SANAD — LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (LDP)
The Worldwide College of Business recently collaborated with The SANAD Group, a global aerospace engineer, MRO and leasing business, to enhance SANAD’s Leadership Development Program. The year long program was built around four key pillars: know yourself, grow yourself, know your business and grow your business.
s Know Yourself We created a unique and proprietary benchmark process that compares one’s abilities against a set of norms or standards, as well as a feedback process that helps developing leaders understand how peers, supervisors and subordinates perceive their leadership skills (e.g., strengths and weaknesses, etc.). s Know Your Business This phase has students working on a year-long project that requires them to study every aspect of their organization. In addition, topical areas are taught by a diverse group of faculty in areas like project management, accounting, finance, analytics, evidence-based management, high performance teaming, performance management, high reliability organizations and more. This section of the learning process connects learning concepts to functional areas of SANAD’s business to help students grow from technical or department level experts to a deep understanding of SANAD as a business.
s Grow Yourself During the required monthly individual coaching calls, certified coaches helped move participants towards their individual leadership goals and create a personalized growth plan. Coaching is a major part of this initiative and our certified coaches met often with student as individuals, in small groups and in large groups to ensure each person is moving forward in their personal leadership journey.
s Grow Your Business The SANAD participants chose a project focused
on enhancing customer satisfaction, improving turnaround times, strengthening quality control and reducing returned parts. These savings and efficiencies result in better inventory management and overall benefits to the customer experience — a win for all involved. The participants worked diligently for nearly one year to draft this project, collect data, interview department heads, observe processes and craft ways to improve business processes.
