Start with the correct mind set
It all starts with your mind set. In the Royal Marines we approach problems with the Commando Mindset
“Be the first to understand; the first to adapt and respond; and the first to overcome”
Next comes the values
The Commando Values are:
- Excellence. Strive to do better.
- Integrity. Tell the truth.
- Self-Discipline. Resist the easy option.
- Humility. respect the rights, diversity & contribution of others
Finally in the Royal Marines we have the Commando Spirit
- Courage. Get out front and do what is right.
- Determination. Never give up.
- Unselfishness. Oppo first; Team second; Self last.
- Cheerfulness. Make humour the heart of morale
By following this approach individually and collectively it is possible to build a cohesive team.
