Gettysburg Leadership Experience

During a two-day visit to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, participants immerse themselves in the leadership challenges that faced commanders in these history-changing clashes. This on-the-ground study lets participants see and feel, as no book or mere lecture can, critical dimensions of leadership. They 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.

Participants 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

Ed Ruggero is the historian for this outing and is part of a team of leader-facilitators who will tailor these experiences to meet the needs of your organization. A trip to Gettysburg stimulates thinking and provides an excellent opportunity for leaders to reflect on the lessons and how to apply them.
