🎙 Fresh Episode!

S03E04 | James Jensen - Why leadership is a profession, not a position. How K6 leadership consulting was born from a lifetime of service at the pointy end of the SASR.

James Jensen is a former SAS Patrol Commander with 20 years in the Australian Defence Force, including 14 years in the Special Air Service Regiment (SAS). He led teams on multiple combat tours across Afghanistan, Iraq, East Timor, and the Philippines, gaining firsthand insight into the power—and consequences—of leadership in high-pressure environments. Today, as the founder of K6 Consulting, James helps organisations unlock leadership potential, applying lessons from elite military operations to real-world business and team dynamics.

In this episode, James shares his unique leadership journey: completing four years of officer training but choosing to serve as a soldier first, testing leadership theory from the ground up without “handrails.” He discusses how this experience reshaped his understanding of what effective leadership really is, and how he now combines behavioural science, psychology, and practical experience to build leadership programs that develop professional, resilient, and high-performing teams.
