Twelve CUC Supervisors Complete Leadership Certificate
Caribbean Utilities Company, Ltd. (CUC) hosted a ceremony to celebrate the achievements of
twelve supervisors who were presented with the Level 3 Certificate in Leadership and
Management from the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM). The ceremony was held
at the George Town Yacht Club on Monday where the Company celebrated with the inaugural
group of employees who completed the programme after over a year of dedicated studies.
The Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM) programme which is offered by Management
Solutions is focused on key Leadership principles which include Understanding Effective
Teamwork; Workplace Communication; Leading and Motivating A Team Effectively and
Managing Projects.
Addressing the group, President and CEO, Mr. Richard Hew, reminded the successful
participants of the Company’s goal to ensure that each employee is developed to be the best that
they can be and he encouraged them to use the learning they attained during the course to
improve their effectiveness as leaders of their teams and to bring alignment with the strategic
objectives of the Company.
Eric Jenkinson, Principal of Management Solutions Ltd. stated that CUC is the first Company in
the Caribbean to sponsor an ILM graduating team. He told the supervisors that they now have
the skills required to be great leaders and they should utilize these skills to the fullest.
The ILM course started in November 2015 and the students completed the course work and all
their assignments by the end of March 2017.
A new group comprised of ten additional Supervisors from across Company are currently
working to complete the ILM certificate course and all of the Company’s department managers
are enrolled in the Level 5 Certificate in Leadership and Management.
