Gettysburg Leadership Workshop

This event qualifies for 12 CPEs

Travel to a Historical Destination and Study Real Leadership Examples in a Very Different Time and Place

Success in government can be measured in a number of ways and can be impacted by several factors. However, the one decisive factor in any successful endeavor is leadership. Strong and decisive leadership brings all of the other factors together and is the one indispensable component that can make the difference between success and failure - greatness and mediocrity. No matter what agency you work in, you inevitably will be faced with a situation in which you have to make a decision. Whether you are managing four people, forty people, or forty thousand people, the decisions you make and your ability to lead will have a significant impact on those you lead and those you serve.

The Gettysburg Leadership Retreat will take management professionals and get them out of the office and into a totally different setting that will allow them to focus on their leadership challenges by studying real examples in a very different time and place. This is achieved by using the lessons and stories from the American Civil War’s Battle of Gettysburg which took place on July 1-3, 1863.
