Why startup founders are learning leadership from Special Forces
A Sydney leadership event on November 24 features a Special Forces commander, Paralympic champion, and executive coaches.
Startup founders must grow from idea to IPO. No tech event focused on the one skill that matters: leadership.
Jenkins, a former investor and top athlete, wanted to build this missing program. Jenkins believed the best leaders don't come from tech backgrounds.
Jenkins brought in former Special Forces commander Chris Marr, Paralympic champion Ellie Cole, and executive coaches as speakers. The event runs November 24 in Sydney and holds 150 people.
It covers leadership psychology, including research from the NBA. It also tests how participants lead.
