Course description
Chickamauga Leadership Program
The Battle of Chickamauga provides a strong framework from which to discuss how leaders view, plan, and mobilize around a strategic focal point. At stake was the important rail-hub city of Chattanooga, which if captured by the Union could create a “Gateway to Atlanta” and further cripple or kill the Confederacy.
Selected leadership competencies for the Chickamauga Leadership Program are:
- The importance of creating alignment
- Instilling initiative and innovation
- Monitoring execution while driving empowerment
- Communicating effectively in a rapidly evolving environment
Case studies of the situations and the leading participants engaged at the Battle of Chickamauga provide a strongly evocative context within which to examine leadership from the participants’ perspective as it relates to their own company or work team.

Training content
The September 1863 Battle of Chickamauga (in northwest Georgia) provides a rich metaphor for exploring the leadership skills required to survive and succeed in today’s business environment. During three days in mid-September, the engagements between a Confederate force totaling nearly 67,000 and a Union force totaling approximately 57,000 evolved into complex operations that were fought over challenging terrain. Added to this were the interpersonal tensions and stylistic shortcomings among the Confederate high command in the face of fragmented initiative and the ambiguous direction of Union forces.
