Leading Authorities’ recently hosted a Leadership Lunch with Admiral Eric Olson, a four-star navy SEAL admiral and the former commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). Olson addressed building, training, and leading highly effective teams.
Drawing from “The World at Night,” Admiral Olson shared his observations of emerging global geopolitical challenges and what they mean to us. He also used personal vignettes to present valuable insights on character, team building, and thinking forward.
The most respected military units in the world are United States special operations forces - Navy SEALS, Army Rangers, Green Berets, specialized aircrews, and other elite commandos. These forces have deployed worldwide to conduct some of the most notable military operations of the last decade, the raid on Osama bin Laden prominent among them.
The man responsible for preparing these forces for their broad array of missions was Admiral Eric Olson, who recently retired as the commander of the United States Special Operations Command. A Navy SEAL himself, and the first ever promoted to four-star rank, Admiral Olson's remarkable career gave him unique experiences and perspectives of true value to anyone who wants to build high-performing teams.
