Drive Accountability and Build A Mindset for Growth
Want to drive accountability for your mission and financial results?
The following is an actual case study of our work with a leader from a successful non-profit organization
The Non-Profit Leader Situation:
The Leader of a national non-profit organization identified a bold strategy and plan for growth in his first year as CEO. He experienced high levels of resistance from his key direct reports with each of the five initiatives outlined in the growth plan. The initiatives were stalled
Our Approach:
Our strategy is designed to help leaders elevate their leadership skills and also recognize blind spots preventing them from maximizing their performance. We help leaders expand their thinking to implement new behaviors and habits. We provide an unbiased, outside and experienced point of view to help leaders hold up the mirror to assess and reflect on personal strengths and weaknesses.
Our Process:
- Collaboratively Identified Leader Behaviors And Actions to Drive Accountability and to Create a Growth Mindset Culture
- Interviewed Leaders Direct Reports to Understand Their Perspectives and Ideas for Gaining Alignment and Building a Growth Mindset
- Collaboratively Developed an Action Plan with the Leader to Drive Accountability as well as Create Growth Mindset across his Team
- Coached Leader How to:
- Help Direct Reports Identify Milestones for Key Initiatives
- Conduct Quarterly Conversations with Direct Reports
- Conducted a Growth Mindset Workshop for ~40 Leaders and Provided a Tool Kit for Leaders to Cascade Across the Organization
The Result:
After Six Months…
- CEO inspiring and Empowering His Team. 5 Initiatives are Progressing. Key Milestones have been Met
- Leader has Instituted a Habit of Conducting Monthly Sessions with Direct Reports to Discuss Achievements and Suggested Actions
- Growth Mindset Factors Were Identified and Are Now Embedded in Recruiting and Annual Reviews
