The American Supply Association’s ASA University recently released a new course in its Essentials-branded course library: “Essentials of Leadership for Wholesaler-Distributors.”
This five-part course is designed specifically for wholesale-distribution and offers pointed insight into the leadership and management aspects within the industry.
The course provides five in-depth modules that cover aligning team direction, continuous coaching, localized strategic planning, manpower planning and performance reviews. Each audio-visual module tackles a specific skillset that will ultimately ensure the success of the functional manager in evolving his/her team to the next level of profitability and performance.
“Essentials of Leadership for Wholesaler-Distributors” provides a comprehensive toolkit for success in leading a high-performing team, with detailed how-to descriptions of localizing and applying a company’s broader strategic plan into actionable strategies that yield positive results in day-to-day business, ASA University noted.
“With the workforce shortage our industry is facing, the need for strong leaders and effective teams within our companies will be more important than ever,” said Chris Fasano, president of the ASA Education Foundation and president/COO of Torrco in Waterbury, Connecticut. “We realized ASA University could help support this transitional time by providing education and training geared specifically for current leaders and developing our leaders of tomorrow.”
