Cavender Leadership Development Program Cavender Auto Group celebrated the graduation of their second cohort of leaders from the Cavender Leadership Development Program. At the same time, they recently wrapped up the second month of their third cohort group. The Leadership Development Program was designed in collaboration with the leaders of the company to focus on some of the most critical leadership skills that lead to success in their dealerships: communication, time management, resilience, emotional intelligence, team development, decision-making and problem-solving, and change leadership. The program is six months long. Each month, the cohort members dive into one of the leadership topics through a blend of online learning, group discussions and practice, self-paced practice, and reflection and reporting. By developing their leaders in cohorts of 10-16 people from across the dealership family, participants have an opportunity to build a network with other leaders in various stages of their careers, across all Cavender dealerships in Texas and Oklahoma. Their most recent cohort group included general managers, sales managers and fixed operations directors, as well as sales consultants, service advisors and service technicians. That diversity contributes heavily to the rich discussions they have in their group meetings. Participants apply for the program and are selected by senior leaders based on a number of criteria, including their potential to contribute to the long-term growth of the business. Congratulations to the second cohort of leaders for graduating from this enriching program! Rick Cavender, Cavender Auto Group DEALERS’ CHOICE 18
