Session description
What can leaders and their teams learn from the army? It turns out, a lot! Just like on the battlefield in a business environment, we face uncertainty, incomplete information and sudden changes, and our people need a strong leader. So what lessons from the army are useful for business, and how can they be implemented in an organization?
The experience of the British military has proven that today simply giving orders and setting tasks is not enough - leaders must appeal to purpose and context if they want to engage teams in making the right decisions and perpetuate proactive attitudes. What leadership competencies and attitudes should the new leadership model be based on?
Through this session you will learn:
