The highly skilled NAVY SEALS are interested in whether or not leaders can cross a water hazard or any other arbitrary obstacle.

They are interested in training leaders who can create an environment in which everyone feels trusted and trusting so that they can work together to overcome any obstacle.

Performance is technical competence whereas trust is related to character and hence NAVY SEALS end up giving more emphasis to Trust or EQ than IQ or performance.
