Overview | Field Training Exercise

The Echelon Front Field Training Exercise Program is a leadership training protocol that teaches, reviews, tests, and ingrains the leadership principles of Extreme Ownership utilizing experiential learning, dynamic feedback, and a carefully formulated methodology. Attendees are first taught leadership principles, then the basic strategies, tactics, and techniques suitable for the training environment. Once prepared, participants are formed into teams, assigned leadership positions, and tasked with a mission. Attendee’s plan and execute the mission, where they will face leadership challenges that they must overcome utilizing the fundamental principles of leadership, including the four Laws of Combat, Extreme Ownership, and the Dichotomies of Leadership.  

Detailed debriefs after each training mission will help participants make direct connections from the leadership lessons, they are learning to actual leadership challenges they are working through in their professional and personal lives. After the debrief, instructors select new leaders for the team and assign another mission. All participants will both lead and follow while rotating through various positions of the team.

TESTIMONIALS

“No testimonial will ever come close to explaining the impact this FTX had on my team of subordinate leaders and myself. This was a career/life changing experience.” 

Gary Bright

“FTX was the best leadership training I have ever received; it was a high stress, real world environment, that forced me to use the 4 laws of combat to succeed. The EF Team was able to illustrate in real time the importance of leadership and how the execution of the 4 laws of combat is imperative to success in business, but more importantly success in day-to-day life.” 

Guinness McFadden

“In my 20 plus years I have been through many leadership classes- Bell Leadership, Ken Blanchard Situational leadership, and Pacific Institute just to name a few. That being said, I have never been through a training that was as impactful and life changing as our last leadership summit with Echelon Front. The take a ways from the EF FTX training and leadership summit were great. During the FTX training I realized how imperative clear, simple communication can be and it can make or break a team. I decided at that moment I would make sure our teams started simple and clear communication.”

“This 2–Day FTX investment will undoubtedly generate a higher and more immediate corporate ROI in young managers than sending them to a 2–year MBA program” 

 

“If you think you understand the Laws of Combat, humble your ego and think again. This training brings principles into reality and translates them into an applicable format you can immediately utilize in your business.”
