How do you build a robust leadership development program that helps employees develop the experiences, skills and thinking needed to fill future leadership positions? Through its Operations Leadership Development Program and collaboration with Drexel University, Lockheed Martin is educating its high-potential early career employees through a program design that fosters collaborative knowledge sharing, critical thinking and innovation — not just building skills. The Lockheed Martin story offers a valuable learning experience for organizations whose continued success is dependent on the development and retention of their employees.
