What Kind of Manager Do You Need in Your Team

They are taught from very early in their development how to manage under pressure, in extreme and often unprecedented and unhospitable circumstances.

Military leadership is based on the concept of duty, service and self-sacrifice, which is part of the oath undertaken when someone joins the Forces. Their leadership style is borne out of a conscientious obligation to serve.

• Have integrity
• Fast learners
• Follow orders
• Think for themselves
• Creative problem solvers
