Short transcript excerpt from a talk on leadership and communication arguing that effective leadership requires sustained emotional investment and time rather than quick fixes like short trainings or conferences. The speaker contrasts rapid expectations with examples (e.g., Navy SEAL training) to emphasize that leadership development can take years and requires foundational work.
Communication is paramount, but understanding how to communicate is sometimes complex. But it's really. We don't do it well because it takes emotional capital. It takes time for you to personally invest in people. And we don't like that. We just want to send people away to a weekend conference and say come back an amazing leader. You know, why haven't, why hasn't things turned around? You were, you were a conference a week ago. Why does your team still hate you? You know, it takes time. Kyle will share here. You know, one of the things that blows me away is people think just because a steel makes it through hell week and Bud's training that he's now see and he'll tell you that it takes almost two full years before you can even go on mission and be considered a full seal. And yet, you know, part of the problem that we have is we want everything, everything so dang quick these days that nobody wants to put the emotional time and capital in to making sure that we get the foundation right so we can grow properly 100%.
