General Manager Achieves Bonus Targets through Leadership Team Coaching
Problem/Challenge:
The General Manager (GM) at a large global manufacturing company was concerned that his leadership team was falling behind in their stated objectives of achieving a 30% increase in company revenues set for the new year. The GM wanted to motivate his direct reports and their respective teams to meet company objectives by year end. The GM also wanted to identify inefficiencies or limitations that would negatively impact the desired outcome. The goal was to ensure that the company achieved their fiscal goals and that each team was operating at maximum efficiency without undue pressure to perform.
... Solution Through leadership coaching, we determined three ways in which the GM could strengthen his leadership team. Their plan included a 360-degree assessment for his team and a workshop on establishing objectives. The GM was coached on how to hold structured goal-setting and development conversations with each member of his team. Through one/one coaching sessions with the GM’s direct reports, we also uncovered some management practices that could be improved to support morale and empower each team to take greater ownership of their targets and achievements. Outcome As a result, the GM was able to implement personalized development plans for each leader, enabling each of them to reach their departmental goals which ultimately enabled the business to achieve their annual revenue goals and each department achieved their bonus targets.
