Principled Behavior
When we look deep inside successful people, organizations, or companies, we can usually find they share many similarities. Not only do they have areas where they struggle continuously, they also have areas where they shine.

Principled Behavior
Most agencies or organizations have an official "Mission, Vision, and Values" statement. Even the U.S. Military trains it's officers to develop a personal mission and values statement. While most successful individuals do not have these things written down, it's usually clear they hold certain values and a clear mission. It's what drives them and guides their behavior. At Tactical Choice Training we call these things Tactical Traits.

Struggles and Setbacks
Every agency, organization, and individual is sure to have setbacks. For individuals, we've broken those setbacks into five general areas. Jumping to Conclusions, Blaming Others, Assuming the Worst, Minimizing, and Selfishness. We call these Tactical Traps. If left unchecked, they are quite capable of overshadowing even the best of intentions.
