Developing leaders to support business growth

As Fabric Group grew, it chose to invest in the people leading its teams. A group of ten leaders were taking on more responsibility for their teams, their clients and delivery. Fabric wanted to give this group a shared, consistent approach to leadership that could scale across teams and projects as the business grew.

Objective Leader ran a leadership coaching program for the group, combining one-on-one coaching with facilitated group sessions. The coaching gave each leader space to work on real leadership and people challenges, how they communicate, delegate, handle difficult conversations and think strategically, with the one-on-one sessions tailored to each person's own goals and development areas.

The program translated into practical change in how Fabric's leaders work. Participants opened up more conversations across teams to close communication gaps and build rapport, gave their people more autonomy while staying available to support them, and delivered tougher feedback constructively. Several applied new approaches to difficult conversations with stakeholders and began contributing more strategically in their areas. The one-on-one coaching stood out as the most valuable element, and the program gave Fabric a clear view of how it wants to keep developing its leaders as the business grows.
