Dr. Cheryl A. Martin, Vice President and General Manager for
Rohm and Haas�s (NYSE:ROH) Paint and Coatings Materials business in
Europe, the Middle East and Africa, says the return on investment
for companies that invest heavily in leader development �is huge �
business and financial goals are achieved faster; job satisfaction
increases; retention improves, and, ultimately, a company develops
deeper bench strength of talent for succession planning.�
Martin made her remarks as part of the Presidential Symposium on
�Leadership � Facing the Challenges of Today and Tomorrow� at the
American Chemical Society�s (ACS) national meeting Monday in Salt
Lake City, Utah. The ACS unveiled its Leadership Development System
at the close of the Symposium.
�Companies and organizations that invest in leadership
development and follow through with training throughout the various
stages of employee�s career have a sustainable competitive
advantage over others,� Martin added. �Skills such as vision
setting, awareness of one�s affect on others, emotional resilience,
comfort with how people get work done in ways that are different
than yours, and embracing the importance of trust, honesty and
ethical behavior are critical. Together, these exemplify
leadership.�
Martin holds a PhD in Chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology. Her working career began as a research and
development scientist and quality manager. She then obtained
experience in Marketing, Investor Relations and Financial Planning
before taking senior level business leader roles. Today, Martin is
the leader of a $400 million specialty materials business based in
Switzerland that serves the paint and coatings needs of customers
in Western and Eastern Europe, Russia, Turkey, the Middle East and
Africa.
