Helping Catherine Hershey Schools Sharpen Leadership Skills, Culture
The leadership at the Catherine Hershey Schools for Early Learning have ambitious plans. Opening six early learning centers in a few years. Going from a small group to perhaps 500-600 when all the centers are open.
The organization chose to be very intentional about the growth, laying the groundwork by building trust and fashioning a shared culture. The goal was to be responsive to employee feedback in establishing its culture and preparing new and existing leaders for our ambitious goals and growth.
Even more important was the responsibility of living up to the humanitarian legacy of the organization’s namesake, Catherine Hershey, late wife of the famous chocolatier and a noted philanthropist herself.
To address some of these cultural and leadership issues, the school recently launched the Catherine Hershey Schools Leadership Academy as part of a collaborative effort with training experts and facilitators at Dame Leadership. The program focuses on offering and practicing usable tools and ideas that participants can apply immediately. Key topics include establishing a culture, leadership, and building trust.
