LEADERSHIP
LINAMAR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (LLDP 1 & 2)
We know that strong, purposeful leadership is required to drive our success, which is why we provide our leaders with the best practices that help them to plan, communicate, and execute in a way that demonstrates passion and edge. Our LLDP programs address critical leadership skills at each level of the organization. These programs are grounded in Linamar’s Core Values and Leadership Behaviors and focus on essential outcomes.
The LLDP programs use an experiential model of development that promotes self-awareness and skill enhancement, while having fun. Key learnings are internalized through the creation of action/coaching plans that drive accountability for improvement. A fundamental belief is that leaders share the responsibility to live the program outcomes within themselves and their teams in order to achieve a high degree of success.
We know that leadership is about getting things done through others, so we give our leaders the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to cultivate loyalty and commitment in their people.
Great leaders, you’ll find them here!
