Item Description

The Gettysburg Leadership Experience brings executives to the Civil War battlefield to learn timeless lessons on leadership. Now you can experience what CEO's and their top teams have found so compelling and gain new insights and new ideas on...

  • How leaders can make the right calls amid murky, ill-defined conditions, incomplete information and high pressure

  • The intricacies of decision-making in very large organizations, and how culture affects what's possible

  • How successful leaders share their vision for success and reduce the possibility of misinterpretation

  • How leaders develop imagination and courage in themselves and others

  • Why character is a central element of leadership

Through on-the-ground study of the leadership challenges facing commanders in the largest battle ever fought in North America, participants learn practical, usable lessons-about team building, morale and courage, dealing with ambiguity, effective communication, and the execution of strategic intent-that will benefit their organizations today.

Modeled on the U.S. Army Staff Ride, a technique used to train officers in leadership and decision-making, the experience lets participants see and feel, as no history book or mere lecture can, the challenges that faced commanders during three pivotal days in our history. Our experienced team of leader-facilitators uses stories of key leadership moments to bring to life in vivid detail lessons of leadership in action. Executives leave excited about their opportunities to be better leaders and armed with battle-tested tools they can use immediately.
