Leadership is about having the ability to make decisions under pressure and the confidence to act on them. Leadership potential is what the Army looks for in its future officers.
Your officer training will help you develop this potential into proven leadership ability. You’ll learn through a range of realistic practical exercises, taught by soldiers and officers with many years’ experience.
Along the way you’ll develop your communication skills, essential for any leader. When your leadership training is complete you’ll have the opportunity to put it into practice by leading your own unit in a wide range of roles.
As a civilian manager you could wait years to receive this level of training or to get the same amount of practical experience. In the Army it’s a fundamental part of the job.
If you’re a Regular officer returning to civilian life or a Territorial officer combining the Army with your current career, you’ll soon find that plenty of companies recognise the value of Army leadership training and expertise.
