Metamorphosis designed and conducted a year long leadership development program that exceeded participant’s expectations and is positioning the client to achieve their growth agenda.
Client: Our client is a global energy generator and power marketer with world-wide operations and revenues of $3B.
Situation: The VP of Energy Trading requested Metamorphosis design and conduct a one year development program for 16 managers that would significantly improve their leadership effectiveness and position the group for a sustained period of growth.
Approach: Through consultations with the VP, Metamorphosis defined a targeted set of skills and practices to develop, organized into 5 themes: Sensing, Initiating, Coordinating, Emotions, and Teams. Each theme was studied for two months, during which concepts were introduced in readings and training sessions, followed by study group discussions, one-on-one coaching by Metamorphosis, and application in real work situations.
Results: Participants felt the program exceeded any previous leadership training they had experienced and recommended it be continued and expanded. The program addressed certain critical topics, such as listening and empathy, that were missing in other programs. The use of study groups, coaching, and real work application over an extended period of time helped build real, practical, and sustainable leadership capabilities.
