Leadership Development Program, and why I am signed up to join the next class, which kicks off on April 4th. We want to be able to better support you and your goals, while developing our own skills. We’ve heard how powerful the program can be from people who have been through it – including several members of the MRAA Young Leaders Advisory Council and the recipients of the MRAA Educational Foundation’s Duane Spader Scholarship – and we know our team will benefit from it too. 

“I never thought I could learn so much in three days,” said Mary Jo Goettling of Blue Springs Marine, who received the 2014 Duane Spader Scholarship. “And the stuff that we’re learning is so hands-on applicable.”

The program consists of five three-day educational workshops, plus hands-on homework assignments that have you putting what you learn to work in your business. While it has proven attractive to many young leaders with their sights set on running their own dealership someday, participants come from a wide range of generations and roles. 

The next course starts in just a few weeks, and I’m fired up to be a part of it. I hope you’ll consider sending someone from your team to join me. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your own skills, or you’re looking to build up the leadership capabilities of your star players, there’s my better time than the present to invest in the future of your business.
