Training Programmes and Advice

The Cove leadership training resources

The Cove, the Australian one-stop-shop for official Australian Army PME, has an article on how to run a PME programme (although it isn’t just focussed on leadership). The article is based on a UK unit’s PME programme and is here.

The Centre for Army Leadership has published a leadership insight about the book Black Hearts which links to an example 1-day leadership training package. You can download Leadership Insight No 2: Reflections on Black Hearts here.

Reading

Another option is to choose a book as the basis of your leadership development programme. You could start with some of our recommendations.

No time to read? I highly recommended subscribing to Audible to listen to near-unlimited audio books.

 

Videos

Leadership videos can form the basis of your leadership development package. Watch the video as a group and then discuss the themes. You can find a series of leadership videos here.
