How it all Began
Rapid growth with diverse components being added to the business in fast succession required members of the leadership team to take on ever-expanding roles. Thriving in this turbulence required each leader to perform at their best, and for the group to develop a leadership culture to match. Also, there was a requirement to manage the number of reports to the CEO and the subsequent leadership needs that emerged from these decisions.
How We Helped
We designed a long-term process to provide ‘just in time’ consulting and development episodes to suit the changing needs of the individuals in the group, and the evolving business they support:
- Design was based on interviews with stakeholders and Exec team members, as well as thorough data analysis, reporting and consulting with the CEO
- Modular design, aligned to business growth and performance and including leadership strategy, team culture development, 360 behavioural instrument, leadership tools, individual coaching and application to specific business challenges
- Exec leadership workshops enabled feedback and on-going team development, as well as evolution of leadership culture and development of strong senior relationships
- Selected leaders had coaching for themselves and facilitation with their leadership teams
Results Achieved
- Significant behaviour change reported within the leadership team, with tools embedded into daily processes
- Increase in defined cultural measures for improving business performance (e.g., open conversations and alignment)
- Business measures improving despite increase in business complexity, market volatility, expansion of products and services and other significant changes
