LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Sept. 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Grant Thornton Greece, a leading global
professional services network, announced the successful completion
of a groundbreaking leadership development program in collaboration
with Fruit4Growth and N.E.W.S.®, a global company specializing in
leadership development. The program aimed to equip Grant Thornton
Greece's teams with the tools and skills they need to navigate the
complexities of a rapidly changing global landscape and lead the
firm into the future.
"We are proud to take part in the training of the future
managers of the Grant Thornton Greece firm. The methodology we
developed offers a package of solutions designed to improve skills,
implement innovation, and grow managers in organizations facing
frequent global changes. In times of uncertainty, we offer
companies the appropriate tools to achieve resilience and
organizational growth," said Marina Giareni, CEO of
N.E.W.S.®
The program involved interactive workshops for approximately 200
participants, held at the firm's headquarters in Athens, as well as in offices across
Northern Greece and Crete, over six months. The workshops were
based on the NEWS Compass® methodology, a suite of twelve
award-winning solutions designed to foster innovative thinking,
enhance skills, and provide tools for successful navigation in a
world of complex global change. N.E.W.S.® is particularly strong in
helping organizations thrive and prosper in times of continuous
change and uncertainty and has established itself as a key resource
for organizational resilience and growth.
The Grant Thornton Greece project aimed to implement a
comprehensive program for senior teams as well as high-potential
employees identified for leadership roles. One of the most
important aspects was to equip future leaders with the appropriate
tools, including enhanced team and feedback skills, to enable them
to lead the firm forward. The implemented program was based on
N.E.W.S.®'s manager leadership development solutions.
"Considering the results and feedback we received from our
colleagues, I would classify N.E.W.S.®'s leadership development
program as innovative," said Dr. Panagiotis
Kontos, Senior Manager of People Experience and Culture at
Grant Thornton Greece. "We are grateful for this enriching process
we have gone through. It was very important for us to return to
face-to-face seminars to offer the most engaging learning
experience for our employees. As Einstein said, 'I never teach my
students, I only try to provide the conditions under which they can
learn.' It was just the beginning of our collaboration
with N.E.W.S.® and Fruit4Growth."
"Working with Grant Thornton Greece has been a truly rewarding
and inspiring experience," said Lilian Moschidou, Vice President of
Fruit4Growth, a key partner of N.E.W.S.®. "Grant Thornton Greece's
commitment to continuous learning and development aligns perfectly
with our mission to cultivate exceptional leadership and drive
organizational success for our clients. By equipping team leaders
with advanced feedback and team skills, we have jointly contributed
to their culture of excellence and ongoing development."
