Learning Objective

  • Analyze the impact of good leadership on organizational success and productivity.
  • Identify key leadership styles and their appropriate applications in practice.
  • Differentiate between transactional and transformational leadership for effective team management.
  • Understand how the British Army's Values foster robust and effective leadership.
  • Explore the three essential roles of leaders and their responsibilities.

Course Overview

If you think generals lead military campaigns in high towers, you are wrong. The overall objective may be set at the top, but the detailed planning is set in the field, and the actual delivery of the operation is controlled at the lowest level possible. Army captains, lieutenants, and sergeants are the real leaders in the army.  

The ultimate test of leadership is the battlefield, and the British Army has proved one of the most effective fighting forces in the world for over 700 years. This means the British Army’s leadership teaching must be valuable even in the most testing situations.  

In this CPE course, Alistair Corrie and Ross Maynard discuss the leadership lessons from the British Army that can be applied in the workplace to help us become better leaders. These lessons include the style of leadership that army leaders are encouraged to adopt—and it's not command and control! In the course, we also discuss the British Army’s values and how they support effective leadership; we review the three roles of leaders and the British Army’s behaviors toward its leaders. 

Key topics covered:

  • What impact does good leadership have?
  • What are the leadership styles, and why do we use them?
  • The British Army's Values
  • The Three Roles of Leaders
  • The Behaviours of Army Leaders
  • The Leader's Manifesto
  • Getting started: Become the Leader you Aspire to B

Join us as we unpack the British Army Leadership Code and discuss practical steps for implementing these strategies in your leadership journey.
