Executive Leadership Programs

In one of a kind initiative, the Robert H Smith Business School and the Gettysburg Foundation have partnered to develop customized Executive leadership programs, incorporating the lessons learned from the Battle of Gettysburg.

The Battle of Gettysburg was the Battle with the largest number of causalities in the Civil War History. The Battle showcased the leadership styles of two leaders – Robert E. Lee and George G. Meade. Lee used aggression to win wars even at the cost of causalities. He had an undying faith in his team’s ability, which made him complacent with planning. Meade on the other hand focused on efficiently managing the resources and relied on his subordinates to make critical decisions.

Inspired by many lessons and leaders from the Battle, the Executive Leadership Program will force participants to think differently about challenges in action-oriented sessions.

Duration: Two days to one week
