This is a hiking version of the “Leadership Principles foundation course” training. We combine moderate outdoor activity with acquiring new knowledge, and thus develop a sense of team unity. The hike does not require any special fitness level. Rather, the focus will be on being in nature, engaging in discussions, absorbing new knowledge and building relationships.

It is a training day where theory is closely linked to immediate practice. New knowledge will be consolidated through discussions, role-plays and exercises. Each exercise will be followed by a discussion and feedback session to help participants make connections with everyday professional and personal situations. The Combat Hike is an opportunity to see problems from different perspectives, through the eyes of the leader, the subordinate and the colleague. This leads to a better understanding of each other and of the nature of the problem, as well as possible solutions.
