Building a Leadership Pipeline that Lasts

How do you move beyond one-time supervisor training to build leadership capability that lasts? Join WMEP’s Carol Crawford and Kerry’s Deron Poisson for an interactive session focused on practical ways manufacturers can develop leaders at every stage.

Using Kerry’s leadership development journey as a real-world example, Carol and Deron will share how employee input, leadership competencies, Servant Leadership principles, and business needs were used to shape a sustainable development approach.

Through real-world examples, group discussion, and hands-on exercises, participants will explore how to:

1.       Identify and prepare employees with leadership potential
2.       Help new leaders successfully transition from peer to supervisor
3.       Use mentoring and Servant Leadership to reinforce development
4.       Connect leadership development to company values, culture, and business goals
5.       Sustain learning after formal training ends

Takeaway: Participants will leave with practical ideas and a simple framework they can use to assess their current leadership pipeline and identify next steps for strengthening it.
