Registration Open for 2021 FGIA Leadership Development Program
Registration for the third installment of the Leadership Development Program from the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) is now open, with the first session taking place in January. Oak Moser, a leadership coach with Coaching 2 Connect , facilitates this professional education offering, which is a legacy program of the Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance (IGMA) that will continue to be offered by FGIA.
“The Leadership Development Program focuses on the soft skills a leader needs to achieve his or her full potential,” said Moser. “Everyone in the workforce develops hard skills required to be employed in the fenestration and glazing industry, but developing soft skills provides the necessary intangibles to become a great leader.”
Soft skills, as covered in the Leadership Development Program, include communicating effectively with people, recognizing a company's culture and effectively aligning with that culture, understanding accountability in the workplace and more.
“This professional development was originally offered by IGMA. FGIA, as part of the unification of AAMA and IGMA, is thrilled to continue the program and to serve the industry by offering this valuable leadership training,” said Kaydeen Laird, FGIA Education Manager. “Those who have completed the first and second installments of the Leadership Development Program felt they learned how to be a better employee, coworker and leader.”
