The management of the French subsidiary of a leading food company wanted to reposition itself in a manager-coach logic, far away from the “command and control” approach that was so unmotivating for employees. It wanted to better develop the skills of its employees and stimulate their commitment and empowerment.
In two two-day seminars and subsequent implementation work, all managers and experts in the business and project teams were trained in the principles of coaching, questioning, goal setting and follow-up. Some of them, motivated by the subject, extend their training to other levers of collective intelligence and become ‘manager-coach experts’. They support their peers in the organisation and meet regularly to share and improve their practices and integrate new tools.
In two years, the management culture has been transformed to the satisfaction of the younger generations of employees, who enjoy working in this collaborative spirit, where the sharing of practices is constantly encouraged.
