The battle for Shiloh in April 1862 was one of the first major engagements in the Western Theater of the Civil War.  Untested troops and untested leaders find themselves in a catastrophic incident that shocks the populace of both the Union and the Confederacy with over 23,000 casualties between the three armies involved.  This two-day staff ride is used as part of the National Staff Ride Workshop program.  

​LEARNING OUTCOMES: 

+ Leaders evaluate the maturity of their organizations, and share ideas for developing resilient cultures through education and training. 

+  Leaders discuss succession planning, reconnaissance pull, reinforcing failure, and bringing victory out of defeat.
​
+ Leaders  learn more about how their colleagues feel, think, frame problems, and communicate their decisions into action.

+ Teams build cohesion and a common shared experience in evaluating leaders from the past, while broadening their vocabulary and knowledge of various leadership styles.
