Ox Hill Leadership Tours, LLC

For the one-day seminar, we provide bus service to and from your work location (or other designated location), bus service around the battlefield, lunch, snacks, drinks, educational materials and maps. 

A typical seminar at Gettysburg National Battlefield Park would include seven to eight stops around the battlefield covering all phases of the battle of Gettysburg.  At each stop brief historical overviews are provided and several leadership lessons are discussed and applied to 21st century leadership challenges.  These themes include making sound decisons on time, dealing with difficult subordinates, staying calm under pressure, communicating clearly and effectively, and maintaining good morale.

For the two-day seminar, we provide bus service to and from your work location, bus service to and from the hotel, information on hotels, two lunches, one dinner, one breakfast, evening "classroom style" seminar, snacks, drinks, educational materials and maps. 

The two-day seminar features two days on the battlefield as outlined above in the one-day seminar, but also time in a classroom-style follow-up sessions that include:
 

• Problem-solving discussions designed to address group-specific challenges designed to take the leadership lessons discussed on day one and apply them to real life actions to address work place challenges.
   

• Role playing exercises in which participants are divided into several teams and given historical life or death decisions faced by Civil War leaders.  Teams are given several different solutions, are required to select one (there are no wrong answers) and justify their decision based on core leadership principles.
   

• Further in-depth, interactive discussion of leadership principles and their real-life applications utilizing a range of leadership lessons from history and real-life experience.
   

• Leadership skits designed to get participants to work in teams to applu lessons learned on the battlefield to real-life challenges in the 21st century workplace.

Interactive Classroom Workshops

For those instances in which it is not possible or practical to get participants to a battlefield, Ox Hill Leadership Tours provides professional instructors to conduct interactive workshops at a specific location of the client's choosing.  The shorter workshops (e.g half-day) are perfect for a conference or retreat.  These classroom workshops feature a "leadership under fire" presentation which mirrors our field seminar, as well as role playing exercises, video clips, development of short and long-term self-improvement and organizational improvement plans, leadership skits and roundtable discussions on challenges in the work place.

Ox Hill's classroom workshops are tailored and customized to the specific leadership challenges facing the participants.  One of the goals is to get participants to not only gain insight from the leadership lessons but to provide concrete steps to put the lessons into action in the work environment.
