The Kennesaw Mountain Leadership Experience transforms today’s leaders through the compelling lessons of one of the Civil War’s most decisive campaigns. Battlefield Leadership facilitators leverage the Atlanta Campaign’s critical turning point to demonstrate how leaders navigate strategic deadlock, manage calculated risk, and drive organizational transformation. During this program, we examine the clash between two brilliant military minds—Sherman and Johnston—and extract powerful insights for modern leadership challenges. This experience will equip your team to break through organizational stalemates and achieve breakthrough results when conventional approaches fail.
The Battle of Kennesaw Mountain represents a pivotal moment where strategic patience met aggressive action, where defensive excellence confronted offensive determination. Your team will explore how Sherman’s bold decision to assault fortified positions—though tactically unsuccessful—ultimately achieved strategic victory by forcing Confederate withdrawal. Participants will discover how Johnston masterfully revitalized a demoralized army while managing upward with a hostile superior, and how both leaders’ contrasting styles offer complementary lessons for today’s complex business environment. This program demonstrates how leaders must balance persistence with adaptation, showing when to maintain course and when to pivot toward new approaches.
