About this event

What does it take to lead when the stakes are high, the information is incomplete, and failure is not an option? Join EO Atlanta for an extraordinary leadership experience with retired 2 Star Major General Julian Dale Alford, who will share hard-earned leadership lessons forged through decades of leading Marines.

  • This isn't a history lesson. It's a conversation about leadership when it matters most, and how those same principles apply directly to leading a growing business.
  • General Alford will explore how great leaders build teams that execute, create a culture of accountability and ownership, and make difficult decisions with incomplete information.
  • Develop leaders who can think and act independently, establish standards that hold under pressure, and build trust throughout an organization.
  • Adapt when the plan meets reality, learn from failure, and turn experience into better execution.
  • Most importantly, translate battlefield-tested principles directly to entrepreneurial challenges: How do we build organizations that can win without everything depending on us?
  • Expect powerful stories, candid leadership lessons, and a highly interactive conversation about what it really means to lead.
  • Battlefield lessons. Business application. Leadership that performs under pressure.
