According to a retired commander who ran training for Navy SEALs, true optimal performance goes beyond just skill.

Diviney was often surprised by which candidates washed out and which succeeded. Some could have all the right skills and still fail, while others he might have initially dismissed would prove to be top performers. The seemingly objective criteria weren't telling him what he most needed to know: Who would succeed in one of the world's toughest military assignments? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is similarly hard to predict success in the real world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt happens often enough that underdog students accomplish exceptional achievements while highly skilled, motivated employees fail to meet expectations. Dark-horse companies pull away from the pack while dream teams flush with talent and capital go under. In working with and selecting top special operators for decades, Diviney saw that beneath obvious skills are hidden drivers of performance, surprising core attributes--including \u003cb\u003ecunning\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eadaptability\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003ecourage\u003c\/b\u003e, even \u003cb\u003enarcissism\u003c\/b\u003e--that determine how \u003cb\u003eresilient\u003c\/b\u003e or \u003cb\u003eperseverant\u003c\/b\u003e we are, how \u003cb\u003esituationally aware\u003c\/b\u003e and how \u003cb\u003econscientious\u003c\/b\u003e. These attributes explain how we perform as individuals and as part of a team. The same methodology that Diviney used in the military can be applied by anyone in their personal and professional lives, and understanding these attributes can allow readers and their teams to perform optimally, at any time, in any situation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDiviney defines the core attributes in fresh and practical ways and shares stories from the military, business, sports, relationships, and even parenting to show how understanding your own attributes and those of the people around you can create optimal performance in all areas of your life.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRich Diviney\u003c\/b\u003e is a retired Navy SEAL commander. In a career spanning more than twenty years, he completed more than thirteen overseas deployments--eleven of which were to Iraq and Afghanistan. As the officer in charge of training for a specialized command, Diviney spearheaded the creation of a directorate that fused physical, mental, and emotional disciplines. He led his small team to create the first-ever \"Mind Gym\" that helped special operators train their brains to perform faster, longer, and better in all environments--especially high-stress ones. Since his retirement in early 2017, Diviney has worked as a speaker, facilitator, and consultant with the Chapman \u0026amp; Co. Leadership Institute and Simon Sinek Inc. He's taught leadership and optimal performance to more than five thousand business, athletic, and military leaders from organizations such as American Airlines, Meijer Inc., the San Francisco 49ers, Pegasystems, Zoom, and Deloitte.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 8.2 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 26, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769061245216,"sku":"9780593133941","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/c8e0a3c131439228007c390df85e3d31.webp?v=1780341692","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-attributes-25-hidden-drivers-of-optimal-performance-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
