The Challenge
Colgate Palmolive embraced the need for establishing a compelling Vision and Shared Values as well as creating empowered, team-oriented organizations worldwide. It was important to the European Senior Leadership Team that this process not simply become a "plaque on the wall" or a fad to be replaced by something else. Colgate Palmolive-Europe wanted to create an environment where employees from different countries and functions could excel as one team. The goal was to move to a participative, team oriented, empowered organization, aligned to a common vision.
The Journey
Renaissance Leadership facilitated an executive Vision-Values master planning retreat, followed by two Senior Leadership Team sessions and a 360° Values survey and analysis, coaching most leaders within the European Division. Team and Leadership Development sessions focusing on team alignment were conducted with country management, headquarters, and the diverse, far-flung marketing organization.
The Renaissance
While benchmarks are still being measured year to year, Colgate Palmolive-Europe has already seen improved speed, innovation and excellence. They are united by shared values and operating principles and driven by common purpose. The team is beginning to work in concert and leveraging like never before. |
