Don has led teams throughout various theatres of operation, developing an array of specialist skill sets. His leadership experience has allowed him to deal with dynamic situations calmly and effectively. His zen-like demeanor to challenges and obstacles allows him to take a pragmatic practical approach to achieve mission success. For Don, an important concept is the principle of Mission Command. It is critical for leaders at all levels to understand their commander’s intent. This involves implicitly understanding the mission objectives, parameters, and key performance indicators. Don is a student of resilience from a practical and theoretical perspective. He has served in a number of specialist units within the military from Assault Pioneers (Mountain Warefare) to Amphibious Operations all of which require physical and mental strength. He has also completed several university qualifications focusing on Resilience at Work, Strategic Thinking, and Planning and Management. During his career, Don served as a Survival instructor imparting his knowledge of leadership and resilience to the next generation of military operators. Placing new operators in challenging, complex, high-risk situations confirmed that leadership principles need to be simple and easy to implement. As a qualified syllabus designer, Don refined complex leadership and resilience theory into several key tenets that can be applied across all organisations at all levels. Don founded Excalibur Leadership to share his passion for leadership and resilience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615bb55d7e3294560936ef04/3dafd5a3-a597-414c-869a-878fd54f1805/Suresh+Image.jpg About Us - SURESH HARIDAS TRAINING MANAGER Suresh Haridas is a retired military officer, having served 19 years in the Singapore Army and Air Force.
