Applied Academics

By combining the Army’s leadership framework of “Be-Know-Do”, and the character values based on West Point’s tradition of excellence and “Duty, Honor, Country,” TLDG provides customized leadership training to leaders in corporations, government agencies, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations from around the world.

All of the leadership and ethics training is led by faculty members, who are some of the most highly regarded leadership experts in the world and most of whom are graduates of the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point. Each have:

• advanced degrees (mostly Ph.D.’s) in the field of leadership development;

• conducted/or are conducting research in specific areas within leadership (leader development, transformational leadership, trust, etc.);

• deep military experience leading around these principles; and

• taught these principles to cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point or officers in Army institutions.

TLDG offers a variety of course modules and learning opportunities that emphasize what is required to be a leader of character. Each session typically lasts between 2-4 hours and has a combination of three elements:

1. Academically grounded and practically applied leadership models, frameworks, and/or tools that stem from how West Point and the Army develops leaders;

2. Examples of how faculty members are applying/have applied these principles in their career; and

3. Hands-on applications by the participants to discuss and apply the concepts as it relates to their environment.

• Increase innovation
