Overview

Learn how to make hard decisions in difficult situations — and ensure a successful outcome

In boardrooms and workplaces, as in war zones, there is a simple truth: leaders must make hard decisions. It’s only through timely decision-making and clear, considered strategy that leaders can cut through ambiguity and chaos — and protect their people and their organisation. With Best Possible Outcome, you’ll learn how the military cultivates the mindset, the people, and the processes that ensure success even in tough times. What’s more, you’ll discover how to systematically implement those lessons within your business.

With over 25 years’ experience in the Australian Army, from on-the-ground combat to intelligence, Lieutenant Colonel Garth Callender has learned what it takes. In Best Possible Outcome, he shares remarkable stories from his time in service and delivers insightful lessons about risk, resilience, and agility. You’ll discover a pragmatic, three-pillar leadership framework that allows leaders in any field to embrace challenges, drive innovation, and maximise results. Ultimately, you’ll establish a system that ensures the best possible outcome in any situation.

Develop the mindset and leadership skills essential for:

  • Understanding and managing real risk
  • Building organisational resilience
  • Making difficult ethical decisions
  • Staying ahead of the competition
  • Achieving success under pressure and despite uncertainty

From managing risk on the streets of Afghanistan to unpacking what insurgents know about organisational agility, Garth shows how the skills used to lead teams in military conflict can improve organisational responsiveness. Best Possible Outcome will show you how to lead strategically, assess outcomes clearly, and establish a pathway out of vulnerability and crisis.
