Developing Leaders in a Fortune 100 Global Company
As a leader in its industry, our client thrived in moments of disruption. The current economic and political landscape has taken the level of volatility to a new level, putting the company’s culture of innovation at risk and causing significant strife amongst leaders in middle management. As top leaders positioned the firm strategically to remain resilient, there was a clear need to sharpen the capabilities and reshape the mindsets of current leaders to balance discipline and process while maintaining creativity and ingenuity.
“Developing our leaders is a top priority. We work in a matrixed universe and the waves keep coming. The pace of change is aggressive and requires new ways of thinking and acting.”
The idealis Approach
Partnering closely with idealis designed a leadership development experience tailored to the client’s dynamic and fun environment. Grounded in our high-performance, high-humanity approach, the program empowered leaders to navigate complexity, foster adaptability, and align their personal growth with business priorities. The idealis team conducted Executive Interviews to better understand the priorities and dynamics in the business. In addition, a thorough review of archival data was done to incorporate existing leadership frameworks, performance management trends and developmental areas highlighted through other processes. The team worked closely with Learning & Development counterparts to Design an Experience that incorporated familiar frameworks to ensure continuity and consistency in messaging, while also bringing in next and best practices grounded in research and experience to support the development of a new way of thinking and leading in the current context.
