Intervention

We visited two circles for diagnostic conversations across levels. We gathered: 

• A widespread leadership belief in number delivery at any
• People issues were seen as HR responsibilities and offsite events would be enough to assuage any people related issues.
• A highly task-only culture, with its many offshoots that included a lack of empathy, lack of interpersonal trust and collaboration.
• A lack of appreciation that growth was tapering and a silo’d approach was leading to unresolved conflict and loss of efficiency.

 Our recommendation was to address leadership mindsets and beliefs first, and then follow up with addressing skills.

 What was envisaged as a 2-workshop mandate, became a 3- phase engagement, rolled out across all the operating circles, over 2 years.

• Phase 1: Customised 3-day breakthrough immersions
• Phase 2: 1:1 coaching for all circle’s leadership team members, nationally.
• Phase 3: 3-day skill enhancement sessions

Outcome

• Leaders reported a sharper awareness of the impact of their styles on people, culture, and performance.
• Significantly enhanced candour and synergy, silo’d approach reduced.
• A culture that valued receiving and providing feedback.
• Skill building on enhancing engagement

All this was geared towards creating an assertive orientation-based work environment.
