Leadership Skills
One of our vehicles for leadership training is our Gettysburg Leadership Experience. Gettysburg was the turning point in the Civil War, a war that was our true American Revolution. In a battle that was perhaps the one battle with the highest stakes, leaders on both sides had to make crucial decisions under pressure. Through interactive scenarios and experiential exercises, your team will have the opportunity to put leadership into practice! You and your team will learn critical lessons like speaking truth to power, building trust, clear communication techniques, strategic thinking, and how staying on top of new technology can be the key difference between winning and losing.
