Developing a “Leadership for Growth” Culture for a Giant in Consumer Goods

Introduction

The demand that leaders be agile and resilient is reasonable, but new ways of thinking are needed that match the speed and complexity of today’s world. To be agile and resilient those leaders need to have flexible, inquiring minds and a willingness to experiment with innovative tools, techniques and behaviours. The challenge is to enable leaders to learn in ways that support flexibility, inquiry and an ability to experiment intelligently. That’s what the Booster programme has been built for.

Business Need

  • Ensure talented senior executives excel in their current and future roles.
  • Connect participants learning experiences to their organisation’s strategic imperatives strengthening their critical strategic & operational capabilities.
  • Provide participants with a unique opportunity to accelerate their leadership development and unleash their full potential, increasing their impact and personal effectiveness especially regarding their ability to change and transform organisations.

 Our Approach

  • An 18-month development journey with four residential modules together with monthly mentoring and bi-monthly executive coaching schemes ensuring participants are supported as per CFL effective practices for higher impact, a process experienced both by elite sport athletes and top global executives.
  • Module 1 kicked off with a dynamic “Executive Leadership Development” session followed by a Learning Expedition in London. Participants explored different organisational dynamics, creating a compelling leadership vision and narrative, and embracing feedback
    – A dedicated and intensive 3 days leadership module where each day was built around one dedicated framework leveraging CFL proprietary tools and methodologies that participants could practice on site and apply immediately with their teams.
    – A 2-day learning expedition as a facilitated action-learning experience that provided a framework to create stronger relationships and alignment on top of new business inspirations & perspectives.

The Results

  • At the end of the leadership module, participants had a deeper understanding of their leadership executive signature (their leadership DNA), a ritualised path and plan for higher personal effectiveness, a high level of energy and confidence to inspire and sustain their peers and teams.
  • Overall satisfaction score of 4.5 out 5 with a NPS of 95.
  • “The learning experience exceeded my expectations. The content and the derived requirements in terms of self-reflection and the respective discussions were demanding but helpful to understand our own behaviours in a better way and to define an individual path for further improvements on the leadership path. The agenda of the week was balanced with regards to (a) working on our own leadership style and (b) learning from others.”

“I met a lot of consultants, who have lots of complex models and very little to say, you are the total oppositive of them”
