When organizations invest in executive leadership, they seek programs that combine innovation, strategy, customization and real-world application.
As part of our strategic focus on executive development, Goodman Group is designing programs across sectors to address the unique needs of today’s leaders, equipping them with the skills to thrive in an ever-evolving business landscape.
We are proud to announce our new partnership with the City of Welland, launching the Executive Municipal Leadership program specifically tailored for their top leadership team. Designed for a distinguished group of executives, this intensive program builds on their expertise, refining and expanding their skills in succession planning, executive presence, strategic decision-making, leadership in political environments, risk management, strategy, and AI applications, among other topics. Through planning exercises, peer collaboration, and hands-on simulations, participants will further sharpen their ability to navigate complex challenges with confidence and precision.
Rob Axiak, CAO of the City of Welland, emphasized the importance of ongoing leadership development: “Lifelong learning is fundamental at every stage of our careers, and investing in executive leadership is an investment in the future of our city. This program reflects our commitment to fostering a leadership team that is not only prepared for today’s challenges but is also equipped to shape Welland’s future with confidence, strategy, and innovation. Partnering with Goodman Group allows us to provide our senior leaders with a world-class learning experience that directly aligns with our organizational priorities and the evolving landscape of municipal governance.”
This initiative advances our approach to leadership development, offering a strategic learning experience fully aligned with the organization’s priorities, equipping executives to tackle complex challenges and drive meaningful impact.
At Goodman Group, we believe leadership excellence is essential, not optional. This program underscores our mutual commitment— Goodman Group and the City of Welland—to providing leaders with the tools and strategies they need to drive meaningful change and navigate the increasingly complex challenges of the future with confidence and resilience. As part of our mandate to be an ally to the community, we are dedicated to supporting the journey of organizations, careers, and ideas to the next level.
