Leadership Lessons of the Navy Seals
The SEALs moved quietly along the main deck, around funnels and hoisting cranes, until they approached the pilothouse. One hatch on the pilothouse had not been welded shut, but it had been bolted on the inside. The SEALs surveyed the structure and then announced to whoever was inside that they were on board. They demanded that the hatch be opened. They were ignored.There was an outside chance that these were innocent civilian merchants; if they had not been, the SEALs would have blown through the walls immediately. Instead, they kept their weapons pointed toward the structure while they unpacked their manual cutting devices. The crew inside could be heard chattering nervously, but they still refused to open the door. In a few moments, their protests were irrelevant. They were in restraints. Their master was being questioned. The vessel had been stopped just short of Iranian waters. Soon, its contents would be offloaded and the hull would be auctioned off in Mombasa or Dubai
