Methodology of the Professional-Business Game for the Development of a Cadet Leader in Professional Training Courses (L-1B) of the Tactical Level of Military Education
Developing Leadership through Professional-Business Games in Military Training
In modern military education, cultivating leadership among cadets is critical, especially in the face of rapidly changing tactical environments. Igor Kozubtsov’s recent study, published in IgMin Research, introduces an innovative methodology using professional-business games to enhance leadership skills in military training courses. This blog post explores the methodology and its application in the tactical training of cadet leaders.
The Role of Professional-Business Games in Leadership Training
Professional-business games, used as a pedagogical tool, simulate real-world military scenarios to develop leadership, decision-making, and adaptability among cadets. In Kozubtsov’s research, this approach is applied in the L-1B courses for the tactical level of military education. The primary goal is to strengthen cadets’ capabilities to respond effectively to complex and uncertain situations.
- Cadet Leadership Development
- The study emphasizes that the leadership qualities needed in military settings include self-confidence, resilience, critical thinking, and effective communication. By incorporating real-life and force majeure scenarios, professional-business games encourage cadets to apply theoretical knowledge practically and develop the necessary skills to lead under pressure.
- Simulation of Tactical Scenarios
- Cadets engage in scenarios reflecting the combat use of communication systems, requiring them to make strategic decisions with limited information. This hands-on approach enhances their technical competencies and prepares them for the challenges of leading units in real operations.
- Building a Foundation for Future Officers
- Kozubtsov’s research identifies essential leadership qualities that cadets must embody, such as flexibility, empathy, and organizational skills. These qualities are crucial for military leaders who must inspire and guide their teams in high-stress environments.
Benefits of the Professional-Business Game Approach
The professional-business game methodology supports the holistic development of cadets by combining technical, strategic, and psychological training. The approach allows cadets to build teamwork skills, develop a sense of responsibility, and understand the importance of both individual and collective actions in achieving mission goals.
Conclusion: A New Era of Tactical Training
Kozubtsov’s study advocates for integrating professional-business games into military training curricula to create more capable, resilient, and adaptable leaders. This method not only addresses the technical needs of military education but also fosters critical leadership qualities essential for modern warfare.
