HR Happy Hour – Episode 51 – ‘Live from Gettysburg’

Thursday June 24, 2010 – 8PM EDT

Gettysburg. For most Americans, and students of military history the name alone conjures up thoughts of devastating battle, loss, heartbreak, and ultimately redemption.

The scene of a terrible and significant three day battle in the American Civil War and the setting for one of the most famous political speeches in history, Lincoln’s legendary Gettysburg Address.

Learning more about the battle, and the leaders on both sides of the field offers important lessons – not just in military tactics, but in leadership of organizations and of people. What drove the best leaders on the field that day? What did they possess that compelled men to hurl themselves into incredibly dangerous situations simply to follow them? Where did they go wrong – after all many thousands of brave soldiers never returned from Gettysburg.

The HR Happy Hour show is pleased to broadcast live from Gettysburg as a guest of the Conference Board’s Gettysburg Leadership Development Experience.

Join us with some very special guests as we talk history, leadership, courage, and even a bit of tragedy – live from Gettysburg.
