The Worcester SLT wanted to step back from day-to-day operational pressure and focus on how they work as a leadership team.
Following a period of significant change across the site, the goal was to strengthen collaboration, improve how decisions and priorities get handled, and create clearer ownership across the group.
Direction was already clear. This was about how leadership shows up day to day.
Experienced leaders, each responsible for critical areas of a complex site. Individually, capability was strong. The challenge was in how that capability came together.
When pressure increased, leaders naturally drove hard in their own areas. Ownership of decisions sometimes became unclear. Challenge happened too late or didn’t land well. Collaboration was strongest in a crisis, but less consistent day to day.
The team also wanted to respond to engagement feedback calling for stronger collaboration within the leadership group.
A highly practical leadership session combining team reflection, leadership development and communication tools, focused on alignment, accountability and stronger team behaviours throughout.
LEGO Serious Play was used early in the day to surface perspectives constructively, helping the group explore how collaboration currently works and what stronger teamwork could look like in practice.
Simple frameworks for feedback, challenge and decision-making were introduced throughout, always grounded in situations the team faces daily.
The team left with stronger alignment on shared priorities, a clearer way of working together and practical tools they could use straight away.
Key dynamics that had been difficult to surface got addressed openly. Leaders felt more equipped to challenge and support each other. And there was a clearer rhythm for accountability and follow-through going forward.
The session focused on the reality of leadership rather than theory. By combining honest conversation with practical tools, the team moved from reflection to action quickly.
