The "Seals" team has an unparalleled understanding of leadership skills. The language of this book is concise and fluent, revealing the success principles of war and business. Read this book and then go out to win. In the business context following the Enron collapse, how can you build and maintain a successful, independent-minded team? The secrets of the Navy SEALs' success may hold the solution. The Navy SEALs, renowned for their highly efficient teamwork, strictly manage their teams based on teamwork. Each team member overcomes obstacles with their unique skills—for themselves and the team. Never has a team member been abandoned; this is one of the central organizing principles of this unit. "The SEAL Team" writes, "The unstoppable combat power and effectiveness of the SEALs stem from the fact that we always start with the basics and put them into practice. The team is the driving force toward success, not swayed by pride, conservatism, or selfishness." "The SEAL Team" is written for business professionals who hope to succeed in today's fiery business environment. The author uses his experience as a veteran of the SEALs to guide readers in understanding how leaders can play a role in building a well-organized, competent, and resourceful team of professionals, enabling them to work creatively and achieve goals. "For some people, leadership, for example, means making subordinates blindly obey orders. Forcing others to do as you command and calling yourself a 'leader' is a misunderstanding." The world considers SEAL members to be the elite of the elite. Since their founding as Navy Combat Demolition Units in World War II, only 8,000 people have been accepted into this elite team. Through a unique team assessment process, the evaluation of personal performance related to team goals and achievements, and the continuous review of lessons learned from each mission, these individuals have gained and maintained their combat effectiveness.
