01
SET THE STANDARD
People take their cue from what you demonstrate. Your preparation, discipline, consistency and behavior establish the standard for those around you.
02
FOCUS ON THE MISSION
Know what needs to be achieved, prioritize what matters and don’t allow distraction, problems, changes or pressure to pull you away from the objective.
03
READ THE ENVIORNMENT
Read people, behavior, and dynamics. Recognize when something changes, something is wrong, and understand the problem before deciding how to respond.
04
BUILD COHESION
Trust, respect, communication and shared standards create stronger teams capable of performing when pressure rises. Building cohesion is key for mission success.
05
COMMUNICATE
Make sure the message is understood. Speak directly, listen properly, ask the difficult questions and never assume that because something was said, it was understood.
06
MAKE THE DECISION
You won’t always have perfect information. Assess what you know, understand the consequences, seek counsel when needed — then make the decision and own it.
07
ANTICIPATE & ADAPT
Think ahead always and consider what could happen next. Prepare for change and adapt the plan when circumstances shift without losing sight of the objective.
08
STAY COMPOSED
Control your response when pressure rises.
Manage emotion, remain clear-headed and create the space to think, communicate and act effectively.
