Hi this is relate well I guess yeah yes it is relief I heard you say it is important to think I heard Jocko say this too How do you think meaning? How do you talk to yourself do you ask yourself questions? Do you think by talking to others? What do you believe is the most valuable method for becoming a clear thinker and communicator? That’s a deep question I actually think it’s pretty easy to answer it is easy answer I think I can answer in one word Go detach That’s that’s that’s how I think you you can’t you got to step out you got to step back mentally you gotta step back look at what’s going on and Think of and that’s where you can think about it That’s where you can figure out What’s going on if you can do that You’re there If you can’t do it You don’t even know you’re not doing it That’s the problem when you’re not detached You don’t even know you’re not attached You’re in the storm and you don’t even know it That’s out for that’s exactly right But I think you know for people that maybe don’t fully understand what that means right the this idea of the tattoo which you’ve obviously talked a lot about on here and which is such a key thing for decision making it’s The the I think the key thing there is is to make sure that you’re not you’re not clouded by you know this Emotional attachment to plans which we often talked about with our leaders in the SEAL team so I am Emotionally invested in a plan that I came up with I spent hours or days or weeks or months You know involved in And I want that to succeed of course but but is that you know I gotta have that realistic assessment And that’s what the detachment really requires is that you pull yourself not just physically away You know out of the weeds are to say okay? Let me think about this in the strategic picture But you really you take away that emotional investment that you have to to maybe even whether it’s a plan sometimes It’s a team member as well And if you have you know someone that you just have a close relationship with that you you know that whether there are a relative Of yours or you had a long-standing Relationship with and and that maybe you’ve gotten too close to them and you can’t see that that you know they become more important than the mission and they’re dragging the rest of the team down you’re not making the Call either tighten them up or let them go if that’s that’s the right case so I think what that really requires is You got emotionally pull back It’s it’s a mental thing to really have a brutally honest assessment of the situation That’s that’s independent from any kind of Previous bias that you might have had that’s interesting there because Even if you know like oh yeah I’m gonna detach oh not that easy yeah like yeah Go through the motions You can’t be like hey I’m gonna detach I’m detached right now meanwhile You’re just like I said clouded by the emotional part that you’re like kind of one foot in emotionally so you’re technically not detached So it doesn’t work You know what else is a good way to think is to listen You listen to what people are saying I’ve been thinking about how Moore how he said if you listen you know Twice as much you know everything that you know and you know everything that the other guy knows yeah that’s a great That’s a great thing but if you’re sitting in a you know conversation I mean from a business perspective if you’re in a meeting and and there’s a conversation going on if you’re in the conversation You’re talking you’re adding your piece Well then you’re you’re not detached You’re in it but if you sit back and you listen and you hear what’s going on you can assemble You know thoughts better
