If you're a weak leader, it's like being the kid who can't keep their team from getting lost on the way to the playground.

Jocko Willink talks about 5 signs of weak leadership, and they’re all things that happen when someone isn’t leading well, just like how a bad game plan makes everyone confused.

A weak leader is like the kid who says “I know what we should do” before anyone else gets to talk. That might work once or twice, but if you’re always deciding for the team, they won’t learn how to think for themselves.

When things go wrong, a weak leader is like the kid who says “It wasn’t my fault” even when they dropped everyone’s snacks. If you don’t own up to your mistakes, no one will trust you.

A weak leader doesn’t stand up for their team, it's like being the kid who lets the bigger kids take all the toys without saying anything.

If a weak leader doesn't help others learn and become stronger, they’re like the kid who keeps winning games by themselves but never teaches the rest of the group how to play better.

A weak leader is like the kid who starts playing tag with friends and forgets why they were even at the playground in the first place. If you can't keep your team on track, everyone ends up confused and tired.
