- Business
If there is one organization that is highly effective in aligning their troops, it's the army.
But ever wonder how they do it? Or if their strategy is replicable in business or with your team?
Rach Ranton is a TED speaker, corporate leader, author, and motivational consultant who served in the Australian Army for 11 years. Her TED Talk titled “Where are we trying to end up?” and book DAUNTLESS: Leadership lessons from the front line draw parallels between leadership concepts the military is especially brilliant in executing and how those concepts can be leveraged in business.
In particular, Rach calls out one tactic: Commander's Intent.
Commander's intent is a technical term used in the army to get aligned and initiate coordinated actions. When alignment and coordinated action are present, can you guess what becomes possible?
High performance. It's a thing of beauty. I've seen it in teams we coach but Rach breaks it down to a 3 step process.
Tune in to the full episode to learn about:
Commander's Intent: how to align your team and organization
Major leadership lessons learned from the front lines
How to apply these lessons at work
Foundational principles that must exist for high performing teams
