problem-based / objective-driven

Developing leadership skills is necessary for the growth of every team and its members. Each team member is a leader. Leadership is a skill, and leadership is not a one-way street.

We can all lead up and down the chain of command, left and right to our team members. We need to lead ourselves, our community, our team and our family. Leadership is often overlooked and only becomes important when a serious problem arises. We help to solve and prevent those challenges.

For teams

Short and long-term management development programmes

Combat Ready and Echelon Front combined have helped thousands of organisations, from small businesses to Fortune 100 organisations. Large or small team – we have a leadership training program to help you and your team succeed and achieve your mission.

Why choose us? The principles we teach come from the most intense environment possible – the battlefield. Leadership helped us navigate through war, and it will most certainly help you in a meeting or when interacting with a coworker or partner.

Extremely practical, clear, and well-structured. I really liked that we started with practical exercises and reinforced the theory on the second day. I also appreciated that it wasn’t possible to just sit passively and listen — you had to engage. And it's amazing that everything applies to personal life too, which is arguably even more important than work life!

Participant
I can imagine us having a day like this every year — and each time, there would be something new to discover about ourselves. I believe everyone grows so much over the course of a year that being placed in a situation like this again would always bring a fresh perspective. I genuinely enjoyed today — it clearly showed me that, despite our busy work schedules and the things that seem so important, we can take a step back to invest in strengthening our collaboration.
Vaike
Participant
The training made me reflect deeply and analyze situations in my own life. Before the training, I felt like I was stuck in a rut — but afterwards, I found a direction to move forward. I realized that I need to take responsibility, and there was a real shift in my mindset — one that I hope will stay with me for the rest of my life.
Marge
Participant
I really liked the idea that attack is the best form of defense… it instantly reminded me of my teenager at home, who seems to practice this strategy quite successfully, no matter what issue is being discussed 😄. What I especially appreciated about the training was how we addressed real problems, had meaningful discussions, heard real-life examples, and experienced the instructors' openness and honesty.
Viljar
Participant
I’m going to start practicing now 🙂 Not falling into the tunnel vision, seeing the bigger picture, untangling my thought patterns and behavior habits, giving a little nudge to my ego when needed, and so on. If I become a better person, I can be a better example to the people around me. Everything was valuable and gave me reassurance that quite a few of my mindsets are actually on the right track. Of course, working on yourself is a constant process — and this gave me fresh new perspectives to keep going.
Marten
Participant
I’m deeply grateful for this training. It’s truly amazing that people with such a strong professional background are willing to share their experience to help others grow. I really appreciated how the material was given to us in small, powerful doses and how we constantly reflected on it — that helped the key messages truly take root. The content was clear and easy to grasp. Compared to other leadership trainings, there was so much more I could apply directly to both my work and personal life. I especially loved the instructors’ directness — it made everything feel real and meaningful.
Barbara
Participant
Awesome! Energetic, educational, sensible, and engaging! The training was well-balanced, and I especially loved the exercises out in the field. Keep up the great work! 💪🔥
Kristi
Participant
The presentation skills were top-notch. I’ve never been to a training where I was able to stay so focused on the content without my mind wandering. (P.S. I’ve been a trainer myself for 17 years!)
Andres
Participant
A huge, huge thank you once again for yesterday! We ended up sitting together for another hour afterwards, reflecting and sharing thoughts — and it was so powerful to see how everyone’s mind started turning, analyzing their own perspectives and next steps. It was exactly what we needed at this moment — like a perfect punch between the eyes (in the best way possible)! 👊

Combat Ready: a training partner that helps grow great leaders

Combat Ready’s mission is to develop a strong leadership culture in Estonia and across Europe. Every day, we work to support leaders at all levels — helping them grow the skills needed to care for their people, lead themselves, and move their teams toward victory.

We draw from our leadership experience in both the private sector and the battlefield to deliver the most practical leadership training available. Military and civilian leadership have more in common than we often realize.

Our vision is to help build a successful and resilient society — one where the mindset of extreme ownership and a culture of relationship-building are deeply rooted in every leader and team. We aim to be trailblazers who don’t just train leaders, but also create and support systems that help freedom endure and grow.
