Transforming Leadership and Culture

Case Study

A leading insurance company, known for its technical excellence, faced high employee turnover, declining productivity, and stunted growth. Two key issues were identified:

  1. Promoting Technical Experts Without Developing Leadership Skills: Managers promoted from technical roles lacked the leadership skills necessary to succeed, and traditional training courses failed to drive the behavioural shifts required.
  2. Overemphasis on Technical Competence Over Human Competence: The company prioritized technical skills while neglecting essential human competencies, such as communication, empathy, and collaboration, leading to unclear expectations and limited growth in these critical areas.
 

The Impact

These challenges led to micromanagement, stifled innovation, high turnover, low engagement, and reduced customer satisfaction due to overly technical communication.
