Foundations of Leadership

Foundations of Leadership

Offered at various locations

Battlefield Leadership uses the timeless lessons of history to equip today’s leaders for tomorrow’s challenges. Foundations of Leadership targets leader development for first-time and junior leaders.  Through a select use of case studies taken from a wide range of leading historical figures, the Foundations of Leadership Experience teaches valuable insights by examining the strategies, decisions, and challenges faced by some of the most influential leaders from across the centuries. Presidents, prime ministers, kings, queens, captains of industry, military leaders, and the coaches of legendary sports teams all offer a wealth of knowledge on what makes a leader effective, resilient, and impactful. Participants will emerge more prepared to not only lead their teams to better support their organizations, but ready for future leadership challenges and more complex roles. 

As we dive into historical examples, we’ll focus on themes such as decision-making under pressure, ethical leadership, adaptability in the face of change, disciplined initiative, and the power of vision. This program will equip new leaders with the lessons necessary to navigate complex challenges and lead with confidence. By the end of the program, participants will not only have a deeper understanding of some of history’s greatest leaders but also a personal framework for applying these lessons to their own leadership styles, empowering them to drive results.
