RED TEAMING

About the Book

Red teaming is a disciplined way to challenge assumptions, expose hidden risks, and strengthen strategy before it’s executed.

Originally developed inside the world’s most elite military and intelligence organizations, it has become an essential tool for leaders navigating an increasingly complex and uncertain world.

As the first and only civilian ever admitted to the U.S. Army’s elite Red Team Leaders Program, Bryce Hoffman offers unprecedented access to the methods used to pressure-test plans, overcome cognitive bias, and outthink fast-moving competitors.

In this groundbreaking book, he shows leaders at every level how to:

• Surface blind spots and mental models that distort decision-making
• Stress-test strategies against real-world threats, scenarios, and constraints
• Break through groupthink and create space for honest, contrarian analysis
• Build a culture where rigorous thinking and constructive dissent improve results
• Turn disruption into opportunity – and avoid becoming one of the disrupted

Drawing on lessons from the military, intelligence agencies, and some of the world’s most innovative companies, Red Teaming gives organizations a proven system for planning better, adapting faster, and making smarter decisions when stakes are high.
