Leadership Lessons from the
Battlefield to the Boardroom
The Robert H. Smith School of Business and the
Gettysburg Foundation have
partnered to co-develop customized leadership programs for executives that integrate the lessons
from Battle of Gettysburg. These intensely experiential programs push
participants to think differently about their individual and organizational
challenges through engagement in action-oriented activities, both on the
battlefield and in the classroom.
As one of the most well-documented and studied battles in American history,
the Battle of Gettysburg offers a rich set of characters, personalities,
decisions and examples of organization that resonate even today in modern
organizations.
Program designs range from two days to one week and are tailored to meet a
specific organization’s needs and talent level. The interactive learning
experience provides participants with the opportunity to build leadership skills
and develop stronger teams. Specific learning objectives may include leadership,
teamwork, conflict management, communication, strategy, and innovation. The
program incorporates a multi-sensory experience including battlefield tours,
lectures, discussion sessions, videos, role-playing, and team exercises, all led
by Smith’s world-leading faculty and a professional guide and executive trainer
from the Gettysburg Foundation.

Greg Hanifee.
