Creating a compelling culture
What we have learned and relearned in our Army is that unit cohesion and teamwork are what give individual soldiers the confidence to use initiative, to be resourceful, and to be all they can be. A soldier always
wants the best to be at his front, rear, right and left, trained to stay there regardless of what may happen.
PUPILS – Being inspired and motivated to engage and improve their learning behaviours

Able to recognise the difference between right and wrong and to readily apply this understanding in their own lives

TEACHERS – Implementing a compelling culture for pupil learning behaviours

Military Command Team Operations Scenario
What is character for learning?

Culture and Ethos
Interpersonal Relationships
These are about how members of the team interact with each other and people in the larger organisation.
A leader’s style influences the interaction of the entire group and is critical to building trust and accountability. A leader who listens and provides timely feedback creates an environment where
communication is encouraged and valued.
Share and explore heterogeneous experiences and backgrounds (differences)
Purposeful socialisation: Meet together as a team regularly and sometimes for socializing
Discuss and manage serious conflicts
