017_Dave Cooper: A Navy Seals Who Swims Against the Current. Dave Cooper brings unique experiences to any conversation about leading. For twenty-five years, Dave was deployed to Bosnia, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq. It was on these battlefields that Dave learned to create the conditions for team effectiveness based on candid “after action reviews” that challenge all members of the team to reflect on the individual and team performance. His four favorite words: “I screwed that up.”

Not a guy to stand down, Dave has moved on to study complex human systems and the power of storytelling. His mission today is to help teams and organizations tell a better story to all stakeholders by having greater awareness of complex systems we work inside.
