ASA University (ASA-U) has released the Essentials of Leadership for Wholesaler-Distributors. This 5-part course was designed for wholesale-distribution and offers pointed insight into the leadership and management aspects within the industry.

Essentials of Leadership for Wholesaler-Distributors provides five in-depth modules that cover aligning team direction, continuous coaching, localized strategic planning, manpower planning, and finally, performance reviews. The program provides a toolkit for success in leading a high-performing team, with detailed how-to descriptions of localizing and applying a company’s broader strategic plan into actionable strategies that yield positive results in day-to-day business.

“With the workforce shortage our industry is facing, the need for strong leaders and effective teams within our companies will be more important than ever,” said Chris Fasano, President of the ASA Education Foundation and president/COO of Torrco in Waterbury, Conn. “We realized that ASA University could help support this transitional time by providing education and training geared specifically for current leaders, and developing our leaders of tomorrow.”

The new course is available online.
