Unstoppable Teams: The Four Essential Actions of High-Performance Leadership

Alden Mills, a three-time navy SEAL platoon commander and the founder of perfect fitness, reveals how to put together teams that can accomplish any objective—by leveraging a set of values and priorities from unexpected resources.

SEALs and teams of civilians operate in extremely different environments, but what makes each group excel are the same things: service to others, trust, empathy, and a caring environment. Through his experience in both the military and the private sector, Mills has seen firsthand what it takes to lead an unstoppable team of individuals.

Too many people mistake groups of individuals for a team, but teams are a series of interconnected relationships with a collective, single-minded focus. Success almost never depends on individual talent and valor.
