Episode 277: Navy SEAL Chris Fussell on how great leaders build a team

Guest Name(s): Chris Fussell

One thing that can be learned working with someone as well-respected as General Stanley McChrystal would without question be great leadership ability. That’s something that Chris Fussell has learned as a partner of The McChrystal Group, heading their Leadership Institute, as well as from his experience prior to that as a Navy SEAL with 15 years of service under his belt. It was an honor having Chris join Jason Delgado and myself in studio for this episode as we discuss his time in the teams, and crucial leadership attributes. His latest book, “One Mission: How Leaders Build a Team of Teams” gets into all of this at length. We even get to hear from someone who knows General McChrystal closely enough to find out if his daily regimen is as badass as we often hear. Jason also answers your questions sent to [email protected]

This was a great listen! As a recent military retiree I found the static seminar shoved down our throats upon stepping out the door didn't quite hit the mark. I wish the message and delivery of this message were available in that forum; might have saved some heartache in my transition. I appreciate the work you all do, keep it up!

Awesome, I don't think it can be stressed enough that Vets can still contribute and have transferable skills as well as still can make a difference. Not just traditional routs but through constructive interaction. Glad that my ? made it on, appreciate your work Ian. It's cool that Jason had a good experience with 338 Lapua and Sako. I share his attitude toward dancers as well. Especially the way he distinguishes them for future follow on missions. I had the TRG42, loved it but had to sell it due to med sep looking forward to the next SOFREP Radio shows. Stay safe y'all. Semper Fi.
