Olympia Group’s New Leadership Building Initiative

SAN ANTONIO - Nov. 12, 2014 - PRLog -- The marketing company has always been an innovator in the industry. By leveraging on-site promotions to help clients grow, they have helped to reform how we view modern advertising. However, this is not enough to ensure the company’s future success, according to Josh, the firm’s director of operations.

“Stability is not enough,” he stated. “What we are today will never be sufficient to guarantee our success tomorrow. If we want to remain one of the most competitive companies in our field, we have to keep innovating. For that, we need to foster the best minds and leaders in the business.”

As such, the firm has established a series of new training and mentorship initiatives. Whereas historically they have emphasized thorough training and preparation of new personnel, Olympia Group will now focus on longer term training to continue developing its people as thought leaders.

“We aim to mentor our best and brightest to become future leaders within our organization and the promotions industry as a whole,” said Josh. In doing so, he also hopes to build the confidence of each team member. As they learn more and more from veterans in the company, he said, the more confident they will become in their own abilities. This ultimately will allow them the freedom to be creative and become true leaders.

Olympia Group’s Cultural Development Program Based on Empowerment

For the Olympia Group team leadership building doesn’t just stop at training. As Josh explained, it is also about creating the right supportive culture in order to empower people. “Individuals going from followers to leaders isn’t just about teaching them how,” he said. “It’s also about setting them up so that they can lead, and so that they can innovate.”

One of the most important things that Olympia Group does, according to Josh, is celebrate trying new things – even when they don’t work. This signals to his team that it’s more important to innovate than to stick with what’s already known. Another important step in cultural development is to encourage team victories. In doing so, the leading members of the firm are more encouraged to leverage their team than to try to succeed alone.

“It’s important to set the right expectations,” explained Josh. “While not every business leader seems to realize this, sending the right signal from the top is essential to enabling a team of innovators.”
