The G2 Leadership Institute provided me with the tools to propel my career to the next level. The perspectives on managing people, delivering feedback, compensation, and many other matters was beneficial to me in delivering more impactful performance reviews and clearly communicating compensation decisions. The program introduced me to a network of peers across the country to learn from formally & informally, many of whom I will stay connected with for the rest of my career as we continue growing as leaders.
