Building Leadership Capability Across a Distributed Tech Team

I worked with the leader of a large technology team located across Australia, and their executive team, over a twelve-month period, helping them enhance their skills in listening, inquiry, coaching and feedback. We subsequently extended this work to the next level of leadership. Finally, by training this broader group of leaders to be facilitators of the content, they are now playing an active role in teaching what they learned to extended leadership team.

The executive team have embedded processes into their regular team meetings to remind themselves of their goals and monitor progress, making course corrections as needed.

Against a backdrop of major reorganisation, cost reduction, and job losses, they were able to shift the financial performance of the team and watch their culture scores move more than ten percentage points year on year — from the bottom quartile to just above the Australian average.
