leadership excellence

TELUS recognizes that leaders play a vital role in creating a workplace of choice. Our managers are supported with several innovative programs that drive best-in-class leadership practices, reinforce our high-performance culture and contribute to our success.

All leadership development is based on three fundamental pillars of leadership: leading self, leading others and leading business results. This helps to ensure all development is aligned and complementary.

Leadership NOW – In 2006, TELUS' Leadership NOW initiative, a corporate-wide program targeted to high-potential team members at every level of the organization, continued to flourish. This program ensures the maintenance and development of a strong leadership pipeline at all levels, as we proceed in building a high-performance organization. In 2006, approximately one third of the Leadership NOW participants were women.

Participants in the high-potential Leadership NOW program benefit from:

• 360 assessments (peer, client and manager reviews)
• Level-appropriate leadership assessments
• A high-potential program-specific leadership mentoring network
• Leadership development events
• Networking and community opportunities
• Formalized level-specific leadership education
• Support and guidance of the Leadership Development Team
