Battleground To Business

Course Overview

Course Introduction

United State Marines are known for doing their jobs under fire, being straight up, ethical and stalwart. These qualities don’t come to mind when we think of Wall Street or the business world in general. There is much that the Marine Corps can teach about ethically conducting business based on principles of strength and fairness. Ken Marlin, retired Marine Captain and Management Consultant, shares insights based on his book The Marine Corps Way to Win on Wall Street: 11 Key Principles from Battlefield to Boardroom.
 
In this course you will learn to operate your business along strong ethical lines. You will learn how to use military tactics to establish clear objectives, further your goals, understand your combat advantages, manage your timing and leverage your team’s skills to achieve success. You will also learn why corporate strategies need to be based on a long-term view and not short-term gains.
