It's not what you preach, it's what you tolerate.
In this episode of the Relational Recovery Podcast, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill delve into the principles of Extreme Ownership, a leadership philosophy that emphasizes personal accountability and high standards. They discuss the idea that it's not what you preach, but what you tolerate, which serves as a foundational concept for effective leadership. The conversation begins with the notion that implementing Extreme Ownership requires leaders to check their egos and operate with humility.
This involves admitting mistakes, taking ownership, and developing plans to overcome challenges. Wes and Austin highlight the importance of not tolerating behaviors that are detrimental to community standards, such as substance abuse or abusive conduct. Tolerance, they argue, can lead to a culture where poor performance becomes the norm. This is particularly problematic when leaders fail to hold themselves and others accountable, allowing substandard performance to become acceptable.
The hosts emphasize the need for leaders to set clear expectations and ensure that everyone is held to these standards. Grace plays a role in leadership, but it should not be confused with allowing poor performance to slide. Instead, grace should be about forgiving mistakes while encouraging individuals to meet established expectations.
Wes reflects on his personal challenges with maintaining self-control in areas such as eating habits and media consumption, and how these personal behaviors can reflect broader issues of ownership and accountability. The discussion concludes with a call for leaders to fight for the standards they set, both for themselves and others. Wes and Austin recognize the difficulty of maintaining high standards but stress the importance of doing so to foster a culture of excellence.
Listeners are encouraged to consider how they can apply Extreme Ownership in their own lives, both personally and professionally, as a means to drive growth and improve community standards.
