What a Navy SEAL’s platoon has to do with building a great organization #Podcast #StanfordGSB

What does a Navy SEAL’s platoon have to do with building a great organization? On a new episode of the If/Then podcast from Stanford Graduate School of Business, Jonathan Berk, professor of finance, recalls asking a former SEAL which teammates he preferred: those who owned their mistakes and learned from them or those who denied them. “He looked at me like I was crazy,” Berk says. “Of course,” he told Berk, “I wanted the soldiers that admitted their mistakes.” His point: High-performing teams need accountability more than perfection.
