A leadership boot camp uses military techniques to help managers thrive in uncertain times.

Know yourself. Know your people. Know your stuff. “That's what we teach in the Navy when a young ensign goes to the ship,” says former Naval Flight Officer and corporate executive Corwin Karaffa. “Make sure you have the tools in your tool box.”
