You have been assigned to organize, lead and command six of the Navy’s most sophisticated warships. With a total of 1500 sailors and assets worth nearly $5 billion, you must prepare them to sail in harm’s way in any one of the world’s many trouble spots. Along the way, you must react to changing developments, incorporate Allied forces, deal with poor weather, ensure the safety, security and morale of those in your trust, understand the political consequences of your military actions, and bring everyone home again safely, quite likely an impossible task for the leader who is not properly prepared or not using the right tools and methods to accomplish the mission.
We at COMMAND! Associates have been in this scenario and know the principles that will lead to your success in such complex undertakings.
COMMAND! Associates was founded by two U.S. Navy officers with experience in applying the lessons they learned during 75 collective years of command at sea, planning on major operational and shore staffs, extensive consulting and small business experience in the private sector and teaching at the university level. These skill sets make them eminently qualified to help you plan and execute a full range of tasks, from the seemingly simple to the very complex. We know that time and resources are limited, so let us help you get the very best from your organization.
We share our successful leadership and management skills through a practical application based upon the military planning process known as the Commander’s Estimate of the Situation. We convert this well refined process into “Seven Steps to Success Through Empowerment,” an executive decision-making assessment and guidance process using terms that apply to you and provide you the tools to use it effectively whether or not you have previous military experience.
