Navy Seals Lessons Learnt

Navy Seals talk

Standards: is about a minimum not average, we must keep improving. Set minimum standards for ourselves and then keep improving. What are my standards? Exercise 3x per week?

Team: Good teams look out for one another, a team is about covering others' back. Cannot undermine one another. Brotherhood. Same as family. Trust. Seal story: comrade was sent to setup base 10,000 feet in the snow, ambushed by enemies. Seals went to get his body back at all cost, spent more lives and resources and 24 hours just to get one body back. This is what it meant by brotherhood, covering others' back.

Flow: need to know our zone. Be at our zone more and more often, 10% to 20% to 50%. Observe. Why we are not in zone? Why we are in zone. When we become super good. Why? Case in point: tried to skive, go Minami Haircut then scratch BMW. Not in the zone. Focus on task at hand, only do one thing at one time. Emails - super distractions.

Family: No more undermining. Be focused, keep doing things together. If on holiday, each doing own thing, family feuds. Be authentic, be real. People will feel your flow. Change the environment.

Toxic people: Create the culture to change their behaviour. Change the environment and make it unacceptable for them to be toxic.
