Fredericksburg, Texas

Join The Fivecoat Consulting Group for a high-impact 2.5-day leadership experience based in Fredericksburg, Texas, at the National Museum of the Pacific War. STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP: WORLD WAR II IN THE PACIFIC draws on the decisions and dilemmas of Nimitz, MacArthur, Halsey, Spruance, and Eichelberger to help your team develop sharper alignment, succession strategies, and a broader view of strategic leadership in complex environments.

The Pacific Theater of World War II demanded leadership on a scale and scope unlike anything the U.S. military had faced before. Admirals Chester Nimitz, William Halsey, and Raymond Spruance—alongside Generals Douglas MacArthur and Robert Eichelberger—had to manage sprawling coalitions, delegate with intent, and make time-sensitive decisions amid conflicting priorities and limited information.

STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP: WORLD WAR II IN THE PACIFIC invites teams to explore the contrasting leadership styles of these figures and examine how they built alignment across vast operations, groomed the next generation of leaders, and kept strategy anchored in purpose.

Through case studies and guided discussions, participants reflect on timeless questions: How do leaders maintain cohesion in complex environments? How do you delegate without losing control? What does it mean to think strategically under pressure?

This experience challenges teams to sharpen their thinking, align around shared priorities, and strengthen leadership at every level—all through the lens of one of history’s most dynamic campaigns.
