#50 - Kyle Buckett

We are joined by Kyle Buckett, a retired US Navy SEAL and a leadership expert.  Kyle spent over 20 years in the US Navy and led the advanced training for both junior and seasoned Navy SEALs.  Kyle is the Cofounder of "Culture Force" and is the co-author of the incredible book, "Leadership is Overrated:  How the Navy SEALs Create Self-Leading Teams that win"?  

During our "CSI Chat" with Kyle, we talk about:

• Kyle talks about the process of going through "Hell Week", one of the most difficult elements of the famous US Navy SEAL’s training program, during the "Winter Season".  Surviving "Hell Week" with water temperatures approaching "freezing" requires a level of "mental strength" which is off the charts.  
• Chapter 1 in Kyle's book is entitled "Kill the leader...".  Kyle explains how every organization needs to be able to survive without the leader and how to build a team that can sustain this drastic change.  
• Kyle outlines how to build a culture within an organization that can produce at a high level.  Kyle outlines the importance of "decentralization", how leaders conduct themselves and the need for "rituals".

I hope everyone enjoys our Chat with Kyle!
