Leadership
according to First Finance

In 10 years, more than 40 Talent Management Programmes for CAC 40 companies

VISION

We believe that true leadership begins with a clear and inspiring vision. The leader must go beyond this, co-creating trajectories and adjusting course in real time to maximise performance, resilience and impact.

ADAPTABILITY

In an ever-changing world, the ability to adapt is essential. Leaders need to be flexible, responsive, able to adapt to uncertainty and transform their organisation.

ETHICS

Integrity is at the heart of effective leadership. Embodying ethical principles, acting with honesty and transparency, and building trust through consistent actions – these are the precepts that drive leaders.

INTELLIGENCE
EMOTIONAL

Authentic leadership requires an understanding of emotions. Leaders with emotional intelligence know how to listen, decode relational signals and create a climate of trust conducive to commitment and cooperation.

IMPACT

Leadership is measured by its concrete influence. An impactful leader transforms intentions into results, mobilises collective energies and leaves a lasting mark on individuals and organisations.

Case 2 - CAC40 bank

BANKERS ACADEMY – programme renewed for 7 years

The Bankers Academy is a high-level English-language training and development programme designed for people who have been identified as Talents and who are destined to take on senior responsibilities within coverage in Europe.

Focused on the client approach, the programme uses real-life case studies to strengthen participants’ skills in all of the bank’s areas of expertise.

The cases are designed and presented by business experts and the Senior Banker in charge. In addition to the technical aspects (the “tool-box”) of the subject dealt with, the customer relations dimension and cross-functional collaboration between the various teams involved in the operation are addressed.

The diversity of the group of participants and the contact with business experts and coverage enrich the synergies and strengthen the participants’ internal network.

In addition to the case studies, participants attend themed webinars and meetings, particularly with customers.

The course, which runs over several months, includes a leadership component which is part of the overall programme and which, while drawing on the customer experiences recounted in the case studies, will focus on strengthening the relational impact of the participants. The leadership component includes the MBTI questionnaire, themed workshops and 2 individual coaching sessions.
