The true, if anonymous, story of a leadership team's transformation
The Challenge
When Susan stepped into her role as CEO of a prominent national advocacy NGO, she faced a critical challenge: forging a unified leadership team from a group of relatively inexperienced managers. Recognising that team dynamics would be crucial to the organisation's success, she sought a comprehensive solution that would accelerate team development and establish a strong collaborative culture.
The Approach
A dual-track development programme was implemented combining personalised coaching with facilitated team workshops. Each member of the Leadership Team, including Susan, participated in:
Individual coaching sessions tailored to their leadership journey
A series of strategic team workshops focused on four key pillars:
- Delivering Together: Aligning on organisational goals and execution
- Working Together: Building collaborative relationships and trust
- Leading Together: Developing a unified leadership approach
- Managing Upwards: Enhancing communication and stakeholder management
The Impact
The programme catalysed rapid team development and created a foundation for sustainable success. The structured approach helped prevent common dysfunctions that often plague new management teams, enabling the Leadership Team to successfully deliver the year's Strategic Plan.
In the CEO's Words
"I am confident investing in the team in this way helped fast-track our coming-together to achieve the aims of our organisation. We were able to have conversations with each other that typically take time and circumstances to collide before they are had. This meant we were able to more quickly and collaboratively respond to the immediate challenges we faced as a new team and build on the solid foundation of an already open and effective culture."
