Leadership development and career paths
Strong leaders are developed, not born.
Whether you have a desire to lead others, or prefer a more informal leadership role by being a leader in your community, you should have the ability to grow and develop in the direction you choose. Our local and national leadership development programs were designed to build a pipeline of frontline, experienced leaders throughout The Guardian Network®. Choose your career path based on how you want to enhance your skills, and our programs will help guide your growth and development.
If you take the Financial Representative path, you'll have the choice to build your practice on your own or as part of a team. Either way, you'll have the support and leverage of an established, 160+ year old company behind you.
Generalist: Market focus individually or through joint work
Specialist: Product-specific as a coach, mentor, or part of a team.
Taking your career in this direction says you want to develop a specialty within the firm structure, where you can bring out the best of your particular skillset.
