Challenge:
Much of Fred Weber’s aging knowledge capital was lost due to retirement at a time when the company made major acquisitions to increase its revenues. The new management coming up through the ranks lacked necessary leadership training and skills.

Solution:
Dale Carnegie’s Leadership Training for Managers offered the right balance of team-building, principles-based learning, and practical skills development that helped the company achieve a unified managerial vision. Individuals from across the company were placed in an environment where they were forced to communicate and learn from one another.

Results:
New innovation projects, not been previously considered, revealed opportunities for revenue streams, one of which resulted in cost savings of over $2 million. In a one-year period of intense growth, 76 employees assumed new managerial responsibilities. With a new generation of leaders, Weber is once again poised for growth.

"I can't say enough about what this process has done for our company. Through the formality and structure of the course, we gained the ability to ensure that we were all pursuing common goals. To have the entire organization aligned behind our chairman's vision is powerful and results in outstanding rewards for our employees and our shareholders."
