Program Description

This explosively powerful multimedia experience will forever enhance your insight into leadership, followership and organizational effectiveness. History becomes a metaphor and the battlefields of the Gettysburg National Military Park a classroom as leadership- in a rapidly changing, stressful environment, with limited information and limited resources - is examined. These challenges were present in 1863 are present in your organization today.

Sessions focus on the use of the actionable concepts of transactionaltransformational, and anticipatory leadership, the importance of followership, participation in a leadership measurement instrument with personalized feedback, application of aproblem solving model, team building exercises, and extensive application of these and other leadership concepts to situations and challenges unique to the IG community.

Steven B. Wiley - "The best speaker you've never heard of"- ABC News - leads you on this journey that has positively impacted the bottom lines of his clients by millions of dollars. USA Today/Gannett calls it "The most powerful performance training available."

With 70% of US employees saying that they are "not engaged" or "actively disengaged" at work with the number one reason being the quality of their leadership, this session is one that every leader in the IG community needs to experience.
