I founded Inertia Leadership to bridge that gap.
To bring military leadership principles developed and
proven in high stress situations, to organizations and individuals who are, or will be, leaders in their companies.

In the military, it's part of our duties and our culture
to mentor junior personnel in to future leaders.

The more I spoke with people outside the military,
the more I learned that's not always the case
in the rest of the world.

While my career was more corporate than combat,
the same skills, training and mentorship I experienced in the military also apply to the civilian world.

About Aanan Patel

I honed my leadership skills throughout a 21 year career in the United States Air Force and Space Force, working with civilian, contractor and military personnel from all US military branches.

I was able to learn from and experience leadership in depth at all levels, from 24/7 operations centers,
in a more C-suite environment at the Chief Operations Officer level, to multiple deployed locations,
and eventually leading my organization in Europe and across 30 allied partner nations.

Over my career, whether it was leading several dozen people or a multi-billion dollar program,
one of my guiding principals was that I had the capability to bring the right people, right knowledge
and right decisions to make the mission a success.

The goal of Inertia Leadership is to bring these same principals to you in order to create strong, proactive leaders, who are focused on mission success to provide their teams the guidance and confidence to perform autonomously, then step back into the role of the strategic leader.
