WHY USE WHO DARES WINS?

The world is moving faster, change occurs constantly, competition is fiercer, and the one constant that stands in your way to achieving what you want out of life, both personal and professional, is fear.  Special Forces Green Berets are not just ‘better’ warriors, they have been trained to conquer fear, dare to be different and achieve what others consider the impossible.  The A-Team is the most elite, flexible team in the world.  These concepts can help your team members and the team become more cohesive, have higher morale, and be more effective.  The goal is to put your people and team into the elite 5%.  The program is designed for small teams desiring to be the best and for individuals who want to excel.
                   
Wins: Specify what is to be achieved, why it needs to be done to increase morale and initiative, and how the environment helps and hinders you.

Who: Know yourself, your blind spot, how to effect real and lasting change and how to build courage to succeed beyond the norm.

Dares:  Take command, communicate effectively, break rules, and achieve unity.

9 Special ‘Forces’ in three areas that lead to a more successful and fulfilling life.

WINS

1. WHAT do you want to change and achieve? Write down each goal you want to achieve in one sentence. Check the verb in each sentence: and make sure it is a positive and something you control. Make sure the outcome of each goal is something that you can observe and know when you've achieved it.
 Check your goals for inherent conflict.(Special Forces Mission Statement)

2. WHY do you want to change and achieve your goals? Using your one-sentence goals, write down WHY you want to achieve each goal: ie I am doing this goal for this reason. Examine your WHY for options on how you can achieve the goal. Examine your WHY to set boundaries for your goal, so you don't go to extremes.  (Special Forces Commander's Intent)

3. WHERE will change occur? Examine your environment and see who and what will aid you in achieving your WHAT and changing. Figure out who and what are hindering you from achieving your WHAT and changing. Take steps to get rid of those distractions or negate them.  Research your WHAT (goals) and WHY (intent). (Special Forces Area Study)

WHO

4. Understand your CHARACTER. Character is your core personality, both positive and negative. Study your actions to determine your character and true nature.  Work on possessing the character traits of successful people. Understand that emotion is more powerful than intellect. Figure out your Character, both strengths and weaknesses, by profiling your habits and also by comparing yourself to character templates, such as profiling and the Myers-Briggs. (Special Forces Assessment & Selection)

5. What is CHANGE and how do you do it? Understand and implement the three steps:

One. Have a moment of enlightenment. 

Two. Make a decision.

Three. Implement sustained action.  (Special Forces Training)

6. How do you build the COURAGE to change? Look at the opposite character type of yours and see what you are afraid of doing, then force yourself to do that. Expand your Comfort Zone by repeatedly venturing into your Courage Zone. Catastrophe plan the various aspects of your life, predicting what the worst case scenario would be, and then be ready to face it and thus increase your focus on succeeding.  (Special Forces CARVER & E&E formulas)

DARES

7. COMMUNICATE your change to the world.The purpose of communication is to evoke a desired response.
Writing things down makes them real and delineates responsibility.Read and listen carefully to get the true message being communicated by others. (Special Forces Standing Operating Procedures)

8. Take COMMAND of your change. You are responsible everything you say and do. You must have honesty and integrity as part of your personal leadership traits.  (Special Forces style of Leadership)

9. COMPLETE the Circle of Success and change. Integrate and align the previous eight tools. Use the three rules of rule-breaking to break out of the mundane and become successful: One: Know the rule. Two: Have a good reason for breaking the rule. Three:  Take responsibility for breaking the rule.  Pull it all together using Special Forces Evaluation.
