Leadership Destination: Chattanooga

Featuring the Chickamauga National Military Park

"Two competing organizations, each of well over 50,000, both doing their level best to out-lose each other. And amidst it all, one of the highest-performance, intrapreneurial teams we've ever seen, consistently making the right thing happen the right way, at the right time. "

- Steven McCloud - Founder, Trident Leadership

Weight of Command

Battle for Coordination

Communicating to Win

Decentralized Decision-Making

Certainly you've heard of them...organizations that generate more chaos than action, their people keeping their heads down, not daring to show initiative they know will not be tolerated. Their daily lives are constrained by obedience and compliance rather than winning or achieving. But once a quarter, those buzzwords reappear, even though everyone knows there is no operational plan to actually achieve it...to actually create anything resembling a state of coordination.

Then there is that extraordinarily uncommon team -- lightning in a bottle -- that team that seemingly will not be undone. Its lucky people actually love working together and being part of something everyone knows is special -- even those outside the team, who ask, "Why can't we all be like that? Compliance and competencies certainly aren't going to do it."

Now boarding, for Trident's...Leadership Destination: Chickamauga!
