The 13th Man - Into The Mind of A Green Beret
The 13th Man is a term used by Green Beret's that refers to a person who's only purpose is to objectively discuss mission objectives. In real world applications, this person could be a wife, a CEO at another business, really anyone that isn't on your team.
What are the benefits of having someone objectively discuss a scenario you're thinking about taking on?
Let's break it down:
When educators record their observations in an objective way, it means that they are making an effort to write down only what they have observed directly. - Infants & Toddlers website.
What does this tell us? That having an objective opinion can result in an unbiased response that will help you understand what that idea is to the world; how that scenario could actually play out. So, how does this benefit your objective? To elaborate, it's like trying hard vs. putting in the extra bit of effort; 100% vs. 110% effort. You need to cover you bases. Do your research, discuss with your team the scenario and get other peoples unbiased observations on what you're doing.
Personally, I like going with my gut, but reaching out to a business mentor, who I consider the 13th man, helps me gather more perspective. This person allows me to get complete on everything business related. It doesn't matter if he's an expert in what I'm doing; he's my 13th man and that means he'll be there to listen and give me objective responses / advice to what we're considering.
