Every organization has those individuals who, regardless of their title, are the "go-to" people to gauge the pulse of the organization. They spearhead a change in processing or culture or guide a new employee through the training process. Such individuals usually provide an integral role as influencers and implementers through the organization. Investing in the development of these individuals recognizes their leadership potential and refines the skills they need to make your company a world-class organization.
