FIRST CONTACT
A framework for making clear decisions when pressure rises
When a plan fails and pressure rises, leadership teams don't fail because people are incompetent. They fail because pressure changes how people think. First Contact introduces a decision-making framework drawn from three decades in the highest-pressure environments on earth.
Through a real story from behind enemy lines and practical exercises for the room, Tim draws on his experience leading special forces teams in combat to help leadership teams slow down when instinct is saying speed up, see the full picture when information is incomplete, and commit to a direction that their team can follow.
