How can the Manufacturers Alliance help?
If the above attributes sound like someone in your team that you would like to invest in, we have a new rising stars peer groups launching, where we intend to bring highly capable talent into the room together to educate them in modern leadership techniques and support them through their fast-tracked advancement within the business. It will be a pragmatic approach that works with the challenges and aspirations in the room and supports people with the real-life situations they are working with.
On 29th July, 9:00am – 4:00pm we will be running our first free taster for the new Peer Group to Support Rising Stars. This group will run similarly to our existing peer groups and will support the fast tracking of highly capable up and coming talent into leadership roles.
