British Navy Charts a Leadership Course


The British Royal Navy and the Chartered Management Institute are teaming to turn sailors into groundbreaking leaders.
By Garry Kranz

No Blighs Need Apply: The British Royal Navy and the Chartered Management Institute are teaming to turn sailors into groundbreaking leaders. Under the partnership, sailors who participate can network with top business leaders and take management and executive training courses. The coursework includes certificates in leadership and/or diplomas in management. Training courses take six months to a year to complete and include practice on building effective communication, managing diverse teams of people and performance counseling. Sailors also could benefit from coaching and mentoring relationships.

British naval officials say it is intended to help sailors make a smooth transition to the private sector should they leave military service.
