The leaders were able to ask questions about the Group’s prospects for growth, in the format of an open dialogue, and to share their suggestions as to how the challenges currently facing the Group can be met.
Drawing the meeting to a close, NLMK Group president Oleg Bagrin commented, “It is hard to overstate how important this programme is to the company. And we are already reaping the rewards from it today. NLMK Group Leaders 2020 was conceived as a springboard for preparing new leaders, in order to ensure a smooth succession in management at various levels, whilst preserving our best traditions and the continuity of knowledge and skills. What we need now is a new generation of leaders who, by tackling crucial tasks related to boosting the efficiency of all business processes and production processes, will show that they are capable of being conduits for change, and of driving that change within the company themselves.”
