Sherry Laboratories had white-collar technical professionals—like engineers, chemists, and biologists—who were excellent employees and promoted into supervisory positions without supervisor training.

A group was sent to a local college that offered seminar-style classroom sessions, but it wasn’t a good fit for their adult learners.

They decided to offer two modules a month from The Leadership Journey™ during lunch-and-learn sessions. They were delighted with the results, concluding that, “The Leadership Journey™ was a great investment.” View case study highlights.
