WHAT ARE THE LAWS OF COMBAT?
At its core, Cover and Move is simply teamwork. It is obvious that for people to be successful, they must work as a team. However, most organizations only focus on working well together inside of their project team, department, or small group. For the entire organization to truly be successful, all teams, departments, divisions, elements, etc. must work together. This requires a change in mentality – a realization that if the team fails, everyone fails. To create this type of environment, the division between those groups must be dissolved. This can only be accomplished through building relationships. During this course, the instructors will walk you through the importance of Cover and Move. You will also be asked to complete interactive activities to help create an action plan for beginning to build more effective relationships across departments.
Effective communication is a constant struggle for any human being that interacts with another human being (how we define a leader). However, this becomes difficult because people lose sight of the goal of communication – to confirm that the other person understands. In this course, we will teach you to shift your communication goal to ensuring alignment instead of being heard. You will learn how to simplify the missions, the plans, and the way you communicate. To do this, you have to first have a relationship (Cover and Move) with the other person so that you better understand how to effectively communicate with them. Then, you can modulate your communication methods to that person. Finally, the instructors will teach you how to correctly use a readback to ensure alignment.
Once you have established a simple mission and plan, you have to execute on those plans. But it’s not just one plan or project you’re dealing with. Leaders are constantly managing a multitude of priorities at the same time while also dealing with the perpetual “fires” that arise on any given day. In this course, we teach you how to properly prioritize and effectively execute through a key tactic of detachment. As humans, we are naturally driven by our emotions, and while we should never be emotionless when we make emotional decisions, we don’t make the right decisions. The instructors will focus on teaching you how to detach in the moment to prioritize the highest impact task and get it done while also providing strategies for consistently staying aligned to the overall goals of the organization in daily tasks.
Even if you have incredible relationships, outstanding communication skills, and are masterful at handling priorities, you can’t do everything. And as a leader, you should not be doing everything. This final course focuses on how to correctly empower those around you to lead. By learning how to give others ownership over plans and execution, you will learn how to get people to effectively perform and solve problems at their level. The instructors will focus on the importance of explaining the why and setting up proper parameters and expectations while giving the team as much ownership as possible over projects to ensure Decentralized Command. As a takeaway, each participant will ensure they have a clearly defined mission statement (the ultimate why) to which they can align the team and set the conditions for the team to begin executing on their own.
