Resilience, Humor, & Trust. How Great Teams Are Formed | with retired Navy SEAL commander Rich Diviney Building a high-performing team is of the utmost importance to a Navy SEAL commander, which Rich Diviney knows firsthand from his experience in that role. Since retiring, Rich has taken what he learned and discovered as a SEAL commander and is sharing it with the world. So, what's the DNA of successful teams, and how can you build them in your world? Rich joined our host, Willy Walker, on the latest Walker Webcast to discuss high performance team building and management, the difference between a skill and an attribute, how to test for attributes, the importance of aerobic thinking, and more. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Rich wakes up every day to discover, inspire, and accelerate the potential of human beings. His deeply held belief is that each individual has unlimited potential that, once unlocked, can lead to not only living the life of one's purpose and dreams –but also allow for inspirational contribution to others. This potential often goes untapped due to a lack of understanding and resources from which to draw upon. As a Director of Outreach for the Barry-Wehmiller Leadership Institute, Rich draws upon 20+ years of experience as a Navy SEAL Officer where he completed more than 13 overseas deployments – 11 of which were to Iraq and Afghanistan. Through his career, he has achieved multiple leadership positions– to include the Commanding Officer of a Navy SEAL Command. It has been this experience that has forged in his belief system that every human being has a purpose – and why Bob Chapman's “Everybody Matters” philosophy resonates so deeply.

My guest on this episode of #SellingWithSocial shares the stats to prove it. After a 12-year leadership journey in the sports business industry, Paul Epstein joined the Barry-Wehmiller Leadership Institute because he was inspired by the partnership that BWLI and the San Francisco 49ers shared during his time as an executive leader with the NFL franchise. In his new role with BWLI, Paul is charged with forming new partnerships worldwide with a mission to transform the cultural landscape of business. See what I mean? Developing a winning culture in organizations is one of Paul’s main areas of expertise. In this conversation, Paul shares many of his insights about what it takes to build a sales culture that starts with a clear purpose, leads to an environment of accountability and trust, and results in a resilient and powerful team of professionals who are able to close sales and further the goals of their company and their clients. As Paul shares his simple steps to developing a sales culture that wins, don’t make the mistake of thinking that simple means quick and easy.

They simply want to produce business outcomes that impact the bottom line. But Paul says that if they want their sales culture to produce intentional business outcomes, they can’t allow their discomfort with softs skills having to with culture to dissuade them from addressing the issue, because success rises and falls on it. Trust is the first step. The team must trust their leaders - to move the team forward competently but also to care for them and their professional development as team members. That kind of trust is built in a variety of ways, such as including the team in strategy and planning, soliciting feedback from the team and making incremental changes based on it. Paul speaks to these topics in-depth during our conversation and highlights many other components of building trust that lead to the intentional business outcomes leaders are looking for. Don’t miss it! Bad Culture + Bad Leadership = Bad Performance If you are confused about the idea of culture, let Paul simplify it for you: Culture is the sum total of all the behaviors within your organization. Out of that culture, your company strategy immerges. Therefore, it is a vitally important foundation that you can’t ignore or leave to chance. What is the number one driver of culture? Leaders. But here’s the problem: 58% of leaders have never had any kind of formal leadership training. That means many companies have people in positions of leadership who are figuring it out as they go - and often, culture is the casualty of their on-the-job training. If you see that this culture problem exists in your sales organization and want to address it effectively, Paul is the guy to listen to. His experience as an executive leader as well as his role as a values-driven-culture-builder with BWLI have taught him what goes into making leadership serve culture, with the goal of improving company-wide performance. Don't miss his insights. Simple Steps To Creating A Winning Sales Culture During our conversation, Paul shared a number of things leaders can do to develop a healthy culture company-wide and among their sales team. Here are some of the highlights... #1 - The goal and the purpose of your organization have to be clearly defined. If you’re trying to win the sales game, you need everyone on the team to understand and get behind the purpose of the company. But the harsh reality is that only 38% of employees report that they are aligned with their company’s purpose. Worse yet, 50% of them can’t even state what their company’s purpose is. A winning sales culture begins with clarity around why you are doing what you are doing as a team. #2 - Engage your team in creating your strategy. The people in the trenches - your sales and marketing teams - are the one who know what is working and what isn’t. They have an incredible amount of insight into what the company could improve, what it should stop doing, and how to better reach and serve customers. Who better to include in the development of your sales playbook? But how do you do it? #3 - Create a system of open feedback. Great leaders solicit honest feedback for the sake of improvement, without negative repercussions for doing so. It utilizes the gifts, talents, and insights of team members to a higher degree and as small changes are made as a result. What do you think that does for overall company and sales culture? When you start with purpose, build a culture of cooperation and accountability, and iterate based on the feedback you receive, you build a culture of high trust - a culture of resiliency that retains team members and grows in its ability to impact the outcomes you deliver to customers. That’s when you have the potential to go through transformational culture change.
