ORGsight partnered with the technical division of a global resource company to deliver a tailored 360-degree leadership program for Manager-level leaders. The program aimed to improve understanding of leader behaviours, team culture, and performance by providing actionable feedback on non-technical leadership elements. This initiative builds on the recommendations from a cultural transformation project spearheaded by ORGsight, addressing outcomes and implementation support for leadership development.

Program Design and Purpose

The program was designed to:

• Facilitate Leadership Feedback: Provide employees across the division’s departments with the opportunity to offer feedback on their leaders’ non-technical behaviours.
• Develop Leadership Insight: Improve leaders’ understanding of how their behaviours influence team culture and performance.
• Support Leadership Growth: Equip leaders with tools and coaching to address feedback and enhance their impact on their teams and working groups.

Assessment Framework

The program utilised the Saville suite of assessments, including:

1. Saville Wave Professional Styles:
   1. A self-reported personality assessment providing insights into motives, preferences, and talents.
   2. Offers a forward-looking perspective, focusing on leaders’ potential across different work situations.
2. Saville Wave Performance 360:
   1. A multi-source feedback tool gathering insights from managers, peers, direct reports, and other stakeholders.
   2. Focuses on observed behaviours, providing a retrospective view of leaders’ performance.

The integration of these two assessments offered leaders a holistic perspective, highlighting alignment or discrepancies between how they see themselves and how others perceive them. This dual approach guided discussions and action planning.

Program Structure

• 360-Degree Assessment: Manager-level leaders participated in the Saville Wave assessment process to gather comprehensive feedback.
• 6-Month Leadership Coaching Program: Following the assessments, leaders embarked on a structured coaching program aimed at:
  • Identifying individual development opportunities.
  • Supporting team-level and working group actions aligned with organisational recommendations.
• Outcome-Oriented Conversations: Sessions were tailored to help leaders translate feedback into actionable strategies, improving both individual and team performance.

Outcomes and Impact

The program delivered measurable benefits for leaders and their teams:

• Enhanced Leadership Insight: Leaders gained a clear understanding of their strengths, areas for improvement, and potential blind spots.
• Improved Team Culture: By addressing feedback, leaders were better equipped to foster a positive and collaborative work environment.
• Alignment with Organisational Goals: The program supported the internal project team in delivering outcomes from the cultural transformation initiative, aligning leadership behaviours with broader organisational objectives.
