Braun. The content was jointly created and is now delivered through a mixture of Cube and in-house facilitators, some online and some in person. The final 360 feedback day is delivered by Cube to ensure delegates understand exactly what it is, and the benefits 360 feedback can create.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Braun\u2019s learning and development manager Sam Fairbanks said: \u201cCube\u2019s impact on our Passport to Leadership programme has been incredible. From bringing diverse perspectives and best practice from other sectors, to delivering supportive challenge to help delegates shift their thinking, we couldn\u2019t ask for more.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cCube are real partners in the delivery of this programme. The fact it has shifted from an optional new manager course to something that\u2019s seen as highly desirable and regularly requested by people on our talent pipeline is testament to its high quality.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe programme\u2019s impact is a shared language and cultural shift, which has helped us better manage performance and give our first-line management population more confidence in tackling things like giving quality feedback and having difficult conversations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWhen Cube are delivering, I never worry. I know the day will run brilliantly, questions and group dynamics will be handled with care, and people who are at first hesitant about the programme will end up as cheerleaders!\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Now on cohort 19 and with dedicated delivery to reflect the challenges of the operational arm of the business starting in Q4 of 2025, the Passport to Leadership programme is embedded in the way B. Braun invests in its people.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In addition to delivering this leadership development programme since 2019, the Cube team has also worked on developing B. Braun\u2019s internal mentoring capacity, using the Passport to Leadership as a springboard. There\u2019s now a pool of volunteers throughout the organisation willing to act as mentors on a range of issues that could affect people at work \u2013 from the usual management conundrums to being a parent of multiples, managing grief and neurodivergence. Cube designed and delivered a mentoring workshop, helping people understand the role and develop skills to provide support to colleagues.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With 224 people (and counting) going through the Passport to Leadership programme, and many graduates moving up through B. Braun\u2019s management structure, it\u2019s no wonder the programme has influenced culture. It has created a common language and foundational knowledge which drives consistency in the way people are managed, aligning to B. Braun\u2019s values. This means new leaders are more confident in the way they manage their teams, better equipped to handle tough conversations, and contribute to improving productivity by properly managing performance.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We\u2019ll leave the final word to the client.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sam said: \u201cWe\u2019ve continued to work with Cube since 2019 because they are curious \u2013 asking the right questions to understand exactly what we\u2019re trying to achieve. They are challenging \u2013 questioning any received wisdom to make sure we\u2019re getting the right outcomes and never just agreeing with us for the sake of keeping the work. And they have invested in getting to know B. Braun, so integrate our strategic vision and key messages whenever they are with our people.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If that sounds like the kind of leadership and development partner you\u2019d like to work with, <\/span><a href=\"mailto:meg.burton@cube-ld.co.uk\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">send us an email<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> to start a conversation.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 220 people trained.
