Context & Objectives:

A listed shipping company with operations spanning the U.K., Philippines, and Cyprus embarked on a high-stakes transformation and turnaround initiative. The organization recognized the need to strengthen leadership capabilities across both emerging and senior leaders managing local and regional teams.

The primary objectives of this engagement were:

  • To enhance leadership and stakeholder communication for improved collaboration and influence.
     
  • To drive team and organizational performance through clear goal-setting and accountability.
     
  • To support leaders in elevating their focus from operational tasks to strategic priorities.
     
  • To equip managers with the skills and confidence to lead through organizational change.
     
  • To strengthen delegation, ownership, and accountability across teams to ensure sustainable results.

By addressing these objectives, the program aimed to enable leaders to navigate complex challenges, align their teams with group-wide transformation goals, and build a resilient, high-performing leadership pipeline.

Approach:

The program was delivered as a hybrid model, combining 1:1 coaching, team coaching, shadow coaching, 360 feedback, and online coaching sessions. This blended methodology ensured that leaders received continuous guidance and real-time feedback while having the flexibility to apply insights in their day-to-day work.

Each participant was provided executive coaching that addressed their individual development needs, while team sessions reinforced collaboration, alignment, and strategic thinking at the group level. Shadow coaching allowed the coaches to observe leaders in real-world scenarios, offering precise feedback on decision-making, communication, and stakeholder engagement.

360 feedback assessments provided a multi-perspective view of leadership effectiveness, enabling participants to identify strengths and growth areas. Online coaching sessions offered additional reinforcement, allowing leaders to reflect on lessons, set goals, and track progress throughout the engagement.

The coaching focus areas included:

  • Enhancing leadership and stakeholder communication.
     
  • Driving performance through goal clarity, monitoring, and actionable strategies.
     
  • Elevating leaders from an operational mindset to a strategic focus.
