Redefining behavioural norms and roles to enable a collaborative climate
Our client had a strong engineering and technical culture. The leadership culture did not foster autonomous thinking, creativity or inspiring younger staff, which led to low staff engagement. TPC Leadership delivered a 5 days leadership behaviours training program, over 5 months, for 200 managers. The company transformed from a slow innovation rate into an innovative cutting-edge company. The 360° scores manifested improvements in all the core areas related to enablement in service of innovation and engagement.

Implementing a new code of ethics
As they needed to change the existing culture and create a ‘Business Ethics’ code, our client identified 15 managers to act as change champions. Via a series of interactive internal workshops led by the champions, the ethics code would be cascaded throughout the organization to several hundred employees.
TPC Leadership ran ‘Train the trainer’ programs and helped develop the training design and delivery skills. The change champions all noted increased levels of self-confidence in capabilities to successfully deliver the workshops.

Creating a Leadership Academy
In order to create a shared vision for leadership across three core governmental organisations and transform leadership theory into practice, our client partnered with us to develop a Leadership Academy for promising leaders, usually sent abroad.
The most challenging part of this intervention was developing a bilateral cultural adaptation of the valued leadership paradigms.

Zurich Financial Services Group
A strategic approach to coaching
Our client’s Talent Management & Development Consultant began to develop concerns over the capability of some of their existing coaches, a large pool given relative autonomy.
To ensure all coaches were suited to the fast-paced high-change environment of the Financial Services industry, TPC Leadership Assessment Centre, pruned out coaches who lacked coaching qualifications and/or commitment.
The biggest difference made was the increase in confidence of coaching. Management no longer raised questions about whether the coaching spend was effective.

Developing a Performance Management System
In 2013 and 2014, TPC Leadership supported Iulius Mall, a large developer and operator of mixed-use projects in the real estate, in the creation and implementation of a Performance Management system.
The program was highly appreciated by the President of the Company; consistent positive feedback from both the employees and the managers and management started having performance conversations with their employees, systematically.
There was an increased sense of motivation for people, relying on a sense of fairness in receiving financial rewards and recognition and an increased capability, for the managers, to spot very talented employees and support their career path.

Leadership transition through performance management training
Between 2012 and 2017, TPC Leadership was called to support DCHI during a transition phase towards a leadership style able to mix a strategic and people development approach. Even though the operational teams were showing a good internal climate, the strong “command and control” managerial style, together with a lack of people management focus, had provoked throughout years a low level of initiative, ‘executor-attitude’ in people.
