Challenges to creating this kind of environment:
Many leaders don’t realize character can be developed or that their communication skills need improving.
Training or coaching is often reserved for those in upper management roles, so not every leader gets an opportunity to learn these skills.
The importance of practicing a skill on the job—and the impact of that practice on performance—is often underestimated.
Our best-in-class assessment and development tools address these issues while building strong leaders.

“It is true to say that I have learned an enormous amount from everyone at GSL. I value the relationship both from a business point of view as well as a personal point of view—their friendship, professionalism, and compassion as human beings. I feel that they value me as a businessperson and individual as well.”
They are more like a Partner than a vendor.
