What enables some teams to achieve incredible results under intense pressure, while others flounder? Retired Navy SEAL Commander Kyle Bucket and business leader Chris Mefford have seen extraordinary teams accomplish the near impossible across military, government, nonprofit, and corporate worlds.

In this episode, Chris and Kyle decode the key practices that set elite teams apart. Drawing from experience leading special operations and guiding thriving corporate cultures, they explain the flaws in most organizations' assumptions about leadership, motivation, and culture – and why traditional management tactics often backfire.

Instead, Chris and Kyle advocate for "self-led teams" built on peer leadership, radical transparency about weaknesses, and candid feedback. They outline six practical steps any leader or manager can start taking to unlock greater alignment, innovation, ownership and fulfillment from groups.

You'll learn:

• Why investing in recognition, community and purpose pays exponentially higher dividends than incentivizing individual performance

• How humility and "emotional capital" from senior leaders create psychological safety for teams to take ownership

• Why elite military units and thriving business teams often defer to junior members rather than the highest-ranking officers

Gain unconventional yet evidence-based insights from Chris and Kyle on how to strengthen team cohesion, agility, and fulfillment in your organization. The results can be record-breaking.
