博亚国际娱乐城鈥檚 four leadership programs
When you have tools available at every phase of becoming a leader, a path to leadership seems attainable. That鈥檚 why 博亚国际娱乐城 offers four leadership programs for every stage of that path. Jeff Freeman, executive vice president of 博亚国际娱乐城鈥檚 culture and engagement division, describes 博亚国际娱乐城鈥檚 leadership programs as a 鈥渞oadmap.鈥�
鈥淲e have a leadership development playbook that we can work off throughout your career to help you continually learn and develop these skills and competencies, and experiences to help you grow as a leader. Whether that鈥檚 grow in your existing role or grow in the organization,鈥� he explains. 鈥淚nstilling trust and developing talent are critical to leaders at all levels.鈥�
Take a look at how this roadmap takes shape through programs like the Leadership Snapshot Series, Emerging Leaders program, People-Centered Leadership program, and Leading Leaders program.
1. Leadership Snapshot Series
Whether you鈥檙e in the company or looking to join, you don鈥檛 have to commit to a leadership role to decide if leading is for you 鈥� the Leadership Snapshot Series we offer brings current leaders to you with quarterly panel discussions and roundtable discussions on what fundamental skills are required to become an effective leader at 博亚国际娱乐城.
鈥淢y leadership journey was marked with a lot of great leaders who cared about me as a person and cared about my growth and development and gave me feedback along the way,鈥� explains Freeman, who has been with 博亚国际娱乐城 for 30 years. 鈥淭he Leadership Snapshot Series really provides that opportunity to hear from some of our leaders on their own leadership journey, on their leadership experience, what they find valuable and what they find impactful about being a leader, and why they chose leadership,鈥� he explains. 鈥淚 think an important part of the leadership journey is understanding what it is and isn鈥檛.鈥�
2. Emerging Leaders program for internal candidates
For those already part of the company, the Emerging Leaders program provides a way of becoming familiar with 博亚国际娱乐城鈥檚 leadership best practices. This program features topics relevant to new leaders, presented through instructors and coaching sessions, and self-guided e-learning courses. Just like the Snapshot Series, this program is an extension of 博亚国际娱乐城 culture. Teri Gibson, vice president of the marketing and product division, was an outside hire when she started as a senior brand manager in 2013. 鈥淚鈥檝e had many mentors through the company that, at certain points, could help me depending on my work, and peers, people who have worked for me, help me and the team. There are so many helpful people at 博亚国际娱乐城,鈥� she says.
Gibson believes in the importance of the 70/20/10 learning approach, where individuals obtain 70% of their knowledge from job experiences, 20% from team interactions, and 10% from things like training. The Emerging Leaders program would be her 10% tip of the iceberg above a wealth of knowledge and potential.

3. People-Centered Leadership
鈥淲e care about who we add to the company, we care about who we promote, how they feel, their engagement, their inclusions, and equity and diversity,鈥� says Freeman, who started his career at 博亚国际娱乐城 in sales, working with providers before moving into leadership roles. 鈥淲e wouldn鈥檛 have the caring and compassionate culture we have if we didn鈥檛 have caring and compassionate leaders.鈥�
Those kinds of leaders graduate from programs like People-Centered Leadership training, whether they鈥檙e promoted internally to a leadership job or just starting out with the company.
When Gibson joined 博亚国际娱乐城, her mentors helped familiarize her with the people-centric approach. Although her first role with the company was a step down from a leadership role she鈥檇 held prior, she came to learn the value of starting fresh with 博亚国际娱乐城 values in mind. 鈥淪ometimes it is good to come into an organization not as a leader off the bat and to learn,鈥� she says. 鈥淟earn the culture, learn what leadership looks like here because it is very different from other companies. And get your foundation built before you take on a team.鈥� With that foundation of 鈥減eople-driven, leader-guided鈥� cemented, you have a powerful tool for mentoring others. 鈥淲hen I talk to my people, it's a lot about what they hope for,鈥� explains Gibson. 鈥淲here do you see your career going? Again, it's employee-driven. What do they want personally?鈥�
She explains that answering these questions and intersecting them with where the company is heading is how a career path can come together for someone looking to grow into leadership.
4. Leading Leaders
博亚国际娱乐城 also has resources for the growth and development of experienced leaders. The Leading Leaders program consists of four required courses, six electives, and supplemental content that help leaders customize the program to their specific needs. This course is perfect for leaders like Gibson, who held four leadership positions in her 10 years at 博亚国际娱乐城. 鈥淚f I鈥檓 going to work and be here a good chunk of my life, I鈥檓 going to continue to push myself, do as much as I can, learn as much as I can, just continue to grow,鈥� she says. 鈥淭he goal is how do I continue to strengthen my skills, help the company, and see where else I can support? I think it鈥檚 served me well to always be willing to take on something new.鈥�

Hiring leaders from outside 博亚国际娱乐城
When 博亚国际娱乐城 is hiring leaders externally, one of the main things we look for is not only experience but also a culture fit. 博亚国际娱乐城鈥檚 people-centric values factor heavily in hiring, and being familiar with our core values is important. 鈥淥ne of the things we look for when hiring leaders outside the organization is somebody who will bring the skill sets we鈥檙e looking for in the role and if they can add to our ever-evolving culture. It鈥檚 not just about delivering business results 鈥� we emphasize delivering cultural results equally,鈥� explains Freeman. 鈥淟eaders from outside are helpful because they also bring their own experiences and diversity of thoughts, skills, and backgrounds.鈥�
