Lessons business leaders can learn about creating workplace teams that execute and perform at high levels, much like the Navy Seals. The story about the Navy Seals raid to get Osama bin Laden is a great case study for business leaders to model to create high-performing teams in the workplace.

True, Skip.

In addition to having to be totally purpose (or goal) focused, each team member is a virtual "one man army" - trained to survive & complete any mission using their own initiative. They're the real "Impossible Missions Force", the real "MacGuyvers". The stakes - just possibly the free world remaining free.

Duncan,

I also think it is remarkable with a mission of this complexity that not a single SEAL was killed or seriously injured. Even with phenomenal training something always goes a little bit wrong. This simply was not the case. This will go down in the annals of military history, rightfully so and it is a testament to the skill and training of the American Armed Forces.

MacGuyver? We all know he could have pulled it off single-handedly, yes, with a spool of thread, a diaper-pin, some chewed-up bubble-gum and a straw :)

Man I loved that show!

Great job Skip! Very inspirational! Over in this neck of the woods, we have our own chapter of success: Entebbe! It is amazing how a flawless mission can invigorate a nation. Though at Entebbe it was almost flawless, one commando died: Capt. Yoni Netanyahu, Benjamin's little brother.
