Legends | Jocko Willink on Anger, Discipline and Emotional Control

About this episode

Is losing your temper a sign of strength — or a sign of weakness? Jocko Willink's answer is unambiguous. The former Navy SEAL and leadership expert makes the case that uncontrolled anger is weakness, not power. The most impressive leaders aren't the loudest or the angriest — they're the ones who stay cool, calm, and calculated under pressure. He shares practical techniques for recognising your pre-event indicators before you lose control, and how elite performers recalibrate in real time.
