Building a values-based leadership team
Bunge launched the Leadership Development Program (LDP) to ensure the effectiveness and depth of talent of our current and future management teams, and to instill a leadership style that fits our company’s decentralized and integrated approach.
The LDP is focused on supporting the personal growth of Bunge’s managers and the growth of the company as a whole. It is also designed to facilitate the cultural integration of leaders within Bunge and provide a strategic orientation that enables managers to remain aligned – even as they lead their own teams in 30 countries on five continents.
The LDP aims to develop the following in its managers:
• Vision – the ability to anticipate, define and shape the future direction of the company utilizing innovative ideas.
• Action – the ability to manage business operations in an organized, results-oriented manner with an emphasis on productivity, quality, safety and, ultimately, sustained profitability.
• Relationships – the ability to create and maintain a favorable environment between people (farmers, customers, employees and shareholders) in order to obtain the best results for the company.
