How do you develop leaders and improve your bottom line? Take The Leadership Challenge®!

Five years ago, Fifth Third Bank, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, was on the front of a series of acquisitions that would result in their employee base growing from 5,000 to 19,000. Lauris Woolford, VP of Executive Development, came to Fifth Third understanding what that growth was going to mean for leadership development within her new company. "We knew from past experience that management was simply not enough." Such quick and tremendous growth would call for a larger group of high potential employees and greater bench strength; requiring the need for a new set of leadership competencies. The program adopted by the Bancorp was The Leadership Challenge® Workshop, based on the book written by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner.
