Schindler is an industry leader and its products, services and people are key in maintaining this position. The company believes that strong and innovative leadership is vital in its
competitive industry. To support Schindler’s growth and market strategy, the company has further strengthened its leadership development opportunities with the introduction of a
Leadership Academy. This is a suite of milestone leadership behavioural programmes that supports Schindler leaders with innovative, practical and business relevant learning
throughout their career.

One of the most fundamental aspects of the Leadership Academy is the development of the Leading an Organization programme. This programme is targeted toward the top 250 Global Senior leaders. These dynamic and experienced leaders have all the technical skills they need for their roles, possess years of experience and will steer the organization as it grows. However, to better enable their skill set and help underpin organizational success, Schindler decided to add a programme that would focus on helping a senior leader run an organization at a senior level. This meant identifying and teaching those specific skills and knowledge that helps a leader strike the balance between strategic thinking and demonstrating great leadership capabilities. Schindler is fully aware that leaders cannot command excellence –it has to be earned.
