What is the Leadership Development Program?

The LDP is a 2-year program that teaches what leadership looks like at United Radio. Leadership at United Radio is leading with our core values as the foundation. The program is designed to support United Radio employees on their own leadership journeys, whether they are a new leader or further along on their journey.

In the two years of the program there are monthly retreat days and masterclasses. The retreat days feature topics including our core values, emotional intelligence, creativity, inquiry-driven leadership, and more. The program also includes mentoring sessions, which typically occur monthly, for each of the cohort members. The mentoring sessions promote development and growth.

The LDP has built a 5-pillar approach, with the foundation being our core values. The five pillars of the program are: Recruiting, Training, Mentoring, Career Planning, and Succession Planning.

November was also a big month for Cohort 2! They have now completed year one of the program and will begin year two in January. Their retreat day topic in November was Gratitude and Appreciation. The cohort reflected on some of these questions throughout the day:

  • What is appreciation, compared to recognition and a compliment?
  • Why is gratitude important in leadership?
  • What are some of the barriers to expressing gratitude?
  • What are some ways to show appreciation? How does United Radio practice this?

This day also gave them an opportunity to express gratitude to their fellow cohort members. Throughout the last year, Cohort 2 has been able form and develop relationships with each other. The cohort includes participants from different divisions, United Radio cities, and varying years of service. Everyone is on their own leadership journey and can learn from each other and the Advisory Committee, which includes James Branche, Josh Forward, Mara Charlamb, Mark Fuller, and Phil Rubenstein.

The Advisory Committee looks forward to the next year of the Leadership Development Program! 2024 will bring the exciting developments of year two for Cohort 2.
