France: The Normandy Leadership Experience

Critical Leadership Lessons for Today's Executives


France: July 27 until July 31, 2010


The Normandy Leadership Experience brings participants to the site of one of the world's great military operations—the 1944 Allied liberation of France—to learn timeless lessons on leadership.

June 6, 1944 By the time Brigadier General Norm Cota came ashore on Omaha Beach, the American attack was faltering. Initial assault waves had suffered hundreds of casualties. Seasick survivors were packed tightly behind limited cover as German defenders poured fire on them.

Cota faced the ultimate test of a combat leader: get terrified men moving through the killing field to attack an entrenched and determined enemy. The story of how Norm Cota and countless other D-Day leaders accomplished this mission is a lesson in leadership, and it is just one of the many vivid examples we'll bring to life as we delve into why some leaders succeed—even under tremendous pressure—and others fail.

Modeled on a technique used to train U. S. Army officers in leadership and decision-making, the experience lets participants see and feel, as no history book or mere lecture can, the challenges that faced commanders in World War Two's pivotal battle in the West. We provide the historical background and facilitate in-depth discussion to reach a deep understanding of "leadership in action." Executives leave excited about their opportunities to be better leaders and armed with battle-tested tools they can use immediately.
