Lessons from Eisenhower & D-Day
Tuesday, June 6
6:30 pm
Dwight D. Eisenhower faced a daunting assignment when given command over the Allied forces for the D-Day invasion 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. Each nation had its own priorities for recapturing European soil from the Germans, and each military service had its own working style. The commanders, used to running their own operations, brought towering egos and strong personalities to the new Allied team. How would Ike ever reach consensus on key issues, much less forge a working team for this complex operation?

“We succeed only as we identify in life, or in war, or in anything else, a single overriding objective, and make all other considerations bend to that one objective.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower
