Free Weekly Leadership Newsletter: https://engage.echelonfront.com/Rundown

How do you build a relationship with someone you really don’t like—but still have to work with to accomplish the mission?

In this episode of the Lead.WIN. Podcast, Leif and Jamie break down one of the most common leadership questions we get from every industry:

👉 “How do I build a relationship with someone who rubs me the wrong way?”

Using real stories from the SEAL Teams, corporate clients, and their own lives, they show why the problem isn’t just the “difficult person” on the other side… it’s two egos colliding. And more importantly, what you can actually do about it.

You’ll learn:

Why a bad relationship with your boss, peer, or inspector is hurting your team more than you think
How to check your ego and stop “drinking the haterade”
The Extreme Ownership framework for relationships: Trust – Listen – Respect – Influence – Care
Practical steps to repair frictional relationships (even when there’s history and emotion)
How to stop assigning sinister intent and start building alignment around the mission
An Immediate Action Drill you can use this week to fix one relationship in your life

At the end, you’ll walk away with clear, tactical actions to build effective relationships—up, down, and across the chain of command—so you can lead and win.
