How Magna built a ready-now bench for operational leadership

Plant General Managers (GMs) are the backbone of Magna’s global operations, with responsibility for P&L, people leadership, and cross-functional decision-making.

The automotive manufacturer partnered with InStride to launch its Capability Accelerator program: the Operations Management Accelerator (OMA). This is a highly selective, 12-month senior leadership development program designed to prepare high-potential senior managers and directors for its most critical operational leadership roles and fill critical roles through internal talent development.
