Likelihood of promotion among Truist Leadership Institute alumni +89% compared to those who did not attend the TLI program.
Analysis of heritage BB&T Commercial Banking relationship managers (RMs), 2012—2018.
Of RMs who attended MLD, 36% received a promotion, compared to 19% among RMs who had not taken MLD.
What is MLD?
Mastering Leadership Dynamics (MLD) is Truist Leadership Institute’s five-day leadership development program. It is centered on leaders’ self-awareness of key beliefs, behaviors, and the implications beliefs have for their leadership.
Why do RMs promote more often after MLD training?
The MLD program is designed to equip participants with the ability to build and maintain strong relationships with others.
We believe these skills empower RMs to stand out as candidates who can tackle the challenges that come with increased leadership responsibilities.
The headline finding refers to whether or not RMs were promoted, but what about the total number of promotions?
An additional analysis demonstrated that RMs with MLD training received more total promotions than those without MLD.
