EISENHOWER & D-DAY
​​Preparation for Leadership

Dwight D. Eisenhower faced a daunting assignment when given command over Allied forces for the D-Day landings in World War II. His team would be made up of experienced commanders (all with more combat experience than Ike) from various military services (Navy, Army, Air Force) and from several nations. How would he ever reach consensus on issues, much less forge a working team? Each nation had its own priorities for recapturing European soil from the Germans, and each military service had its own working style.

This program was designed to help executives build alliances and teams, deal with difficult people, and evaluate their own preparation for leadership roles.

Using powerful movie clips, the program is not dependent on site visits, and can easily be brought to your office or be part of your staff retreat.

RECOMMENDED WORKSHOP LOCATION
