We understand that the essence of a thriving business lies in the strength of its leaders. That’s why we introduced our Leadership Development Programme in April 2023. This initiative is a cornerstone of our HR People Plan, designed to foster (personal) leadership acumen and reinforce talent management within our dynamic and inclusive work environment.
Our programme is structured around five core behaviours that we believe are crucial for effective leadership: Insight, Shape, Connect, Deliver, and Develop. Leaders at Cefetra are expected to possess a deep understanding of themselves and others, leveraging this insight to craft strategic plans. A natural curiosity enables them to foster genuine connections with people and customers, ensuring commitments are met and our talent is nurtured for future challenges.
Participation in this programme refines our (personal) leadership approach, aligns with our core values, and contributes to a consistent performance culture.
“I learned the importance of staying open-minded, focused, and curious, especially in facing the challenges of a generational shift.”

“The programme was intense but incredibly valuable, offering deep self-reflection that led to changes in behavior and communication, ultimately impacting both myself and those around me.”
