Episode 52 – Lessons Learned from Elite Unit Selection Processes – John Dowd
Introduction
My guest today is John Dowd. John is a former Navy SEAL who 15 years ago started SOFware, LLC—a company that develops software and consults with elite units in their assessment and selection processes. John and his team work with many of the world’s most elite units, assisting them not only in choosing the right people but also in developing those individuals throughout their careers. John’s views on selection, and the lessons learned by his team over the past 15 years, provide extremely valuable insight for any team looking to improve how they evaluate and select personnel.
