“Leadership isn't making all the right decisions. It's dealing with the wrong ones”
— Jocko Willink

Simplified Meaning:
Being a leader isn't just about always doing things perfectly. Instead, it's about how you handle mistakes and wrong choices. For example, imagine a soccer coach who decides on a strategy that fails, and the team loses the game. A good coach doesn't give up or blame others. Instead, they figure out what went wrong and find a better plan for the next game. Similarly, in life, when leaders make a bad call, they accept responsibility and work to fix things. This approach helps them learn and grow, setting a good example for others. Learning to manage and learn from mistakes is a key part of becoming a strong, effective leader.
