  2. Build a Strengths-based performing team in the financial services sector.

Launch a Strengths-based Leadership Program for Newly Hired Recent Graduate Engineers

A large engineering business aimed to foster self-development among participants in their Leadership Program for Newly Hired Recent Graduate Engineers. In tandem with strengths-based group coaching, participants accessed their CliftonStrengths® 34  talent profiles and engaged with their peers in self-coaching development activities via the e2grow app.

With the e2grow self-coaching app, regular nudges and activities enhanced their self-awareness and alignment of their strengths into their daily roles and responsibilities.

 

Immediate ROI:  This new awareness enabled participants to build more quickly their success/development plan to discuss with their manager.   This insight was a catalyst for a new generation of collaborators that are looking to take charge of their careers and have access to easily accessible online self-learning resources to boost their potential.

Build a Strengths-based performing team in the financial services sector

A Director was looking for an innovative way to elevate teamwork, collaboration, and autonomy. The journey of team and Leadership self-discovery allowed each team member to better understand their strengths and their colleagues.  Together, they co-created concrete solutions to elevate their potential and team potential.  To move forward, together.

Immediate ROI:  The Director had at his fingertips, new insights to better coach the team and engage each member. The e2grow self-coaching app, combined with “live” strengths-based team coaching, empowered this team to establish aligned goals, engage in reflective practices, and thrive through shared learning experiences.

 

Results

In both scenarios, the e2grow app serves as a performance, engagement and self-coaching accelerator, facilitating continuous learning and coaching. It also fosters a robust support network and helps break-down silos. Team members connect, collaborate, and draw insights from one another, resulting in improved teamwork.

Managers finally have concrete and effective tools at their fingertips to build habits to become better leader-coaches.

 

For individuals and teams alike, the magic lies in consistency and application. Once you’ve completed your strengths-based initial coaching, it’s all about leveraging your strengths to reach your full potential.

Co-Leadership in Practice: Rebuild and Re-launch the Management Team after the Pandemic

Nuage de mot anglais
Business Challenge

After three years of the pandemic, the General Manager of a company in the service industry needed to quickly re-build his management team. Ambitious objectives needed to be achieved and the pressure to deliver results to owners was high.

The new Team consisted of 17 managers with a blend of seasoned/experienced leaders as well as young Leaders with limited leadership and management experience. Many members of this Team came from other industries, which brought new perspectives and a desire challenge the status quo and to do things differently. In addition, a new HR Director was recently hired

The challenges were substantial.

  • Create a cohesive team – Break down silos and stimulate collaboration between departments. Team synergy is at the heart of customer satisfaction and performance.
  • Quickly integrate new Managers.
  • Re-motivate and energize the seasoned management team members heavily impacted by the pandemic.
  • Rally the Team around a common vision and align them to the corporate values to return to business growth.

And this need to be done in a context of labor shortage and pressure.

Solutions

The Co-Leadership Group designed and implemented a collaborative, strengths-based coaching journey over several months. A deliverable was the co-creation of the team vision.  Our coaching approach led to the co-creation of a Team vision, achieved through a series of team coaching and sub-group work sessions.

This vision included:

  • An inspiring team’s purpose that gave meaning to actions.
  • The 5 significant strategic priorities to achieve together to align the team to common goal.
  • Key Measures of success – to assess progress and celebrate achievements.
  • Collective and individual action plans to propel the achievement of strategic priorities.

During this coaching journey, the management team was initiated to various strengths-based and collective intelligence approaches.  Leaders were coached to facilitate various sessions.  This sparked inter-discipline synergies and teamwork. Most of all, leaders began to help each other.

Finally, our sports coach – Jean-Philippe Blémur – helped leaders to better take care of themselves.  Our coaching journey prioritized self-care and wellness, with several activities implemented to stimulate well-being and energy. Our leaders committed to prioritize their wellness, together, and set up individual and group activities throughout the year.

Results

The team coaching journey is still underway and Codevelopment Action Learning sessions are being planned. The goals are to accelerate the achievement of the 5 strategic priorities, continue to foster teamwork across units and elevate leadership capabilities.

The General Manager, the Human Resources Director and the Managers have highlighted that, to date:

The management team is engaged around a common vision – All team members were proud to present their collective vision and action plans. 

Furthermore:

  • Each department have their action plan for success.
  • Team synergy and fun is amplified. Leaders have experienced the power of breaking down silos and co-creating solutions, together. Creativity has been enhanced by the synergy of everyone’s strengths as well as mutual support and sharing.
  • Leaders are better equipped to succeed together this year.
  • The General Manager and the HR Director have a concrete game plan to continue to support the managers.
  • The entire team is aware that better collaboration, trust and focus can only be created by investing time and energy in self-knowledge, communication, teamwork and synergy of strengths.
