At Quest Defense, we stand strong in our appreciation for the armed forces. We believe that there are many things you can learn as a military officer that translate perfectly into the civilian world. In this piece, Brig. Gen. David Elwell talks about his experience in the Army and how it has positively impacted his personal and professional life. Elwell says that some of the most important skills he learned in the Army are communication and collaboration. “The leader has to know how to communicate the mission and then merge the team together... If your team does not gel, or if you don’t have the right people in the right seats, you have to address it immediately." I have to agree with him; in the military and business, the leader has to be an effective communicator.

What a tremendous book from Lloyd Clark! His book explores the leadership journeys and approaches of renowned World War II military commanders George Patton, Bernard Montgomery, and Erwin Rommel. It provides insights into their strategic thinking, decision-making processes, and the challenges they faced in leading troops during crucial campaigns of the war. A recounting of a clash of wills, egos and ambitions that entertains and thrills in equal measure, this book should be required reading in defence academies. #militaryhistory #generalship #leadership #pme #educationalresources

Many of the human performance programs currently getting established across the conventional military are, at least in theory, based on the lessons learned from the special operations community. But lessons are only learned if we're actually communicating, not just at the senior leader level, but at every level. Coaches talking to coaches, and leaders talking to leaders at every level. If we don't establish these relationships and share these lessons, then we'll be forced to repeat a decade worth of learning the hard way. Our latest episode is with the First Sergeant for 75th Ranger Regiment's Selection and Training Company. 1SG Tyler Fillion is a huge advocate for human performance programs, and speaks from experience on how to integrate these professionals while preserving the role of leaders in execution. As usual, it's less about the Xs and Os of training programs, and more about building a culture of high performance. #podcast #military #army #ranger #specialoperations #fitness #humanperformance #strengthandconditioning #h2f #acft
