Solution
Candidates were nominated by the president to participate in the course, which originated at the director and vice president level. From there the effort moved across the company from first-time, front-line managers to middle management, and more. These five-day, interactive courses designed and developed by Stewart Leadership were known throughout the organization as the following Institutes:
- The Lockheed Supervisors Institutes
- The Lockheed Management Institutes
- The Lockheed Advanced Management Institutes
- The Lockheed Executive Institutes
- The Lockheed Senior Executive Institute
Stewart Leadership utilized 360-degree assessments where the composite scores were used to design a customized curriculum for a particular cohort. Interactive and applied learning were utilized throughout these leadership development programs, along with individualized one-on-one development plans.
