A leadership book by former Navy SEAL and New York Times bestselling author Mark Divine, Staring Down the Wolf focuses on harnessing the principles of purpose and discipline in life to achieve success.

What does it take to command a team of elite individuals?

It requires a commitment to seven key principles: Courage, Trust, Respect, Growth, Excellence, Resiliency, and Alignment. All of these are present in an elite team which commits to them deeply in order to forge the character worthy of uncommon success.

Retired Navy SEAL Commander, entrepreneur and New York Times bestselling author Mark Divine (founder of SEALFIT, NavySeal.com, and Unbeatable Mind) reveals what makes the culture of an elite team, and how to get your own team to commit to serve at an elite level. Using principles he learned on the battlefield, training SEALs, and in his own entrepreneurial and growth company ventures, Mark knows what it is to lead elite teams, and how easily the team can fail by breaching these commitments.

Elite teams challenge themselves to step up everyday to do the uncommon. Developing the principles yourself and aligning your team around these commitments will allow you to thrive in VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity) environments, no matter your background or leadership experience.

Drawing from his twenty years leading SEALs, and twenty five years of success and failure in entrepreneurship and ten years coaching corporate clients, Mark Divine shares a very unique perspective that will allow you to unlock the tremendous power of your team.

"Mark Divine is one of my favorite writers on leadership and mental and physical wellness."-- Ryan Holiday, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ego is the Enemy

“Mark Divine provides a valuable resource on what every leader should know, embrace and practice if they want to be successful in the most meaningful way.”--Larry King, Broadcast Legend

A definite eye opener.

I will be applying these techniques to build a better team and not to be complacent in any situation even if it's been repetitive work. Very good book will highly recommend

TRUE WARRIOR LEADER

I cannot recommend this enough. Mark is an extraordinary leader...this book is a new kind of leadership book.
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon

amazing book for elite teams

If you are someone who is seeking team support and are tired of the same old advice, I encourage you to read this book and give the exercises a chance.

Accountability

it reminds me of the pyramid of success, building on each block.thought it was great how humble the Author seemed to be.

absolutely solid!

once again, Mark brings uncommon wisdom to us. this book, and much of Mark's work is different from many of the seals that we get a chance to hear from. Mark calls us to look inward, stating that growth should be above achievement. I think that's exactly right. this is definitely a book I'll be recommending.
