JP Dinnell is a veteran of three combat deployments in the Global War on Terror. Most notably, he served with Seal Team 3 Task Unit Bruiser in the Battle of Ramadi as a sniper, working right next to the world’s most famous sniper, Chris Kyle. Kyle was in Charlie Platoon, and JP was in Delta Platoon. JP has been featured on the Jocko Podcast and he now works with Jocko Willink as the Director of Tactical Training Programs at Echelon Front, a leadership and management consulting company.
In this episode:
- What it’s like to work for a strong leader like Jocko, and what he taught him about war.
- How leadership begins with the lowest man on the totem pole.
- His struggle to find purpose after an injury sidelined him from a deployment he’d been looking forward to, and how training the new generation became his new mission.
- A great story about boot camp that emphasizes the never quit attitude that the SEALs are famous for, and that we need to being adopting in law enforcement.
- How leadership and ownership are not just reactive actions but also proactive and aggressive strategies.
You’ve got to listen to hear JP’s appreciation for the work the men and women in law enforcement do everyday. He knows how tough it is, and he has immediate family who hold their place on the thin blue line.
JP will be participating in Jocko’s Roll Call on September 21, 2018 in Dallas, TX. It’s a one-day event specifically for first responders and military personnel.
