Red Planet Ready Teams is a team-building and development framework conceptualized by entrepreneur Jon Rhoades. It emphasizes the integration of work as a vital part of life and focuses on creating teams that are profoundly connected, resilient, and prepared for high-stakes challenges. The framework draws on the metaphor of preparing a team for a Mars mission to highlight the need for physical, mental, and even financial readiness.
Concept and Philosophy

The framework envisions workplaces as environments where individuals can have a transformative impact on one another, fostering mutual growth and trust.
The metaphor of a Mars mission underscores the philosophy's seriousness. Just as astronauts must rely on one another for survival in an extreme environment, team members are expected to cultivate preparedness and interdependence.
