In a groundbreaking, narrative-driven book for businesses, managers (and those who aspire to the managerial ranks), and entrepreneurs, a veteran Navy SEAL Chief Petty Officer shows how the skills that enable SEAL teams to achieve the impossible in the battlefield can help business executives and career-minded individuals make better decisions and get the best out of their teams. Anyone can make good decisions when everything is in their favor. But in life, as in war, it’s in chaotic, challenging times that genuine leaders distinguish themselves. As a Navy SEAL Chief Petty Officer, Rob Roy learned this lesson over twenty-five years of combat, in which the difference between life and death was his team’s ability to decode complex environments, take decisive action, and seize opportunities when they presented themselves. In The Navy SEAL Art of War, Roy decodes the leadership lessons of the battlefield for today’s business leaders and individuals: how to make good decisions under pressure, how to utilize and leverage the strengths of others while minimizing the weaknesses of the individual or team, and how to act instead of react, anticipating events despite having minimal information and effectively communicating tasks and priorities. Illustrated with countless stories from the front lines, and featuring unprecedented exercises and drills from the SEALs’ training program, The Navy SEAL Art of War is destined to take its place aside It’s Your Ship as a bestselling business classic.

That maxim is especially true in what SEALs call close quarters battle, or CQB, where homes, hallways, alleys, and streets become war zones in the blink of an eye. For a CQB mission to be successful-like the 2011 bin Laden raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan-extensive planning and training are essential. Nowhere is a SEAL’s value as a living, breathing precision-guided munition more necessary. And when it goes right, whether planned or freelanced in real time on site, CQB is an amazing-almost Zen-like-experience to behold: armed frogmen flowing like water through a house or building, shooting, moving, and communicating in an exhilarating, effortless dance of death.Also known as close quarters defense or close quarters combat, CQB is one of the most difficult things a SEAL does. Something as intense as hand-to-hand fighting requires that an individual be honed to a razor’s edge so that actions aren’t debated or deliberated over, but are performed without hesitation. While meticulous planning is essential, successful missions like CQB always circle back to training. When you are well trained everything becomes instinctual. That’s the game changer. On a certain level, it’s no different than what a football or baseball player or emergency room doctor experiences
