The Transition into Leadership curriculum was designed to:
Introduce the best ideas and practices in leadership today
Identify the significant differences between leadership and management
Determine the participants own leadership strengths and areas for improvement
Develop and practice sound leadership skills and abilities
Learn "best practices" through close affiliation with other Cargill leaders
Communicate effectively and reinforce, mission, goals, and vision
Take accountability for business results and team member development
Embrace change and challenge the comfort zone of team members
Cargill's leadership development program places great importance on their employees and know that they are the key part of a successful future. As a result they seek the best programs in order to create development opportunities for their employees and leaders around the world.
Cargill selected CMOE to partner with them in the development and implementation of the Transition into Leadership program.
