership training, he co-founded Echelon Front, a leadership consulting firm where he teaches battlefield-tested principles to business leaders. He is also a New York Times bestselling author of “Extreme Ownership, Discipline Equals Freedom,” and the “Way of the Warrior Kid” series, and hosts the popular Jocko Podcast.
