About this episode

The episode discusses Army leaders applying the Leader Competency Framework through clips from previous episodes.

This episode is the first of several discussion episodes in which we look back on all the episodes of the Human Advantage in order to provide clear examples of Army leaders putting the competencies and sub-skills of the Leader Competency Framework (LCF) into practice.We play back clips from previous episodes, talk about what they demonstrate from the LCF, and discuss how you can apply those lessons immediately to your own leadership.In this episode Captain Ash Bhardwaj sits down with Lieutenant Colonel Tom Bucknall* and WO1 Paul Kennedy of the Center for Army Leadership to discuss clips from Episode 3 (Major Luke Turrell), Episode 4 (Col Hannah Stoy), Episode 5 (Major Jim Beckett), and Episode 6 (WO1 Paul Carney).Through their examples we demonstrate how the LCF can be used as a tool for leadership development, self-reflection, assessment, and how it can be used as a guide for every interaction with your seniors and subordinates. *Major Tom Bucknall was awarded acting rank at the time while covering for SO1 Leadership.
