The course is built on the book

For more than 70 years, the CARVER Methodology has helped intelligence officers and military planners decide what matters most before they act. In CARVER Leadership, Luke Bencie flips the script on the original acronym and applies it to the six traits he has seen in great leaders across three worlds: the boardroom, the war room, and the locker room.

Each chapter pairs a trait with case studies from business, the military, and sports, then closes with a Chalk Talk that explains the concept and a Plan of Attack you can use on Monday morning. The live course puts those chapters to work.

Also inside the book
