Case Study
From Self-Awareness to a High-Performing Team, Promoting Leadership Diversity
The Client
Our client is a global consulting and IT services company which has been acquired by one of the largest global IT companies recently. Known for providing a high level of accountability to their people and also by their entrepreneurship and employee-centric culture, they have been growing double-digit for a long time now.
The Challenge
The CEO has felt the need to reinforce the concept of high-performing teams, working across the board from the executive team to the first line managers, a total of 75 leaders. Working collaboratively as a firm and creating an environment of psychologic safety to leverage on the diversity of leadership profiles, were their main goals.
The Solution
- Increase self awareness by understanding the individual preferences of each leader, using a psychometric tool (Prophet Profiling) and an individual feedback session;
- Foster the discovery of diversity of profiles through an immersive group session focusing on sharing and understanding each leaders’ preferences;
An excellent initiative! An enthusiastic feedback from everyone involved. A clear vision that everyone can be the professional “persona” they are and a clear view that knowing these personas is crucial to the overall group's success. Also, a surprisingly positive way to connect people in times of lockdown.
