Leaders of Character, Competence, and Courage: 3C Leaders
The cases of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (Civil War), LT Dick Winters (WW II), and Ms. Julie Moore (wife of a Vietnam battalion commander who coerced the Army into changing the approach to the notification of next of kin in the case of combat death) are examined to amplify the dimensions of leadership related to credibility, composure, persistence and trustworthiness, which are so crucial to effective leadership under pressure.
Testimonials
I would like to express my personal thanks to you for your role in our Gettysburg Leadership Experience. The way you presented the battlefield was exceptional. Your knowledge of the events and differing leadership approaches made the training experience a great success.
Mark A. Nishan Chief of Staff Comptroller of the Currency Administrator of National BanksAs always, you captured the minds and hearts of all who participated in the Leadership Experience. Your status in the lore of PHH urban legend continues to grow. I truly appreciate all you've done to further my leadership development and that of a growing number of leaders here at PHH.
Kevin C. Parker Vice President Business Development PHH ArvalThere is no better feeling for a champion of corporate learning than when a creative leadership development program makes an important difference for the organization AND wins over the skeptics. Battlefield Leadership is such a success story for General Mills. We first used Cole and Rich for one of our major division leadership teams. While some leaders were excited to use history and battles as a learning tool, others here weren’t so sure. But history came alive for all members of the team that week and it made a powerful impact on individuals and the working team. Since then numerous teams have sought out the Battlefield experience and we have an ongoing demand for this offering. I can highly recommend this program and also greatly value the partnership with the principal consultants.
