BMF launches new leadership development programme
Talent Development is the BMF’s new leadership and team development
programme to help builders’ merchants to grow existing and future
leaders.
The BMF has linked with PGS Team to deliver this exciting programme,
which can be tailored for individual merchant and supplier businesses.
The programme has been honed over the last 12 years, during which time
PGS Team has built a leadership and high performance team building
practice that specialises in building resilience and elite behaviour in
business leaders.
Talent Development takes a ‘whole systems approach’. This considers
the links between three crucial elements – business results, team
performance and individual growth. At times these elements are
considered independently, at others the focus is on how they overlap.
Richard Ellithorne, BMF’s Membership Services Director said: “A lot of
businesses and organisations concentrate their people development on
product and technical knowledge. They promote the people who are best at
this into team leaders or management positions without giving much
consideration to the support they will need in their new role.
Leadership Development turns that idea on its head and provides a more
focused development plan that challenges people to maximise their
potential.”
Kevin Parr, MD of PGS Team added: “We believe that each individual
progressing into a leadership role should be given the best possible
chance of success and that means a tailor made programme for personal
development. We specifically look at an individual’s ability to lead in
change and uncertainty.”
Rawle Gammon and Baker Holdings Ltd (RGB) has already experienced the
dramatic difference that the Talent Development programme can make.
Kevin Fenlon, RGB’s CEO said: “Talent Development has inspired even
higher levels of sustained engagement and enthusiasm within RGB. In the
competitive market that we operate in, it is great to work with
somebody who understands the diversity and challenges of our industry.”
