Exploring deeper themes from the Marine Corps Institute’s Leadership Credo. Leadership isn’t about rank—it’s about earning trust through action. True leadership requires understanding human will, stress, fear, and mission focus. The will to fight is central in combat—and in life. Emotional control, both personally and within teams, determines success or failure. Jiu-jitsu parallels are drawn to show how will, not just skill, defines performance. Leaders must inspire through hardship, guiding others even amid chaos, loss, and uncertainty. Leadership is the art of influencing people to push beyond their limits toward shared goals.

The brutal legacy of the Battle of Iwo Jima—America’s bloodiest Marine Corps battle. Drawing from Marine Colonel Joseph H. Alexander’s powerful article Combat Leadership at Iwo Jima, they unpack the sheer scale, strategy, and human cost of the fight. Jocko highlights the critical role of combat experience, disciplined training, and small-unit leadership in surviving such savage conditions. The conversation also explores modern SEAL training, live fire exercises, and how simulated chaos prepares warriors for real-world battlefield mistakes—especially the deadly consequences of “blue-on-blue.” This is a sobering reflection on war, preparation, and the will to lead when it matters most.
