So those kind of things, I think, get lost when it comes to communicating up and down the chain of command.

Yep.

I want to learn from you.

The way you do it is a little bit of trust at a time.

So if you started working for me, I wouldn't be like, hey, Sean, we got this op tonight.

Why don't you take lead on that?

I'm going to sit in the talk.

I've never worked with you before, and I'm just going to let you go take lead on a mission.

No, it's like, hey, Sean, we got this op tonight.

Can you run external security for me?

Or can you clear this back, you know, outhouse with your fire team?

And you're like, cool, got it, boss.

And you do it, you do it well.

And then the next time, hey, you're in charge of external security.

And the next time, hey, you're in charge of vehicles.

The next time, hey, you're in charge of the breach team.

So it's like, I'm going to give you a little more trust each time.

And then you keep making good calls.

Maybe sometimes I have to tighten you up.

Like, hey, what were you doing going to clear this other building that wasn't part of the target?
