Learn Leadership Lessons From the Civil War at the 2004 OPEN MINDS Executive Leadership Institute

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania (June 28, 2004) – Taking on a leadership role today is a constant race against change. You need to stay one step ahead of the trends…strive to develop new strategies and keep ahead of the crowd. It’s up to you to ensure your department, team, or organization is on track for success.

Many agree that the battle at Gettysburg was the most important battle in one of the most traumatic wars in U.S. history. What many do not know is that the battle was not fought near the town of Gettysburg; it was fought in the town of Gettysburg. Soldiers and civilians faced drastic differences in their lives between one day and the next; and all had to find ways to adapt in order to survive. Many extraordinary leaders were forged in this conflict.

Understanding how the people involved in this battle survived those changes may allow you to put the trauma your organization is experiencing from your current organizational change initiative into an entirely different perspective. This brand new institute will combine current best practices for facilitating and managing organizational change with a unique historical perspective on leadership under stress that you can only experience here – in Gettysburg – in the midst of the battlefields. This two-day event will be held July 28-29, 2004 at the Best Western Gettysburg Hotel in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Nationally recognized speakers featured at the institute include:

  • Monica E. Oss, President of OPEN MINDS
  • John F. Talbot, Ph.D., OPEN MINDS Advisory Board Member and President of Colorado Care Management
  • Lawrence P. Taylor, Former U.S. Ambassador to Estonia and a founding partner of The Gettysburg Leadership Experience
  • William E. Rosenbach, Ph.D., Evans Professor of Eisenhower Leadership Studies, Professor of Management at Gettysburg College, and a founding partner of The Gettysburg Leadership Experience
