Not really, during my military training a there was a focus on management vs leadership and how the two intertwine. Great leaders can be terrible managers if they don’t want to do the associated admin, fortunately management skills are much easier to teach than leadership skills. Generally the latter (such as officer training) is cultivated in people that show requisite qualities (hence the UK cultivating potential military officers from 16 like the program I was in). Neither is a given for success but the most successful people in management structure have a good mix of both to navigate. Also, I think n being empathetic doesn’t always mean being nice, it just means seeing other view points and making decisions with that extra insight. It’s a fascinating topic I think.
