“Being the Best: Lessons from the Front Line”
|
| Leadership Consultant |
| Neil Jurd |
The modern battlefield is a terrifying environment, where enemy action adds danger and complexity to the simplest of tasks; mortars land in dining areas, resupply convoys are ambushed, surgeons operate from tents. How do officers plan complex operations when they are themselves scared and exhausted, and what inspires young soldiers to risk their lives in pursuit of higher objectives? Do you have this level of loyalty in your own organisation? Would you like to? In this presentation former Gurkha Officer and Sandhurst leadership instructor Neil Jurd explains how the army succeeds in hostile environments, and drawing on his experience as Head of Logistics with British Sugar, explains how battlefield procedures can be applied in the workplace to improve morale and increase output.
• How leaders behave.
• Generating Pride in your organisation.
• Building Morale and Team Spirit.
• Organised Planning – an overview of techniques used by the army.
