Lessons From The U.S. Marine Corps Can Apply To Corporate Leadership

Workshop by Alsbridge CEO Ben Trowbridge at SIG Sourcing Summit

Alsbridge CEO Ben Trowbridge, who attained the rank of Captain in the Marine Corps, will present the workshop, “Leadership as a Way of Life—Lessons from the U.S. Marines Applied to Corporate Leadership,” His program will address key leadership questions: Are you a leader or a manager? Can you be both? What does your team need from you to drive the organization to the next level?

"Corporate leaders should think about lessons that can be learned from a truly high performance organization where failure is not an option," said Trowbridge."In today's troubling business climate there are many lessons that can be learned from the Marines.”

The workshop compares modern management theories and the United States Marine Corps’ leadership lessons that have been valid for 232 years. Among these are the obligations to lead by example and to address team needs with oriented objectives.
