Trust-building workshop between commander and subordinates

To junior and mid-level commanders

Trust between commander and subordinates

What builds trust between people? What undermines it? In this workshop, we will learn various tools for building trust between commanders and subordinates. We will also discuss building trust within the system and the ethical dilemmas that command can pose in relation to belonging to a large system. We will present various examples from unit life and from life itself.

 

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.
