The Fourth Angle of the Leadership Triangle

The paper focuses on the differentiating elements of military and corporate leadership and analyses what are the main factors which contribute to the difference, It also touches on the aspects of discipline in both these fields. The paper argues that leadership has three angles which go to form the entire leadership triangle, and these are a people skills, b knowing the job, and c having a vision or purpose. The fourth angle for the purposes of this paper, is made up of corporate leadership and services armed forces leadership as these are the two principal areas in which leadership reveals itself. It concludes by indicating that the factor which sets corporate discipline apart from military discipline is the element of‘democratic discipline' present in the former category. By this we mean that an order in the corporate world can be questioned it cannot be so questioned in the military world.
