John - Transition to Leadership
Sector: Business to Consumer
Challenge:
- To support a newly-appointed Managing Director of a well-known company who needed to move from using his financial acumen to developing his leadership skills with his board and making a more strategic impact on the business.
Our Approach:
- Six-month programme of executive coaching with the leader.
- Facilitated sessions with each board member and their respective teams to build cohesiveness and collaboration.
- Clear objectives set out up-front and monitoring of progress against these objectives over the six-month period.
- 360° feedback sessions to clarify and agree key areas upon which the leader and his team needed to focus.
- Fortnightly sessions working closely with the senior HR manager and her team to understand how changes were felt within the company.
Outcomes:
- Substantial increase in revenues and profits for this company in a sector where their competitors were making redundancies.
- A much more cohesive management team who could plan for the future as well as take care of today’s revenues.
- Independent observers of this team reported a decided shift towards working as a team from working in independent silos.
- Greater clarity of company vision.
- Consistent communication of company vision and direction right through the company, resulting in significant increases in workforce morale (measured independently by HR Dept).
