Military careers provide leadership lessons early. Being a leader is part of a military person’s DNA; our mistakes and critical lessons learned in the heat of the moment, help us to be better leaders for the next time. While those leadership lessons come from the operational frontline and being part of a team, the lessons also come from leading people every day wherever we serve, organisations that challenge us to create the right environment and get stuff done, where we need to be able to communicate with greater effect, and of course, being prepared to eat humble pie when we get it wrong and ultimately are prepared to laugh at ourselves too.
The Frontline to Boardroom podcast is where we share the leadership lessons from those who have served in the military and then taken that experience to succeed in the corporate sector.
It will be a safe space for inspiring conversations with successful leaders and business owners who have served their country. across the ranks, the services, gender, professional roles and creed, sharing their leadership lessons, stories and lived experiences; warts, and all. The stories from leading men and women in harm's way to their hard-won leadership lessons into their corporate careers.
What makes this podcast unique is that everything you hear is based on experience. There’s no theory here, just raw conversations from truly inspiring and successful people. Our guests will not always be household names, but their impact as a leader will be clear and the conversations will explore the good, the bad and sometimes the ugly…
In the upcoming episodes, I will be in conversation with ex-military leaders sharing their leadership lessons and then taking that experience to succeed in the corporate sector.
