Leadership Development
Lead Yourself
The Lead Yourself program is a carefully crafted initiative tailored for individuals seeking to make an investment in their personal growth and development at Butler Machinery Company. In the realm of career advancement, the term “leadership” is frequently encountered. It is important to highlight that “leadership” is not the same as “management.” Being a leader goes beyond the usual levels of authority at Butler, and this program is designed to help each person look inside themselves and find areas where they can grow personally. As participants progress through the program, they will encounter three fundamental categories: Butler Mission & Values, Ownership & Character, and Communication & Trust. By engaging in online coursework, exploring recommended books and podcasts, and receiving guidance from a dedicated mentor or leader, participants will acquire the skills necessary to take deliberate strides towards self-leadership and effectively influence others.
