5 Biggest Takeaways from the Operator Candidates

Welcome to the Insight Thru Experience Podcast. In this episode, we pulled some of the most pertinent feedback items we pulled from the Days 1-5 selection videos we posted earlier.

The intent behind this episode is to give the audience the five biggest takeaways that we garnered from the candidates to help increase the performance of not only future candidates here, but also across the military and civilian sectors as well.

Takeaways:

1. During problem-solving, leaders need to establish a proper planning structure, set clear intent, and get out of the way.

2. Sleep deprivation will be a huge obstacle during the process.

3. Use the Cognitive Performance Manual on our website to increase your cognitive capacity before you get here. (Link to manual below)

4. Build a strong "why" statement before you get here.

5. Get better at solving novel problems.
