“Go into meetings prepared to listen and learn. Don’t expect to brief or be briefed, but to engage and understand”
— Jocko Willink

Simplified Meaning:
When you go into a meeting, it's important to be ready to pay attention and learn from others. Don't go in thinking you'll just give a quick talk or get some quick information. Instead, focus on having a real conversation and truly understanding what others have to say. For example, imagine you're on a sports team. If you only ever talk about your own ideas without listening to your coach or teammates, you might miss some important tactics or strategies. By actively listening and engaging, you can learn new skills and better understand how everyone can work together. This approach can help you build better relationships and come up with stronger solutions.
