CASE STUDY
Capricorn Leadership works with clients to build better leadership teams, instill more accountability, create healthier culture, build more discipline into things like meeting rhythm and quarterly planning, and hire people who fit and thrive.
Among many other things.
All of these efforts focused on building a better company, culture, processes, and accountability sounds great, and are great. But these efforts are part of a success story because they drive results.
A recent series of interviews with a Capricorn Leadership client uncovers examples of leadership consulting creating a better way – and a better result.
Meeting Rhythm
“Our month-to-month management cadence did not really exist”
- A consistent meeting rhythm is key to a healthy organization.
Consistent Agenda
“Our communication was inconsistent”
“The standard agenda triggered a cascade effect throughout the organization”
- A standard set of agendas are great tools that ensure the right information is communicated consistently.
Accountability
“Made me uncomfortable, and good with being uncomfortable”
“Moved us from an unstructured operation to one with things like scorecards and rocks – real game changers for us”
“Established a 1-page EMAP – making it easy to see our progress”
- Clear accountability for the leadership and the rest of the organization is a key component to achieving your organization’s goal.
Recruiting and Retention
“We replaced numerous heads of departments”
“We got better at hiring and saw less churn”
“We got better at identifying candidates (5/5/5 review process)”
- Getting the right People in the Right Seats – Organizations that fail here, waste their most valuable asset – their people.
Better Delegation
“He moved us away from the mistake of doing too many things at the executive level”
- Good delegation makes better use of talent, pulls more people into the process, and increases accountability generally
Third-Party Point of View
“Rom helped pull the answers out of us”
- A good facilitator is like a mirror – reflecting back your strengths and weaknesses, and clarifying what you need to do to grow and succeed
Better Result for Clients / Bottom Line Improvements
“Before working with Rom, our “success” came with costs: losing customers, unaddressed tech issues”
“We saw a great multiplier at exit; much thanks to Rom”
- Better Execution = Better Results. Quantifiable!
As we plan for 2022, we must all grow as leaders. Make a difference in your life, the lives of your employees, and take your company to the next level. To find out more, contact Rom LaPointe.
