What
During this start-up’s early days, management took tight control of the reigns to ensure survival. But after a change in the executive ranks, the CEO wanted to trade the culture of domination for collaboration.
How
Strategy began at the top, by retraining the CEO to cultivate participation, teamwork, and creative thinking among employees and shifting his management style away from dictatorial.
Using behavioral assessments, day retreats, team-building activities, and fun visioning exercises away from the workplace, we enabled the executive team to discover for themselves how powerful and positive good communication among a diverse group is, and how to keep priorities and even fun a part of working together — even in a chaotic start-up environment.
