A Revamped Start to the Program

This year, the LEaD Program began with an exciting change: the team hosted Customer Service Week as their first project. Traditionally held mid-program or at the end, this early project encouraged immediate collaboration and team bonding. Despite initial skepticism, this approach proved to be a catalyst for the participants to quickly get to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses, fostering a strong sense of camaraderie from the outset.

Comprehensive Leadership Modules

The LEaD Program, established in 2018, aims to nurture leadership capabilities and support Fleet Response’s mission of providing best-in-class services. The curriculum for this year’s program included the following modules:

  • Time Management/Delegation
  • Coaching/Feedback/Interviewing Skills
  • Relationship Building/Communication
  • Our Brand/Professional Presence
  • Managing Results/Change Management/Critical Thinking
  • Presentation Skills/Business Reviews
  • Finance & Risk Management

Notably, the addition of Business Reviews to the modules was a direct response to feedback from the previous year’s participants. This inclusion ensures that the program remains dynamic and responsive to the evolving needs of its future leaders.

The Journey and the Achievement

Throughout the program, participants engaged in diverse activities aimed at enhancing their leadership capabilities. From mastering time management and delegation to honing their presentation skills, the graduates have demonstrated remarkable growth and commitment.

Noel Donato, LEaD Program Coordinator, shared her thoughts on this year’s graduates: “This group has shown exceptional dedication and resilience. Their ability to collaborate and adapt to new challenges has been truly inspiring. I am confident they will continue to excel and make significant contributions to Fleet Response.”

“The LEaD Program is about more than just developing skills; it’s about fostering a mindset of continuous improvement and leadership,” stated Zak Etela, LEaD Program Coordinator. “ Seeing how this group has embraced this philosophy has been incredibly rewarding.”

As they step forward, these new graduates are well-equipped to lead with confidence, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Their journey through the LEaD Program has not only prepared them for leadership roles within Fleet Response but also empowered them to make significant contributions to the industry as a whole.
