Armies and corporations may be entirely different animals, but there's a lot that business leaders can learn from the way military leaders rally their troops.
"Leadership is deliberate: You don't accidentally have successful teams," retired Lt. Gen. Frank Kearney said last year at an executive training program at the US Military Academy in West Point, New York.
At the time, Business Insider sat down with Kearney to discuss the similarities of leading an infantry unit and leading a company.
The three-star general was formerly the deputy commander for the US Special Operations Command, a 62,000-person global enterprise with a $10 billion budget. The Army may not seek profits, but it certainly aims for results, he says, all while recruiting, training, and organizing thousands of people.
Here are six important lessons business leaders can learn from the US military.
