The US Special Operations Forces community is arguably one of the most adaptable, efficient, and effective organizations on the planet today, and it’s because it prioritizes one thing above all else: talent.
Believe it or not, there are lessons learned in special operations directly applicable to the outside world. No, not the “pinky death touch” to use on your neighbor, but rather the timeless principles of performance that define what “right” looks like.
In the new book The Art of Risk, journalist Kayt Sukel talks to several people who have mastered their particular strategy to success.

This article explores a simple methodology that transformed both technology development and modern warfare. The Agile methodology has striking parallels to the methods employed by US Special Operation Forces (“SOF”). This article reflects on these parallels and how they can be leveraged to succeed in our complex and dynamic global economy.
The U.S. military’s elite training programs offer a model for the strategic deployment of human capital and for building effective teams.
I was scared a lot during my 23 years as a fighter pilot and forward air controller in the Marine Corps.
Joining the U.S. Army Special Forces involves more than elite combat training. The Green Berets specialize in unconventional warfare — i.e. working with guerrillas to overthrow governments — as well as counterterrorism, foreign internal defense, and special reconnaissance.
We’d love to learn more about you, your team, and your challenges.
