How to Build High-Performing Teams that Operates Like the Navy SEALs
If you are in business and have a team, no matter how large or how small, we ultimately want a High-performing team.
But have a high-performing team does not happen overnight. And it requires a kind of leadership that quite frankly is not so common in the work place.
So, where do you look to find the best, high-performing teams? Perhaps one of the best places to look are the Navy SEALs.
One of the elite forces of our military, the Navy SEALs, provide us a tremendous example of how a high-performing team functions under some of the greatest pressure.
What if you could apply their principles to your business?
Well, dream no more! Because in this episode of A New Direction U.S. Navy SEAL, Senior Chief RET, William Branum joins us to help you build a high-performing team, from his co-authored book “Mission Ready”
William Branum and Brenda Neckvatal’s book, “Mission Ready: Building High-Performing Teams from the Battlefield to the Boardroom” is an eye-opening look at how Navy SEAL teams operate and how you can operate your business using their principles.
The first half of the book Navy SEAL William Branum takes us into a Navy SEAL gunfight and then compares the principles in the gunfight to the fight you face in your business.
One of the main principles is SHOOT, MOVE, and COMMUNICATE. While those principles appear to be straight forward, what you quickly learn is you cannot be just good at one of them to be successful you must be good at all three.
To SHOOT in business is something we commonly do. Taking care of this priority, putting out this fire, handling this issue or problem. But sometimes we can get so stuck shooting we don’t move.
But to MOVE is so important because we quickly realize if you stay in the same place to long…you will die. We have to continually MOVE so we can out maneuver our opponent (whatever that may be) so that we can win.
Finally, COMMUNICATE. How often do we have a team meeting telling people what we want them to do and then end the meeting. That’s not communication. In fact, as William describes, to COMMUNICATE means there is a response. Does your team really understand what you are asking? Never assume.
The book future explores some amazing topics, like “Leaders Don’t Get Bullets”, “Decentralizing Control and Command, the OODA loop and more.
Great book for every member of your business. But if you want to lead a team like the Navy SEALs, we all have work to do, and it starts with discipline and consistency. Time to get Mission Ready.
