Centre for Army Leadership Roundtable 5

This episode is the fifth of several discussion episodes, in which we look back on all the episodes of the Human Advantage, to provide clear examples of Army leaders putting the competencies and sub-skills of the Leader Competency Framework (LCF) into practice.
We play back clips from previous episodes, talk about what they demonstrate from the LCF, and then discuss how you can apply those lessons immediately to your own leadership.
In this episode, Captain Ash Bhardwaj sits down with Major Tom Bucknall (RMP) and Cpl Ben Hicks (R ANGLIAN), to discuss clips from Ep 15 (Major Chris Duncalfe), Ep 17 (Lt Col Liz Kagoda), Ep 18 (Lt Tess Morris-Paterson), Ep 20 (Lt Col Simon Farebrother MC), Ep 21 (Lt Col Ed Fraser), and Ep 22 (Major David Love MBE).
Through their examples, we demonstrate how the LCF can be used as a tool for leadership development, self-reflection, and assessment, as well as how it can be used as a guide for every interaction with your seniors and subordinates.
