About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Learn the secret to being the best.
During his 20 years as a Navy SEAL, Commander Rich Diviney was intimately involved in the world-renowned SEAL selection process, which whittles exceptional candidates down to a small cadre of the most elite optimal performers. But Diviney was often surprised by which recruits washed out and which succeeded. Someone could have all the right skills and still fail, while recruits he might have initially dismissed would prove to be top performers. The seemingly objective criteria weren't telling him what he most needed to know: who could be part of the world's most elite military unit?
Eventually, he cracked the code. Through years of observation, Diviney learned to identify a successful recruit's core attributes, the innate traits for how a person performs as an individual and as part of a team. That same methodology can be used by anyone in their personal or professional lives.
In this book the key attributes for success - including cunning, adaptability, even narcissism - are defined in fresh and surprising ways and Diviney shows how they can be applied to a team as readily as a person. Understanding your own attributes and those of the people around you can fast-track optimal performance in all areas of your life.

Finally, a leadership book that makes sense!
Thanks Rich for creating this work on what it really is to be human, operate in a team and, at the right times, be a leader. The way you’ve brought science and it’s application into such an insightful, practical and compelling story is brilliant. You’ve also created the surveys and workbooks that have made this a very personal experience. I’ve shared this with many colleagues and started hiring people based on their and the teams attributes in order to get the right pallet for optimal performance. Thanks again!

Loved this, a must read/listen in my opinion
I would love to interview Rich, there were so many wonderful insights into human attributes through this book, and many more I felt could be explored even further in a second book or further conversations. Particularly important reading I feel for anyone who is a sportsperson, business person or even a parent! It would do kids a great justice to have books like this a part of the school curriculum at senior English level rather than the "classics" they are so out of touch with. I feel this is the content kids desire without knowing, and so too for many adults. Learn and enjoy the content and insights as I did and will do so again as I listen again.
