FranklinCovey Recognized by HR.com with LEAD2018 Top Leadership Partner Award
The Wall Street Journal Best-Selling Book, Get Better: 15 Proven Practices to Build Effective
Relationships at Work, Fuels Top Leadership Award for FranklinCovey
Franklin Covey Co. (NYSE: FC), a global firm specializing in organizational performance improvement, today
announced it has been named as a LEAD2018 Top Leadership Partner by HR.com.
The distinguished recipients of the Leadership Excellence and Development (LEAD) Awards for 2018 were named for outstanding
achievements in leadership development and programs in the areas of Education, Corporate, and Individuals at the LEAD2018 event recently held at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah. These leadership awards salute
the world's top leadership practitioners and programs, and highlight these organizations’ contributions in helping organizations
develop their most important asset − their people.
In 2017, FranklinCovey launched The Wall Street Journal best-seller, Get Better: 15 Proven Practices to Build Effective Relationships at Work , authored by FranklinCovey Chief
People Officer Todd Davis. In conjunction with the launch, FranklinCovey created an interactive work session featuring key
principles and content from the book on behalf of FranklinCovey employees, who participated in the session facilitated by Davis. It
was the book, its content and the work session that were the impetus for a nomination and an award for FranklinCovey by HR.com as a
LEAD 2018 Top Leadership Partner.
For the past 35 years, the LEAD Awards, formerly known as Leadership Excellence Awards, have identified and recognized the top
leadership programs and organizations and their strategies and solutions in their yearly ranking. This year's award winners were
published in HR.com’s Leadership Excellence Essentials e-publication. Future issues of the Leadership Excellence publication will also
feature interviews from select top award winners in each category. These interviews will outline each program's unique qualities
that made it a LEAD Awards winner.
“We express our appreciation to HR.com for this award. It is a real honor to be recognized as a 2018 Top Leadership Partner,”
said Bob Whitman, FranklinCovey CEO. “Our competitive advantage has always been our unique, world-renowned content
and performance improvement solutions, as well as our thought leaders and authors behind those solutions. Get Better is a
compelling book. The content is based upon Todd’s 30-plus years of experience in talent development, his exemplary leadership, and
his deep knowledge and understanding of how to build effective relationships at work. The content and work session have not only
benefited our employees, but thousands more in client organizations throughout the world. And to have this content be the genesis
of this recognition highlights FranklinCovey’s ability to create highly valued leadership development solutions."
