Leadership Development

Our approach to change leadership is simple: removing obstacles to enhance productivity, positioning team members as strategic partners, and addressing their personal needs. We focus on fostering a deep appreciation for company values, promoting mutual respect, and committing to continuous learning, where leaders are open to being trained by their team, thereby fostering reciprocal development and collaboration.

  • "In the days ahead, my job is to remove the roadblocks for you guys that have slowed our process and reduced productivity. And put your in your rightful position as a strategic partner to our customers. In addition to that, we’re taking extraordinary care to relieving the extra burdens you have that prevent you from delivering for each and every client at your maximum and best, so that we can become the example of all the agencies and a beacon of hope for those who look for a roadmap on how to join this eCommerce revolution. I’m as interested in our processes and our productivity as I am about your needs as human beings. Our talent will have a deep appreciation for the values of the company and the value of the team. Those are the things that are important to growth in terms of our values. Because that’s the glue. And, as part of that, I look forward to you training me to be the best leader I can be for you."

  • That is an excerpt is taken from one of the Academy's Authentic Moments, capturing this CFO's real words and insights from an annual state of the company speech at the start of the pandemic in 2020. That year, that CFO grew the bottom line by 10.54x year over year. It underscores a fundamental principle of the approach to leadership development at The Academy: removing obstacles that hinder team productivity and positioning team members as strategic partners to customers and team members. It emphasizes the importance of addressing both process efficiency and the personal needs of team members, ensuring they can perform at their best. Leadership development involves appreciating the company's values and the value of the team, fostering a culture of growth and mutual respect. Additionally, it includes a commitment to continuous learning, where leaders are open to being trained and improved by their team, highlighting the importance of reciprocal development and collaboration.
