Why companies book officers. Every leadership framework in a management book was practised first in a unit where mistakes cost lives. Veterans talk about trust, decision-making with incomplete information, and leading people who are afraid, in a way that a corporate audience finds impossible to dismiss.
Who is on this list. Kargil War veterans including among the first Indian women officers on active duty in 1999, an amputee marathoner who became India's first blade runner, retired Brigadiers and Captains who now teach leadership, and the officer who set up India's national intelligence grid.
Formats. Leadership keynotes, sales kickoffs, Independence Day and Republic Day events, women-in-leadership programmes and outbound team-building days designed with a military structure.
