Leadership 2.0 is an intense and intellectually challenging leadership-development program specific to the vehicle aftermarket. Participants in this year’s program represented a wide array of aftermarket companies at all levels of the industry, the University says.
The program began last August with participants gathering on Northwood University’s campus in Midland, Mich. Between sessions I and II, participants worked on team projects that addressed several important industry issues. Participants received 7.0 credits toward completion of their Automotive Aftermarket Professional (AAP) or Master Automotive Aftermarket Professional (MAAP) designations, Northwood says.
The next Leadership 2.0 program will begin August 24, 2014, at the Sloan Family Building for Aftermarket Studies on Northwood University’s campus in Midland, Mich. The class will reconvene in the spring 2015 on Northwood’s campus in West Palm Beach, Fla.
Northwood says details on the next class are being finalized and will be announced at the upcoming Global Automotive Aftermarket Symposium on May 20-21, 2014 in Chicago.
