Cultivate an adaptable leadership identity

As a combat-decorated Navy SEAL Marty Strong is no stranger to highly motivated teams. When he transitioned into business leadership, Marty saw a major contrast from battlefield to boardroom around training and motivation. From being shocked at how employees were treated, to the lack of a common vision and under-investment in training and skills development, Marty has brought his SEAL’s sensibilities to a leadership model that creates resilient teams with harmony at their heart. Marty shares his insights not just into leadership but how people tick and why a community matters in times of conflict.

Why you should listen: It’s a leadership responsibility to strive for harmony

• Team development requires both an open mind and shared focus
• The big differences between corporate and military approach to teamwork
• Essential strategies to building team capabilities, SEAL style

We explore leadership principles for motivated teams
