Battle of Gettysburg
Lead in the future by learning from the past
Against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and extreme global competitiveness, the leadership skills of corporate executives are being challenged as never before. Join us at Gettysburg—your approach to leadership will never be the same. Walk in the footsteps of leaders from history as they engage in this pivotal battle of the Civil War, and discover what causes some to adapt, adjust and triumph, while others falter and fail.
As a participant in this highly interactive program, you will explore leadership decision-making at its most intense on the battlefield sites where the results of a leader’s strengths and weaknesses are immediately apparent. A distinguished military historian and skilled business facilitator will help you draw parallels from the historic struggle that will better equip you to guide your organization through critical times. When you return from Gettysburg, your heightened skills will help you:
- Continuously scan the environment – identify key terrain
- Understand your resources fully
- Allocate available resources to maximize opportunity and mitigate risks
- Choose your leadership location/position appropriately
- Reassess plans periodically based on achievement or changes in deployment
- Clearly communicate both objectives and expectations
- Focus on opportunity in the consideration of risk
