Brokerage's commitment to education and professional development underscored
Loan Market recently hosted its annual Leadership Academy in the Gold Coast, featuring a keynote address by professor Boris Groysberg (pictured) from Harvard Business School.
Known for his expertise in talent management and leadership, Groysberg shared his research and insights with Loan Market’s top business owners during the two-day event.
The event commenced with Groysberg presenting his research to members of the Loan Market & Partner Chairman’s Club, as well as Platinum and Elite business owners. He also shared insights into business leadership and practical tools for managing people and growth.
The second day allowed attendees to apply Groysberg’s principles to their own business operations, focusing on refining leadership skills and developing sustainable business strategies to support growth.
Andrew Thompson, national director of Loan Market National Director, highlighted the importance of continuous learning within the company, mentioning executive chairman Sam White’s admiration for Groysberg’s work.
“Sam’s been inspired by Professor Groysberg’s knowledge of talent management and wanted to build his teachings into our education program so our business owners can become the best possible leaders for their teams and businesses,” Thompson said.
“The industry has undergone transformation with rapid tech advancement and regulatory change. It’s so important that our business owners are equipped to lead their business and, importantly, their people through this change. Professor Groysberg’s session was a masterclass in cultivating leadership that drives both personal and professional growth.”
Thompson said the success stories from the Leadership Academy underline the impact of the brokerage’s commitment to education and professional development, with participants reporting significant improvements in their leadership styles and business strategies.
“Our commitment to education and the continuous improvement of our brokers is stronger than ever,” Thompson said. “The Leadership Academy is just one event in our holistic approach which includes Brokerversity, Professional Development Days, Kaizen workshops and lean six sigma business coaches, all designed to support our businesses in achieving their ambitions.”
Groysberg also lauded the commitment of Loan Market and the White family to professional development.
“Out of all the families I know, the Whites are the most learning-focused I’ve ever met,” he said. “It’s inspiring to see such a profound commitment to learning and growth in the business world.”
