Navy Seals ~ Models For Success

Navy Seals ~ Models For Success.

American captain Richard Phillips was taken hostage then freed from Somali pirates after they were persuaded by a Navy Seal.

Well, only one was persuaded, the others were killed by the Seal Team Snipers.

Special Ops are a great group to model success by. They have things in place that once set in motion have a very high percentage rate of success.

You can use this model in business, your career or day to day living.

Let’s look at it.

1 They have an objective. They know what the mission is before they start.

2 They work as a team and back each other up.

3 They sharpen their skills daily. (Stephen Covey – they sharpen the saw.)

4 They always have a contingency plan. Expect the unexpected.

5 They risk.

6 They commit.

7 They take action.

8 They never give up until the mission is complete.

9 They serve others. And aren’t we lucky.

Then after they reach the goal or complete the mission they go back and work on 2. 3. & 9.

This is only a broad scope, but you can see why they are successful at what they do.

I almost forgot one very important step.

*They gather as much information (intelligence) as possible before the mission starts and as the mission continues. This helps them adjust their approach if needed.
