Translating a Leadership Charter into Everyday Behaviours

Sector: Financial Services Sector

Business context

A fast-growing financial services business wanted to ensure its leadership charter was translated into everyday behaviours that would support future growth plans.

What we did:

The work was designed to connect leadership behaviours directly to the client's strategic priorities and embed these across the leadership community.

We worked in partnership to:

    • translate leadership expectations into clear, observable leadership behaviours
    • deliver a 360 Feedback and Coaching Exercise across the Executive Team and Senior Leaders
    • co-design and co-deliver a Leadership Programme combining workshops, coaching and a Hackathon focused on a live strategic challenge

Impact:

Positive movement across all leadership behaviours, evidenced through a repeat 360 process

Significant increases in:

    • adapting leadership style
    • open and frequent communication
    • team empowerment and stakeholder engagement
  • A Hackathon idea being included in the organisation’s strategy
  • An improvement in the organisation’s Investors in People status from Silver to Gold 
  • Recognition of the impact through a CIPD Award 

Client perspective 

Involving people from across the business in shaping a response to a pressing strategic challenge was a fantastic way for us to gain insight, enable the leadership community to appreciate the bigger picture, and strengthen how we operate.
