After 27 years of study and global application, a new perspective on leadership needs to be unveiled to the world to create better teams, faster wins, and lower the costs of time and money. Today's leaders and managers ask the same old (& broken) questions of how much things will cost before finding a leader. The result is a semi-adequate end state that gets delivered late and over budget. The new way of looking at the same process re-shapes perspectives and allows us to think again, and succeed faster than ever before. Atlas helps proven leaders focus on who they are, who their teams are and who their mission serves by providing master-courses, books, and speeches designed to produce faster successes, retain talent, and attract high-value teammates.

After almost 3 decades of serving in the United States military’s most elite teams, Atlas outwardly states that he joined the profession of arms to study leaders. He now shares lessons from his notes and time in Special Operations, Conflict zones and White House communities – using stories. He’s helped thousands of leaders, held responsibility for billions of dollars, and has recorded hundreds of successes, innovation improvements, and team wins while leading people in over 30 countries.

His books have been featured on FOX, NBC, ABC and other major news outlets. He has contributed stories with lessons for multiple podcast hosts around the world. Atlas has five international best-selling books, holding bestseller status in US, Canada, UK, and Australia.
