For commanders at the rank of major and above / permanent status

Managing command-educational discourse

In an era of ongoing combat and heated public debate, commanders are required to lead meaningful, accurate, and responsible command discourse. The workshop provides tools for dealing with the ethical challenges posed by the changing reality, while maintaining professionalism, IDF values, and the shared mission. We will delve into the challenges of discourse at this time, practice identifying educational situations in the field, and engage in adapting command and educational tools to instill values and strengthen cohesion and trust within the unit.

The HaMeorer Training Center offers workshops for commanders that focus on ethical and educational competence as an integral part of command. The workshops emphasize the understanding that a commander's role includes not only operational leadership but also educational responsibility and ethical professionalism.

During the workshops, we will learn to identify deeper layers of events within the unit—on the ethical, social, and human levels—and turn everyday situations into command and educational opportunities.

Commanders experiment with informal tools for leadership and dialogue, deepening their understanding that values are not only learned as knowledge, but are realized through experience, personal example, and leadership of organizational culture.

You can book a single workshop as needed, or hold a concentrated seminar entitled "The Educating Commander," which includes a discussion of the commander's educational role and a series of workshops selected by the unit.
