At Cooper Pest, we did exactly this, with over 30 people going through the program and 11 of them rising into leadership roles. The courses helped some teammates realize that they did not actually want the responsibility that comes with being a leader, while others were motivated to go to even higher levels than they first thought possible. We took technicians, customer service reps, sales reps and members of the accounting team and gave them the experience to prepare themselves for leadership roles. Most importantly, they were ready when we were ready, shortening the learning curve and making our success rate of new managers and leaders skyrocket.
