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.

Our mindset
EXTREME OWNERSHIP
Understanding that I am the owner of everything in my life.
HUMILITY
Control your ego and notice the people around you.
DISCIPLINE = FREEDOM
Deal with what’s important and hold your standards high.
INNOVATE AND ADAPT
Keep up with changing circumstances.
DEFAULT AGGRESSIVE
Just take action and make things happen.
Theory without practice is only half the solution. We believe you have to train like you fight.
Feedback to our trainings:
Extremely practical, clear and structured. I liked that we started with practice and consolidated the theory on the second day. I also liked that it was not possible to passively sit and just listen. It's great that this also applies to our private lives, which is more important than work life!

I imagine that we could do such a day every year, and each time we would learn something new about our team. I think that everyone develops so much in one year that when you are in a situation like this, the perspective would always be different. I really enjoyed today and it really sent a clear signal that regardless of busy schedules and things that seem so important, we can take a step back to contribute to the growth of our collaboration.

The training made me think and analyze my own life situation. Before the training, I felt that I was in a hole with my friends but after the training, I feel I got a direction to move forward. I realized that I had to take responsibility. There was a change in my way of thinking that I hope will stay with me for the rest of my life.

I really liked the idea that offence is the best defence. I immediately thought of a teenager growing up at home who successfully practices this no matter what the problem is. At the training, I really liked setting up a real problem and discussions, examples from life, the openness and honesty of the trainers.
Marge
I'm going to start practicing now 🙂 How to not getting into a tunnel, see the bigger picture, unravel my thought and behavioural patterns, not giving into my ego, etc. If I myself become a better person, I can be a better example for the people around me. Everything was useful and gave me confidence that quite a few of my own ways of thinking are still completely correct. Of course, you have to deal with yourself all the time and I gained some new perspectives.
Viljar
I am very grateful for the training. It's really wonderful that people with such a professional background share their experience to develop others. I loved how the material was presented to us “as a seed” and constantly reflected upon so that the key messages could take root and grow. The content was clear and understandable. Compared to other leadership training I have participated in, there was more knowledge to transfer to work and private life. I especially liked the directness of the instructors.
Marten
Very inspiring. It will definitely help me to be a better leader in the future 🙂 What I remembered most was the idea that everything starts with me. There are always things I could change. I really liked that Remo gave examples from real life and situations. That made it easier to identify and create parallels with your profession.
Paula
Great! Vigorous, educational, reasonable and interesting! The training was balanced and I liked the exercises in the field the most. Keep going!
Barbara
The performance was up to par. I have never before experienced a training where I was able to focus so much on the content without my mind going elsewhere (PS! I myself have been a trainer for 17 years.)
Kristi
A very good balance between practice and theory. Very vivid examples and we we learing from the first moment. What I liked most was the way the instructor conducted the training. I learned the most from this. The exercises highlighted our areas of development and made them quite visible.
Kärt
Thank you again for the awesome workshop. It was very useful and made me think about what is important today, why we come to work and what are our core values. It's awesome that you are still hands-on with us and we have grown together.
Markus
Thank you very much for yesterday! After the training we sat for another hour and reflected among our team. It was good to see how our thoughts were moving and we analyzed our own perspectives and next steps. It was just the wake up call we needed at that moment!!
