Harmony in Motion: Elevating Executive Team Cohesion with Armada's Strategic Intervention
The problem they were facing
Upon the CEO's request, our team at Armada was enlisted by a mid-sized manufacturing company to enhance cohesion within its executive team and address potential communication gaps.
The team comprised a blend of long-term employees who had ascended through the ranks and key additions from a recent acquisition.
This strategic acquisition had bolstered the company's market position, and the CEO was keen on aligning the new team swiftly to capitalize on the emerging opportunities.
With the recent acquisition providing increased market leverage, the need for a harmonized and communicative executive team became paramount for optimal utilization of the company's newfound prospects.

Our Implemented Solutions

Awareness Sessions
Our approach commenced with individual awareness sessions for each team member. By comparing the findings, we identified common strengths and concerns, paving the way for a series of facilitated sessions.
These sessions delved into key themes, uncovered root causes, and formulated task-based action plans. Regular check-ins were incorporated to track progress on each action item.
The individual awareness sessions served as a diagnostic phase, enabling us to tailor subsequent interventions based on specific team dynamics and challenges.

Through candid discussions, the CEO acknowledged and addressed this reputation. He clarified his commitment to solution-oriented responses and pledged to consult relevant members of the leadership team when challenges arose.
