Institute of Organisational Psychology Symposium
September 25, 2026What does it actually take to get people to show up, take initiative, and perform, especially when conditions are tough? Hans-Christian Knevelsrud has been studying exactly this question, not in a corporate environment but in the field with Norwegian military cadets on demanding operational courses and at sea. What Military Leadership Gets Right About Unlocking Performance unpacks what empowering leadership looks like in practice, why autonomy support is the critical lever, and what the military’s mission command doctrine can teach any organisation serious about building high-performing teams.
