Brigadier Rupert Hoskin, AM is the Commandant of the Royal Military College (Australia) and the Director of Army Leadership. He has the lead responsibility for the training and development of leaders inside the Australian Army.
In this episode we talk about training people in the 'art of leadership'. We discuss what has changed over the last two decades and how digitisation of the battlefield impacts leadership. Rupert shares his insights on the things that are important for leaders; their burden of responsibility and authority and the importance of a fountain pen and champagne to leaders! How resilience is developed. What can Army learn from the Corporates.
And no military episode would be complete without doing some time on the parade ground with drill sergeants - a component of military training which seems to never change!
