Leadership Cohesion
Supporting the leadership teams of departments, divisions or whole organisations to become more effective in achieving strategic aims collectively.
Leadership capability is often assessed individually, for instance when recruiting or promoting senior leaders. Leadership development programmes focus on the individual and the effectiveness of their relationships with others to achieve progress towards organisational goals.
But what happens when the top team are pulling in different directions? How is this felt elsewhere in the organisation and how is it impacting culture and performance?
Is your organisation experiencing:
- Performance not meeting expectations – however you measure performance, whether through growth, profitability, customer satisfaction, effectiveness measures, we work with you to on a systematic review of the reasons and co-design solutions. For example, you may choose to refresh your strategy, align teams towards purpose or initiate a development programme.
- Lack of innovation – an inability to adapt quickly to changes in the external environment due to market shifts or disruptive technology such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), slow product development and stalling initiatives.
- Change fatigue – low energy and enthusiasm for change initiatiatives, disengagement and resistance to change are symptomatic of change fatigue requiring fresh new approaches to change.
- High turnover/attrition rates –employees may not be satisfied with their work, manager and/or organisation, or feel that their opportunities to progress are limited.
- Low employee morale – characterised by a lack of enthusiasm and initiative, ‘quiet quitting’ or ‘can’t do’ attitudes.

Case Study: Leadership cohesion in a Global Technology Group
This 2,000-strong organisation operating in 30 countries is seeking a leaner, more efficient shared services function. The Group Functional Director is sponsoring a four-year programme of digital transformation and organisation re-design.
The Global Heads of Function, based in Europe, Far East, North and South America are accustomed to working within their geographical region. The Group Director approached Roffey Park looking for external facilitation of their first face-to-face meeting in Europe.
With a clear call to action, the group needed to navigate some tricky interpersonal relationships and align on a shared vision for functional transformation. After two days, not only were they able to make real progress on agreeing the opportunities, themes and risks, the scene was set for closer integration and collaboration which has positively impacted their day-to-day operations. Roffey Park now has an ongoing programme of one-to-one executive coaching with Global Heads.
