Battlefield Leadership Launches ‘Foundations of Leadership’ Program for First-Time Managers

New program equips emerging leaders to build trust, navigate challenges, and lead with purpose

Battlefield Leadership, a premier leadership development firm known for transforming timeless history into modern leadership insights, has launched a powerful new training experience designed specifically for first-time managers and rising leaders. The Foundations of Leadership program is designed to fill a critical and often-overlooked gap in traditional corporate training: how to lead people, not just manage tasks.

Battlefield Leadership equips emerging leaders to build trust, navigate challenges, and lead with purpose.

The program delivers targeted learning outcomes for emerging managers, aligning with talent development goals while reinforcing company culture, accountability, and performance.

“In many organizations, new leaders are handed responsibility without the tools or training to succeed,” said Col. (Ret.) Kevin W. Farrell, PhD, Battlefield Leadership President and CEO. “They may know how to run a meeting or create a spreadsheet, but no one teaches them how to build trust, inspire confidence, or guide a team through uncertainty. Foundations of Leadership provides the essential guidance new managers need to lead with clarity and impact.”

Built on Battlefield Leadership's signature method of learning through historical case studies, Foundations of Leadership introduces participants to a framework rooted in three essential traits: Character, Competence, and Courage. These “Three C's” are the foundation for earning trust, building cohesive teams, and achieving sustainable results.

Participants begin the program with a DiSC (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness) behavioral assessment to better understand their individual leadership style. From there, a blend of tailored learning modules and real-world historical case studies provide a practical roadmap to effective leadership.

Unlike traditional leadership training, this program pulls from centuries of real-world examples showcasing leaders from the fashion industry, championship sports teams, the food and beverage industry, heads of state and government, and culture. Foundations of Leadership equips emerging leaders with clear learning objectives that help them understand how to:

— Distinguish between being liked versus being respected

— Lead through crises and solve problems under pressure

— Find and use their authentic leadership voice

— Overcome fear of failure and build confidence

— Deliver constructive feedback that drives growth

— Develop self-awareness and emotional intelligence

— Empower others and foster a culture of accountability

These outcomes help organizations build a pipeline of confident, capable managers who lead with integrity, strengthen team performance, and are ready to take on more complex responsibilities.

This is the leadership training seasoned executives wish they had when they started. Now, it's available to the next generation. For more information on this new program or to learn more visit, battlefieldleadership.com.
