Alden Mills

Three-time Navy SEAL platoon commander and founder of Perfect Fitness reveals how to put together Unstoppable Teams that can accomplish any objective.

SEALs and civilians operate in extremely different environments, but what makes both kinds of teams excel comes down to the same thing: service to others, trust, empathy, and a caring environment. Working in both the military and the private sector, Alden Mills has seen firsthand what it takes to lead an unstoppable team of individuals.

Teams are nothing more than interconnected relationships with a collective, single-minded focus. Success almost never depends on individual talent and valor; instead, Mills shows, it depends, first, on creating a strong foundation for yourself and, second, using that foundation to help others go beyond their individual pursuits and talents to create something bigger and better—an unstoppable team.

Unstoppable Teams show managers at every level how to inspire, motivate, and lead the people around them through such team-building lessons as:

* Too many people mistake groups of individuals for a team.

* People all have the same motivational genetic drivers—our will to survive, our ego-driven desire for personal gain, and our soul-driven yearning to be a part of something greater than ourselves.

* By overriding our fears about survival, we can focus on our desire to thrive.

* The more you care for your teammates, the more they will dare for the team.

* Great ideas are not reserved for a select few—true teams embrace diversity of thought.

Unstoppable Teams is the handbook for how to build care-based teams that will push people to achieve more than they ever thought possible.
