The design and implementation of a leadership development program for Greenheck Fan Corporation

Abstract

The purpose of this field problem was to design and implement a leadership development program for Greenheck Fan Corporation. Consistent growth over the prior five years and aggressive growth projections created leadership opportunities throughout the organization. A corporate culture that supports promotions from within and a projected workforce labor shortage required development of the skills of existing employees to fill emerging leadership roles. This leadership development program defines the competencies necessary to be an effective leader at Greenheck; outlines a procedure for selection of employees to participate in the program, and defines employee development methodologies.
