Learning Objective: Participants will learn how to implement intrusive leadership practices aimed at building trust, increasing team cohesion, and improving productivity.

 

Amid ongoing uncertainty, workforce disengagement, and growing mental health concerns, leaders in military, government, and professional sectors are considering leadership models that extend beyond traditional oversight. Marcus A. Canady, Coast Guard officer and founder of the Canady Leadership Group, presents Intrusive Leadership, a people-focused approach designed for teams operating in high-pressure settings.

 

First developed in military contexts to promote unit cohesion and personal accountability, intrusive leadership encourages proactive engagement with team members beyond their roles as employees. Instead of responding only when issues arise, this model advocates for leaders to intentionally connect with employees, establish psychological safety, and provide early support for performance, morale, and well-being.

 

This framework is applicable across corporate organizations, public safety operations, civilian management, and federal agencies, supporting continued connection between leaders and staff and contributing to operational effectiveness.

 

Drawing on case studies and lessons from Canady’s experience in military and government leadership, this seminar provides strategies to strengthen command presence, enhance retention, and lead through established principles.

· Examine the foundational aspects of intrusive leadership and its relevance across various sectors.

· Learn methods for maintaining standards while fostering an environment built on trust and care.

· Consider ways intrusive leadership can help address common mental and emotional challenges within defense, civil service, and operational teams.

· Acquire approaches for engaging with employees to encourage resilience, loyalty, and improved performance.
