In the military world, simulating the enemy to test your responses is a well-known method to check up on a unit's readiness. In such simulations, your own friendly forces are the blue team, and those who play the adversaries are the red team. At the end of the day, it is the blue team’s dynamics that make the difference between mission success and failure. This is true for a fighter-jet formation on its way to destroying a Syrian nuclear reactor, and it’s true
for corporate managers and their team facing an unpredictable market. The blue team’s dynamics are what make the difference.
After identifying and isolating the three core command, leadership, and management principles – the DNA of blue team dynamics – over a process of several years, Yaakov Lappin
interviewed ten sources, senior and former members of the Israeli defense establishment, some with extensive civilian executive experience, who share how they have personally applied the three principles of the blue team dynamics system:
- The after-action review culture
- When and how to transition between routine and emergency modes
- How to manage long-term change
A triangle links these three pillars together. The ability to consistently learn from the past and stay relevant for the future makes navigating the present with success much more likely. The IDF sources who shared their powerful insights and stories in this book provide the ultimate insider’s view on the application of blue team dynamics for your team.
Yaakov Lappin is a military and strategic affairs analyst whose work appears in international media and defense think tanks. His previous book, Virtual Caliphate, explored global terrorism and digital warfare. In Blue Team Dynamics, Lappin fuses military insight with management strategy to provide a new model for leadership in an unpredictable world.
