Leadership Lessons from Eisenhower & D-Day

×

Expand

Dwight D. Eisenhower faced a daunting assignment when given command over Allied forces for the D-Day landings in World War II.  His team would be made up of experienced commanders (all with more combat experience than Ike) from various military services (navy, army, air force) and from several nations.  How would he ever reach consensus on issues, much less forge a working team?  Each nation had its own priorities for recapturing European soil from the Germans, and each military service had its own working style.  And do we need to mention the towering egos involved?

This program focuses on how you can organize your team and build consensus among differing views as you adjust to a workplace filled with change and demands from all sides.
