The Moonraker Method
At the heart of everything we do is the Moonraker Method – our unique approach to building confident, capable leaders. Inspired by the Army’s tried-and-tested leadership principles and adapted for the realities of business, our model blends human insight, clear processes, and sharp planning.
Great leadership comes from understanding people, creating clarity, and building momentum – even under pressure. Our method is built on three interdependent pillars:
1. Lead the Human
Understand people to lead them effectively
Great leadership starts with emotional intelligence. Leaders must understand what drives people – motivation, fear, communication styles – in order to inspire trust, build cohesion and drive performance. This pillar focuses on team dynamics, morale, motivation, and decision-making under pressure.
Leadership is never just about tasks – it’s about people. And people follow those who understand them.
2. Build the System
Design the right processes, structures, and rhythm
Even the best people can fail in a bad system. This pillar is about creating the conditions for success – through clear planning, effective delegation, smart meetings, and operational rhythm. Leaders learn to structure work in a way that supports human behaviour, not fights it.
If you want people to thrive, build systems that make the right behaviours easy and the wrong ones hard.
3. Own the Plan
Make decisive, adaptive, and forward-thinking decisions
Leaders must be able to create clarity in uncertainty. This pillar focuses on decision-making, planning under pressure, and aligning teams behind a common purpose. It's about owning outcomes, setting the vision, and staying flexible when plans inevitably change.
Good leaders react. Great leaders plan. Exceptional leaders adapt while staying in command.
