“It is such a good opportunity when you have a weak leader above you.  Don’t get all downtrodden because your leader doesn’t motivate you.  Motivate yourself!  Take charge of things.  Take advantage of it.  Make things happen.  It’s awesome to have a weak leader.  I love it.  I get after it.  It give me so much more mobility in my job.  If I have a strong leader, obviously, that’s great too.  But a weak leader is a no factor.  Step up and take advantage of it.  Step up and lead.” ~ Jocko Willink, Extreme Ownership (Page 303)
