Corporations are increasingly focused on bringing military brass into leadership roles and into the Boardroom. The reasons are clear; generals are trained to anticipate unforeseen risk, build high-performance teams and make quick, strategic decisions when under pressure. They also bring discipline to the table, a virtue that is increasingly necessary in today's ever-growing disruptive and challenging times.
Companies are not only focused on top-brass, but are also attracted to executives who served in the armed forces and achieved the level of captain. These individuals bring many of the same virtues to a corporate organization, and executive search consultants increasingly hunt for military alums.
