Dilemma
Decathlon Brasil's C-level team faced the challenge of keeping the business growing while innovating with new business models. Achieving this objective was only possible through collaboration between teams as well as the alignment of business vision and strategy with assertive decision-making through difficult conversations. These were skills that had not been sufficiently developed by their business leaders.
Approach
Conducted individual development sessions with the CEO to map out his strengths and vulnerabilities, clarify his role, and define his ambition for the business. Also conducted individual sessions and work sessions with C-level leaders to develop a space of trust for enabling individual and collective change.
Outcomes
- Clarity about the business vision and strategy achieved, thus enabling change among 40% of team members.
- A space of trust created that allowed for difficult conversations, thus enabling decision-making.
- Ability of CEO strengthened to take on greater challenges on a continental scale.
- Delivery of action plan that allowed for the alignment of all teams, resulting in greater collaboration and autonomy.
