Training Course
Syllabus:
Leadership Boot Camp
- Do your employees show initiative ... or do their hands have to be held
every step of the way?
- Can they make good management decisions ... or do they have to ask you for
advice on even the most minor issues?
- Are your managers able to lead their teams ... or do things fall apart
unless you interrupt your busy schedule and step in to straighten things out?
More than a thousand executives, professionals, and support staff have come
to Academy Leadership to improve business results by becoming better leaders.
And they have come away more confident ... more productive ... more in-command
... and better able to get things done through other people.
In short, they have taken their leadership skills-and their organizations-to a
whole new level.
The U.S. Navy is the mightiest Navy in the world-bar none. It has never lost a
major war. No one knows more about leadership than its top commanding officers.
The founder and senior management team of Academy Leadership combine business
backgrounds with years of service in the United States Navy, including training
at the Naval Academy and West Point. The result is Leadership Boot Camp-a

military commanders.
