🎖️ The #1 Military Leadership Lesson Every Corporate Leader Needs! | The Lunchtime Series w/ Kevin Britz 🎙️🚀 What if I told you that the secret to outstanding corporate leadership is hidden in military training?In this episode of The Lunchtime Series, Kevin Britz sits down with Isabelle Fortin, a former Canadian Air Force officer turned corporate leadership expert, to unpack the key leadership lesson from the military that corporate leaders MUST adopt.🔥 Why You Need to Watch This Episode:✅ Corporate leaders often fail due to a lack of leadership training, while the military makes it mandatory.✅ Only 6 percent of corporate leaders receive formal leadership development—why is this such a massive problem?✅ The best salesperson is not necessarily the best sales leader—promoting without leadership skills is a recipe for failure.✅ Empathy, adaptability, and humility are the three non-negotiable traits of effective leaders.✅ Retention is a leadership issue—employees leave bad bosses, not bad jobs.🎯 What’s in This Episode?Join Kevin and Isabelle as they break down the leadership gaps in corporate settings and explore how adopting military-style leadership training, human-centered leadership, and behaviour based communication strategies can lead to high-performing teams and greater organizational success.✨ What You’ll Learn:✔️ Why corporate leadership training is broken and what companies need to fix now.✔️ The power of structured leadership training and why the military gets it right.✔️ How psychometric assessments improve team communication and motivation.✔️ Why leaders must understand behavioural motivation for real impact.✔️ The difference between empathy versus sympathy—and why leaders must master this.📌 Top Five Takeaways From This Episode:1️⃣ Leadership is a Skill, Not a Title. In the military, leadership training is mandatory before promotion. In corporate settings, people are often promoted without training, leading to poor management, high turnover, and disengaged teams.2️⃣ People Leave Bosses, Not Jobs. Leadership plays a direct role in retention—a toxic boss or an uninspiring leader will drive top talent away. Employees seek purpose, alignment, and a supportive culture.3️⃣ Empathy Does Not Mean Sympathy. Leaders must understand their teams but not carry their burdens. Empathy fosters connection, while sympathy can lead to burnout. The right balance is key.4️⃣ Assessments Are More Effective Than Assumptions. Using psychometric tools and behavioural assessments helps leaders communicate effectively, understand team motivation, and align strengths with tasks. Stop guessing—use data!5️⃣ The Mission Comes First. The military operates with clarity, efficiency, and strategic execution. Corporate leaders must learn to prioritise tasks, assign the right people, and eliminate ego-driven decisions. The best leader is the one who empowers others to perform at their peak.💡 Final Thoughts:If corporate leaders implemented just a fraction of military leadership training, companies would see stronger teams, better engagement, and higher retention. The mission-first approach, combined with human-centered leadership, is the future of workplace success.🔗 Connect With Isabelle Fortin: AgainstTheOrdinary.org📺 Subscribe for More Leadership Insights!🔗 LinkedIn & Social Media:https://www.linkedin.com/in/isabelle-fortin-a1508768/🎬 Watch Now and Transform Your Leadership!🔔 Like, Comment, and share this episode with leaders, HR professionals, and executives who need to hear this! 🚀📢 Connect with Kevin Britz :🌐 Website:https://www.kevinbritz.com/📚 Books: The Future of Work is Human🔗 LinkedIn & Social Media: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinbritz-leadership/#Leadership #CorporateTraining #MilitaryLeadership #HighPerformingTeams #LunchtimeSeries #KevinBritz #HumanCenteredLeadership
