Empowering Future Leaders at Saving Sight

The Emerging Leaders program at Saving Sight is designed to nurture leadership potential and develop critical skills across the organization. By fostering a leadership pipeline, the program empowers team members to tackle challenges, drive innovation, and make meaningful contributions to Saving Sight’s mission.

This comprehensive program blends knowledge with practical application, covering topics such as change management, strategic decisionmaking, communication, and team dynamics. Sessions are led by Saving Sight leaders who provide a supportive environment for participants to refine their leadership styles and deepen their understanding of organizational impact.

This year’s class of five Emerging Leaders took on a final project addressing culture gaps between remote and onsite teams. Their solutions included “Day in the Life” videos, satellite office highlights, on-demand access to allstaff meetings, and mission-focused storytelling to enhance connection across the organization. They also proposed initiatives like leadership rotations, standardized one-on-ones, interdepartmental shadowing, and team visits to strengthen relationships and role awareness.

The project emphasized the importance of shared experiences and leadership in fostering a unified culture. These thoughtful solutions demonstrate the Emerging Leaders’ commitment to strengthening Saving Sight’s workplace culture and mission.

As Saving Sight continues to grow, the Emerging Leaders program ensures the organization is equipped with skilled, innovative leaders ready to inspire and support the team in achieving its goals.
