READ A CUSTOMER STORY
One organization contacted me because they were facing their fifth leader in seven years. The previous leadership was described as being autocratic and “unfair” by both leaders and employees and due to this approach created a toxic, negative atmosphere and compromised the morale of the organization. The new leadership’s style was participatory and inclusive which wasn’t fully accepted by staff, because burned from the previous leadership, they didn’t trust that the new leader would do as he said he would.
To meet this situation, I obtained quite a bit of background information and we decided to deliver two programs, one for leaders and one for employees. During part of the day spent with the leaders, I provided change templates to identify their team’s level of acceptance of the change and challenges as they perceived them. We then focused on facilitating solutions in a lively exchange aimed at putting strategy in place. The second part of the leader training focused on what was being presented to their employees and how these leaders could take what their employees learned and continue the conversation with them.
The team session was designed to help employees understand the nature of making transitions and what it required of them. I then create an interactive team exercise aimed at gathering their input about what they needed without the leaders being present to encourage real dialogue.
Together we achieved positive results. The new leader then took the results and my debriefing consult from both sessions and conducted small group conversations. He was able to build trust, create solution with employee and leader input and redirect what was looking to be an increasing toxic situation into positive team environment.
