The military has long utilized battlefield reviews, commonly referred to as ‘Staff Rides,’ as a means to develop their leaders. Staff rides are a unique method of conveying the lesson of the past to present-day leaders, both military and private sector, for current application. EF Battlefield Review – Gettysburg is a two-day tour of a historic battlefield.

Participants walk through key successive battlefield locations (known as “stands”) where they receive an overview of the historical situation from a subject matter expert. The EF Team will then facilitate a discussion regarding the leadership theme related to current business challenges and implement practical application exercises to help participants understand how to implement the leadership principles on their own battlefield — limited to 40 participants. 

The experience is intended to bring to life, on the very terrain where historic encounters took place, examples, applicable today as in the past, of leadership tactics and strategy, communications, use of terrain, and, above all, the psychology of all people, in battle, business, and life.
