This is the Jocko Underground Podcast number 185 sitting here with Echo Charles.

You all have sent us some questions from the field and we will provide you with some guidance, some recommendations, some answers, or at a minimum some possible courses of actions that you can follow.

So here we go.

Let's get into it.

Here we go.

First question.

I'm a high school principal.

I spent the last decade working towards being the best version of myself, reading, lifting, training, and eliminating most anything that is not productive to my quest to achieve personal excellence.

Where I struggle as a leader is watching others around me be okay with mediocrity.

Their lack of desire to improve daily fuels me to be the best, the very best I can be, but frustrates me that I see so much more in them than they see in themselves.

Do I continue to keep my foot on the gas in an effort to influence them to see they are just floating through life?

or do I accept that 10% of my staff are going to fall short of my expectations of them and the true potential they have as educators and leaders in my school.

Keep the rad designs coming for the shirtlocker tees.

Thank you.

Jack, that's what it is.

I like that.

And he says that 10% of his staff is about 10 to 12 people.

so um welcome to reality this is this is a reality right here there's a there's a bell curve

there's a bell curve in the world there's a bell curve in any organization you got your top performer formers you got like that top 10 of the

top performers and then you got the whole big middle area of the bell curve and that you know there's people that are like do a little bit better and in the middle of the bell curve and people that do a little bit worse in the middle of the bell curve.

And then there's the bottom 10%.

And that's just the way it is.

And everyone thinks like in the most elite places that no, in a SEAL platoon, there's a bell curve.

In a SEAL team, there's a bell curve.

In any organization, there's a bell curve.

And you got some front running pipe hitters at the top end that are crushing.

You got the middle people that are doing their job to varying levels.

And then you got some turds.

So what should you do?

I mean, first of all, your question is, do I continue to keep my foot on the gas?

Yes.

In an effort to influence them?

Yes.

To see they're floating through life?

Well, you know, it doesn't matter.

That shouldn't affect the way you're getting after it, right?

So I think you're good there.

Keep getting after it.

We know that.

Listen, I would invest, you know, invest in the top performers.

You know, how much can you help them?

How can you help them grow even more?

because they're getting after it.

How can you make the middle performers into top performers?

And I wouldn't, you know, I'm not going to abandon the bottom 10%.

I just don't write them off and never think about them again.

But I recognize, okay, I'll check in with them.

Well, you know, once a quarter.

Once a quarter.

You know, maybe, hey, you still good to go?

Hey, did you want to, you know, think about that, you know, running that thing for the school council or whatever?

No, it's just extra collateral duty.

Do you get paid for it?

Well, no, you don't get paid, but it's going to give you some good experience.

I don't want to do it.

Okay, cool.

You see what I'm saying?

But maybe after three years, you go, hey, you want to run that little student council thing?

There's no pay for it, as you know, but other teachers taking over this other project, so if you want to do it, and maybe in three years they go, yeah, I wouldn't mind doing that.

So you don't abandon them, checking with them periodically,

but you also can't expend a bunch of energy trying to get them to freaking get on board with being like a a a better performer because

they're getting their paycheck this happens in every industry every industry oh these people they just collect a paycheck and they don't really care yep cool welcome that's the way the world is

also don't get frustrated about this like you can't get frustrated it's just just the way people are it's the phase of their life you can ask them earnest questions you can try and influence them Listen, you can't go wood.

You want to be a loser.

Nope.

They'll be like, I'm not a freaking loser.

Screw you.

The principal sucks.

You know what I'm saying?

You build a relationship with them.

That's what this boils down to.

Build a relationship with them.

Trust, listen, respect, influence, and care.

And if you do that, and you ask earnest questions, earnest questions.

Where do you think you're going to be in 10 years?

That's not an earnest question.

It's like, hey, you love teaching in the classroom so much that that's kind of what you want to do.

for your whole career?

And they might say, yeah, actually it is.

And you go, okay, cool.

And they might say, well, I think so.

And then three weeks later or three months later, they go, you know, you asked me if I always wanted to be in the classroom, I was thinking about it.

And I do, but I think I wanna do it, you know, I think I wanna eventually get to becoming a college professor.

Oh, so you gotta go take some more classes.

You know, all of a sudden you got, you know, so do that.

and

do your best to help the people out but don't over invest in them that's kind of what I got you know this is life this is

the way people are you're going to find them no matter where you are don't let them hold you back but and

don't let them uninspire you to keep getting after and keep setting an awesome example and build relationships with them build relationships with

them that's what we're doing across the board it seems like you do a good job of in these situations because i see you know you can kind

of see it not you know well i think i do anyway but you do it comes off to me that you do a

good job of not judging people who are like not perform you know not getting after it as hard as maybe the next guy or whatever don't bro because people are interested in different things yeah yeah what i mean like

Like, you know, what's the one man trash, another man's treasure?

Sure.

Well, one man's triumph is another person's like, we don't give a shit.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Like, have you ever told someone like, I'm a jujitsu black belt?

They're like, what is that?

100

In their mind, they're literally thinking karate.

101

They're thinking Rex Kwan Do.

102

They're like, whatever, dude.

103

Yeah, my eight-year-old son has a black belt too.

104

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

105

They're like, oh, yeah, yeah.

106

My nine-year-old just got his black belt.

107

You guys are the same now.

108

But it's true that with everything, right?

109

Yeah, you're right.

110

Well, I spent 20 years in the military.

111

Oh, cool.

112

Whatever.

113

You know?

114

Oh, I wrote some books.

115

Oh, I wrote a New York Times bestseller.

116

Oh.

117

But I don't care.

118

So when someone is not interested in stuff that I'm interested in, it doesn't, I 100% expect that.

119

And I don't think anything that I've done is like,

120

oh look what i did yeah and you can't help but because i've been in a situation where actually pretty recently dude

121

i barely have a black belt i wrote books you know what i mean i don't really care but i've been in a situation on the

122

other side of things where i'm like bro it's not that serious bro and you can tell like this person's really into what's going on like

123

and i'm and it's just right on the front of my mind as if this is my feeling was like bro life is way bigger than this thing you know kind of a thing and the thing is that can be true for anything even if you're at work,

124

literally at work, what you do for a quote unquote living, there's more to life than this job.

125

And a lot of people are in a position and just their opinion of life, their approach to life.

126

There's more to life than just freaking like making sure you got this report.

127

Okay.

128

You know, so actually I'm going to like, I'm the opposite of you there.

129

Cause I'm kind of like, dude, that's awesome.

130

Like good job.

131

Good job.

132

When someone's really into what they're doing, whatever it is, I'm kind of stoked for them.

133

Yeah.

134

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

135

So, and again, I'm not saying that part isn't the part I'm talking about.

136

I'm just saying if someone's too into it and having this expectation onto you that you should be into it the same way I am, you'll have a big disconnect there.

137

It's not constructive, you know, so don't be that person in a judgmental way.

138

See what I'm saying?

139

Hey, be fired up.

140

Hell yeah, all day.

141

You know, but don't be like, hey, you should be in my lane too.

142

And if you're not, like I'm angry.

143

We got beef.

144

And we got beef, you know, see what I'm saying?

145

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

146

There's all kinds of, you know, that's good.

FOR YOU

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
