GROWING OUR Leaders

When leaders thrive, their teams thrive, too. At DFA, we’re dedicated to growing our leaders through exciting personal development programs.

“There is a direct relationship between people’s sense of engagement on a job and the level of productivity that they bring to the table,” says Lj Haney, senior director of talent and organizational development. “What makes an employee feel engaged is largely related to the leadership they receive. Programs like Leadership Essentials are all about developing leaders in the Cooperative, which leads to an engaged culture.”

This is a training program designed to develop leadership and professional skills for leaders within DFA. They receive live, instructor-led training on topics such as effective communication, giving feedback, coaching, resolving conflict and more.
