How to transform technical profiles into leaders
- Advisory
- Training
Challenge
Strategic context of the project
- In the teams of one of the leading European telecoms company, some leaders felt they had landed their role by chance, i.e. because they were the most expert or senior, because it was seen as a logical career progression, or because it was difficult to find leaders who were also technicians.
- The market (experiencing labor shortages) is stretched resulting in leaders who don’t feel qualified for the job, and who get little value from their managerial activities.

Problems
01
Specific needs
Briefing, working with subcontractors, planning issues, time pressure, safety measures…
02
Pragmatic audience
Generally, they do not like attending training courses and traditional leadership programs do not suit them either, because they are too theoretical, too long, too far away from the reality on the workfloor.
Solutions
01
Diagnosis of target groups e.g. department heads (interviews, assessments, observations, etc.)
02
Career development plans and journeys per function on specific topics e.g. change, feedback culture, etc.
03
Proposing a range of adaptable approaches, including training, coaching, getting them to work on a cross-cutting project, debriefing sessions with their line manager, structured usage instructions, individual plans, mentoring, etc.
