S5E28🎙️ LIVE with Senior Chief Martin White, USN (Ret.)
“Knowledge hoarded doesn’t strengthen the team. It just inflates the individual.”
“If you’re the only one who knows how something works, you’re not indispensable—you’re a bottleneck.”
“Leadership isn’t proven by how well you perform. It’s proven by how well your team performs without you.”
“Rank gives authority. Trust gives influence. Only one of those lasts.”
“Senior leaders don’t need to know everything—but they must ensure everything is knowable.”
“You haven’t trained your team until they can succeed without you in the room.”
