Navy SEAL Jocko Willink on how to collaborate effectively across teams - Business Insider

He said that effective cross-team collaboration comes from subordinating your ego, which entails a degree of give-and-take with leaders of the other teams. If their idea is satisfactory, he said, it is better to agree to it than quibble. That will also make them more open to your own ideas.Jocko Willink is the retired commander of the most highly decorated American special operations unit that served in the Iraq War.

Willink shared with us the tactics he and his SEALs used with Army soldiers and Marines, where being on the same page meant life or death.Willink and his task unit won the brutal Second Battle of Ramadi, which lasted from March to November 2006. The Americans worked with Iraqi security forces, and Willink and his fellow US commanders often worked across branches to develop battle plans.

Of course, Willink wasn't going in ready to accept a proposal that wouldn't work for him and his men, he said. But by going in and signaling that he would not be defensive, Willink said, he inspired the soldiers and Marines to be more open to accommodating to him and his SEALs when they pushed back on particular ideas.

Willink told us that when someone from the other side offered their idea and it was good enough — maybe not how he would prefer to do it — he would agree to it. It's much easier and efficient than debating small details that will have a minimal impact on performance. "And by the way, once you do that and they see that you have an open mind, they're going to be open to your ideas," he said.
