“Leadership is a key element for crafting a successful organization. We were looking to improve the leadership skills of our team at Crown Texas so we decided to reach out to Alex Cano & Company to roll out Leadership 5.0 training and Certification (a methodology created by Alex Cano & Company) to our Senior Leadership Team, 1st and 2nd Level Managers, Supervisors and Leads.  The results have been extremely positive.  Our team have improved their leadership skills as well as communication, decision making, emotional intelligence, and team building skills. Our team works better now (togetherness & collaboration) – the change is visible and noticeable in our execution, sense of urgency and drive results.

We are very pleased with the results of this certification and the professionalism of Alex Cano & Company.”

“A truly agile methodology. Thanks to the American Institute for Learning and Development and his founder Alex Cano, students will have all the support they may need during their learning journey. The training interphase is very intuitive, interactive, and, through different practical exercises, the student will easily understand the concepts taught at each chapter. Also, the business cases presented are based on real life situations that happen in today’s business world, therefore it is easy to identify with them.  Regarding my own professional experience, I can attest that the Agile Change Lean Sigma 5.0 Green Belt certification has helped me to improve my collaboration with my team members in a way that we have continuously outperformed the results of our improvement projects.

Personally, I think leadership development is important at every level. Leadership 5.0 Certification will boost your confidence and knowledge as you improve your leadership skills currently and prepare for your leadership in near future. This course provides an overview concept of a Leader 5.0 and how to become a successful Leader 5.0 through different approaching methods and dimensions. It is a valuable opportunity to reinforce your knowledge and your leadership skills, helps you to know yourself and others better in private and work situations. Through 5 dimensions of the Leadership 5.0 model and DISC personalities, you will identify yourself and your team’s weakness and strength to manage, care, respect and build a winning team.

I really like the course’s content. The mentoring approach, assignments and review were all good. All topics were offered in an interactive, case problem-solving style to enhance your critical thinking and practice. I was thoroughly enjoying it while learning. I feel it is great for learning leadership through our senses. Alex is amazing in driving through various insights and right examples to ensure the learning is fun. I  highly recommend it to everyone.

Alex Cano’s Leadership 5.0 Certification is an invaluable training program that will bring value added to the company or team that is fortunate enough to have the dimensions of leadership, management, communications, and purpose, honed and tempered to achieve a long-lasting success.  The success will not only be lasting, but it will also be impactful individually, companywide, throughout the surrounding community, and globally. Mr. Cano’s Leadership 5.0 training should be a requirement of any company’s training matrix and should include every employee in the company.  This training will improve the overall performance of the company employees by enabling team members to understand themselves and their coworkers better, allowing for more effective communication, which will improve results and goals.

I hear other team members communicating on the production floor and citing the training we received and implementing those techniques in a real-world environment. I am better equipped now to handle the communication and problem solving that is necessary in a fast-moving and dynamic production environment because of the training I received from Mr. Cano.

I would strongly recommend Leadership 5.0 training to any company or organization that is serious about success, longevity, and sustainability.
