Partnering with Northwestern University’s top-ranked Kellogg School of Management in Chicago, LMC dealers elevated their leadership at Northwestern University’s Chicago campus, April 14 – 17th.
With LMC’s unique partner program, attendees get the true executive MBA experience as well as invaluable time to explore their learnings alongside their industry peers.
Hosted by renowned Kellogg professors, the class offers insights for owners, senior managers, and next-generation leaders. This year’s program featured driving transformative change.
Paul Thorne, VP of Business Development stated, “Hosting our Leadership Masterclass at Kellogg in Chicago was an exceptional experience. The renowned faculty provided the perfect immersive learning journey. Participants not only gained invaluable insights into effective leadership strategies but also had the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals from diverse businesses.”
“It’s always hard to take time away from your business. Is this going to be worth my time away? In the case of the Kellogg Leadership Excellence Masterclass, it’s 100% worth it.” said Taylor Huskey, owner of Huskey Building Supply.
“An amazing experience that broadened my understanding in depth in innovation, technology, marketing, and sales. It was truly an honor.” stated Mariah Hughes from Yoder’s Building Supply.
The annual highlight of every program is the case study. This year, attendees visited the iconic Radio Flyer Headquarters at the invitation of Radio Flyer President & CEO, Robert Pasin. Robert offered a presentation on navigating the challenges of building a future-focused culture and organization as a family-owned legacy company.
The group then took a first-hand look at the Radio Flyer headquarters, which still operates in its original west Chicago factory building.
LMC is on a short list of prestigious Association & Specialty Programs run in partnership with Kellogg School of Management’s executive education program at Northwestern University.
Kellogg reached the #2 spot in U.S. News & World Report’s best business school rankings in 2023.
