Business Lessons From the U.S. Navy Seal 01. Meticulous Planning
They operate with a backup and contingency plan in place for almost every scenario, focusing on the importance of time management, on-target execution, and completing the mission.
Business Lessons From the U.S. Navy Seal 02. A Reliable Contingency Plan
Navy SEALs focus on a very clear set of objectives, where significant importance is placed on defining the goal and motivating the team to follow.
Even with highly complex operations, each SEAL has a clearly defined role, and expectations can be recited by each team member.
Business Lessons From the U.S. Navy Seal 03. Clear Expectations
The SEAL’s rules of engagement (how they respond when confronted) are clearly established before each mission, and modifying these rules could negatively impact the entire operation.

Business Lessons From the U.S. Navy Seal Navy Seal - Business Advices
Teamwork is our top priority:A mission cannot be successfully executed unless the team is
functioning as one.
Stay calm:The military trains its team to be more comfortable and calm
when taking risks.
Hard times help us to adapt:A soldier who goes through hard times recognizes that those
times will not only strengthen him, but truly train him to properly and successfully lead his own teams when battling
facing a battle.

Don’t back down from the sharks:Recruits are ordered not to back down when facing sharks in swimming exercises, but rather to punch them in the nose.
There are a lot of sharks in the world. If we’re going to succeed in life, we need to face our sharks.
Study Darwin:Survival is not about who’s the strongest or fastest, but who can
best adapt to change. Navy SEALs are masters of adaptation, being able to operate in jungle, desert, or artic conditions.
Business Lessons From the U.S. Navy Seal Navy Seal - Business Advices
Be your very best in the darkest moment: Part of SEAL training is to conduct attacks on enemy ships. This requires being deep under pitch black water while listening to
loud, distracting noises from the ship’s engines and systems. It’s very easy to get disoriented and fail. Every SEAL knows that when it’s darkest is the time when you need to be the most
calm, composed and focused.
Take smart risks:A SEAL is aware that his mission is bigger than any of his team
member. That also means taking smart risks and being willing to do so in support of the greater good.
