The three-time SEAL team commander and founder of Perfect Fitness reveals how to assemble teams that can achieve any goal by leveraging an unexpected set of values and priorities. SEAL teams and civilians operate in vastly different environments, but what makes both types of teams excel is based on the same thing: service to others, trust, empathy, and a caring environment.
Alden Mills has experience in both the military and private sectors, as a SEAL team commander and as the founder of Perfect Fitness. He has seen firsthand what it takes to lead an unstoppable team of individuals. Teams are nothing more than a series of interconnected relationships with a collective, single-minded goal.
Success almost never depends on individual talent and value. Instead, Alden Mills shows us that it depends, first, on creating a solid foundation for yourself and, second, on how to use that foundation to help others surpass their individual pursuits and talents to create something greater and better—a team that is unstoppable.
Unstoppable Teams is intended for managers at all levels, in large and small organizations, including private, public, and non-profit sectors. Mills draws from stories from his own experiences to convey these remarkable lessons on building teams:
- Many people confuse groups of individuals with a team.
- No one is the same, but we all have the same genetic motivators— the will to survive, the desire for personal gain, and our deep need to become part of something larger than ourselves.
- When we bypass our fears of survival, we can focus on our desire to thrive.
- The more care you give to your teammates, the more they will dare for the team.
- Great ideas are not reserved for a few—the true teams embrace diversity of thought to find winning ideas.
These lessons are not exclusive to the Navy SEALs. They are used by successful entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, coaches, and team captains—and now you can acquire them too.
Unstoppable Teams is the handbook on how to create teams based on caring that will mobilize people to achieve more than they ever thought possible.
