Leading Through the Fog
Decisive Action in High-Stakes Environments
In combat and crisis, indecision is the only wrong answer. Drawing on his experience leading a 29,000-person Infantry Division and overseeing operations across 135 locations in Afghanistan, Charles V. Sasser Jr. shares the framework for making rapid, effective decisions under pressure. Audiences will learn how to cut through information overload ("the fog of war"), empower subordinate leaders to act without waiting for permission, and maintain operational momentum when plans go wrong. This session translates the Command Sergeant Major’s ability to synchronize complex moving parts into actionable strategies for corporate executives facing market volatility and organizational chaos.
-
The Unbreakable Standard
Behavioral Health and Organizational Resilience
True resilience isn’t just about "bouncing back"—it is about training your mind to endure before the crisis hits. As a contributor to the U.S. Army leadership handbook "From One Leader to Another," Charles V. Sasser Jr. authored key insights on behavioral health and resilience. In this session, he combines academic theory with the gritty reality of Ranger School and combat deployments to teach leaders how to build "mental armor." Attendees will learn how to identify burnout in their teams, destigmatize the conversation around mental health, and create a culture where asking for help is seen as a strength, not a weakness.

The Backbone of the Business
Empowering Middle Management to Drive Results
In the Army, the Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) is known as the "Backbone." They translate the General’s vision into action on the ground. Charles V. Sasser Jr., a retired Command Sergeant Major (the highest enlisted rank), teaches organizations how to empower their own "NCOs"—the middle managers and team leads who actually drive production. This talk focuses on bridging the gap between C-Suite strategy and frontline execution. Charles provides a blueprint for holding teams accountable to "professional standards of accountability" while fostering deep loyalty and trust within the ranks.
-
Beyond Borders
Navigating Cultural Complexity and Security Risks

Sasser Jr. draws on his decade of experience as a defense contractor and advisor in Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Iraq, and Kuwait to illustrate how to succeed in foreign markets. From advising the Saudi Royal Air Force to training 9,000 Nigerian soldiers, Charles shares lessons on building influence without authority, navigating complex cultural landscapes, and managing security risks in volatile regions. This session is essential for multinational teams working across diverse geographies.
