This spring, our Professional Development Department is launching a new program for our high-performing associates, “Future Leaders of Benesch.” This program is dedicated to the leadership skill development of associates who are nominated by their practice group chairs and meet the following qualifications: 1) At least a 4th year associate; 2) consistently receive high marks on performance reviews; 3) demonstrated commitment to career development and to Benesch’s core values; and 4) involvement in community/civic initiatives through not-for-profit board participation, pro bono efforts and/or volunteerism. This nine-month program will provide high-level soft skills training and development, one-on-one coaching, an opportunity to work collaboratively with other attorneys outside of the associates’ practice group and office location, and interaction with firm leadership. Topics covered include: business etiquette, successful delegation, presentation skills and emotional intelligence, to name a few.
Future Leaders of Benesch is the firm’s latest strategic initiative to support the development of our talented associates to ensure they have the tools to provide excellent service to our clients and to position them to be the next generation of leaders at Benesch.
