Team Development
Building team leadership requires more than just choosing the best players. RHR consultants guide organizational development by working with the individual members and the team as a whole. The goal is alignment behind the strategic requirements needed for organizational success.
Before: New CEO Must Build Team Leadership to Achieve Success
“Our business was in trouble after 16 straight quarters of poor performance. The investment community and the shareholders were not happy. The board brought me in with the clear expectation that I would lead a full-scale turnaround. I looked at the business model and the senior team leadership and realized I had a complete organizational development situation on my hands. I needed answers to three critical questions: Does the company have the right people? Are they aligned with the demands of the business? How do we develop them into leaders who will drive results?
“I was still learning the organization’s culture, but was under pressure and needed action fast. I had worked with RHR International at my previous position and knew their consultants were specialists in team leadership and organizational development, so I asked them to come in and evaluate the situation.”
After: Team Leadership and Organizational Development Drive a Company Turnaround
“Through in-depth conversations with the managing director and senior management, our consultants developed a Profile of Success™ that aligned top executives around the critical team leadership behaviors required to implement the client’s evolving business model. Systemic issues were identified and addressed at the corporate, division, function and team levels.
“We customized a 360° feedback tool and employed it with one-on-one interviews to conduct developmental assessments for the company’s top 90 executives. A Leadership Development Plan™ was drafted for each.
“The team leadership process was completed in nearly half the usual time putting leaders on a fast development track to meet turnaround time pressures. Leaders successfully shifted focus to addressing business needs and motivating their teams toward positive change. The client strongly indicated that it found a measurable link between the team leadership development undertaken by RHR and the company’s positive business results.”
