✨ Here's how we executed a global turnaround ✨ As advisor to the CEO and top team, we supported the critical leadership and culture dimensions of the successful turnaround of a deeply troubled global company. The project included assessing the cultural stress points and conflicts within the multinational organization and working with the CEO, executive team, and other leaders to develop a compelling sense of purpose for the organization, which became the foundation for all other turnaround activity, including an action agenda for change and a set of high-performance behaviors expected of the CEO through to the frontlines. The turnaround based on these foundations was extremely successful and transformed the company within three years from one of the worst-performing companies in its peer group to one of the best-performing.
