TURNING POINT: LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG

Hold the High Ground.
Lead with Vision.

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Join The Fivecoat Consulting Group for an immersive executive leadership experience at Gettysburg, where leadership, communication, and decision-making determined the fate of a nation. TURNING POINT: LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG brings your leadership team into the fields, hills, and orchards where commanders faced complex, high-stakes challenges under intense pressure.

The Battle of Gettysburg was the turning point of the American Civil War—and a crucible of leadership under the highest stakes. Over three intense days in July 1863, Union and Confederate commanders faced rapidly shifting conditions, incomplete information, and the weight of national consequence. Decisions made here shaped the course of American history.

TURNING POINT: LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG immerses your team in this defining moment, using the battlefield as a living classroom to explore critical leadership themes: making tough calls under pressure, adapting in uncertainty, managing limited resources, and uniting people with diverse perspectives behind a common goal.

Through guided walks across key sites like Little Round Top, Cemetery Ridge, and Seminary Ridge, participants examine how leadership, communication, and accountability influenced the outcome of the battle—and how those same principles apply to modern organizations navigating complexity and change.

This experience isn’t about memorizing tactics or troop movements. It’s about standing on the ground where history was made and drawing out timeless insights about courage, clarity, and leading when it matters most.
