Earlier today (7/11/25) on the

GLOBAL-TVtalkshow

I interviewed the Washington metro-based

RON COOPER

(The Cooper Culture)

on “being a leader, being precise and excellent, trust-worthy …and more”.


I asked ai Otter for a summary and suggestions:

Based on Ron Cooper’s insights,

here are key principles to leverage military teamwork in business:


Shared Values

Hire people who align with company values

Conduct thorough interviews to understand candidate’s core principles

Create a unified sense of purpose across the team

Precision and Planning

Develop detailed mission plans with clear objectives

Ensure every team member understands their specific role

Establish exact timelines and expectations

Trust and Psychological Safety

Create an environment where team members can openly discuss improvements

Complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses

Build mutual confidence in the team’s capabilities

Continuous Communication

Maintain open, transparent communication channels

Recognize and appreciate each team member’s contribution

Foster a culture of mutual respect and support

Goal Alignment

Clearly define company vision and goals

Ensure every team member understands how their work contributes to the larger mission

Cultivate a sense of collective achievement


The key is transforming military discipline into a collaborative, supportive business culture that prioritizes teamwork, precision, and shared purpose.

Working with others achieve their maximum potential through genuine relationships of care and mentoring. That is the story of our lives. We want to pass our experience forward.

We were each raised on a dairy farm. Marty in Indiana and Ron in Maryland.

The work ethic of working with each other achieve their goals (i.e., chores as assigned) as a team is part of our lifestyle.
