Gettysburg Leadership Experience

Testimonials

What a great team learning experience this was. Ed is a creative teacher and storyteller who linked the lessons of a one hundred and fifty year old battle to our job as leaders of bringing the organization's goals into sharp focus and inspiring our people to achieve them. This was a great team building and leadership development exercise and one of the best investments in learning we have made. Plus it was a fun experience. I highly recommend this program.

Thank you for an inspiring and exceptionally worthwhile training experience. Your ability to tailor the leadership tenets and decision logic arising from a nineteenth century battlefield to the unique issues confronting our twenty-first century agency was simply amazing. My entire management team, from the most junior to our most experienced veteran, continues to rave about the quality of the course, and I see on a daily basis a distinct and positive impact on our directorate. I have already recommended your program with enthusiasm to a number of my federal law enforcement colleagues interested in raising the leadership bar within their own agencies.

Reading about great leaders like Colonel Joshua Chamberlain is instructive. But standing in the wind on Little Round Top and listening to Ed weave the story of Chamberlain’s creativity and courage was riveting and intense. My senior leadership team has brought that intensity back to the office where they’re tackling our business and leadership challenges with fresh ideas and energy. Thank you so much for delivering an excellent program that is paying off for our business.

Thanks for doing such a great job of energizing our senior leadership team. Your story telling humanized the Gettysburg experience and demonstrated the far-reaching consequences, both positive and negative, of varying leadership styles. The follow up session was instrumental in helping us to focus on creating and fine-tuning our own personal leadership philosophy.

I loved the opportunity to explore the decision making of the leaders in the war, to look at what they were thinking, the mistakes they made and the successes they achieved. This helped me understand where I can fail in the 'heat of battle' within my organization.

A hands on leadership lesson based upon historical events. It was fun, entertaining and powerful. Well organized and presented, it really makes one think about their personal style of leadership.
