Strengthening Leadership Focus: GCL Environmental's Path to Team Alignment
Founded in 2008, GCL environmental ltd. is an environmental consulting company specializing in managing and mitigating environmental liabilities for their clients. As the company pursued growth, refining team alignment and strategic focus became key priorities.
Challenges prior to Growth Catalyst:
- Lack of Leadership Focus: The leadership team faced difficulties maintaining a unified focus on key initiatives, affecting strategic coherence.
- Cohesion Gaps: Communicating the leadership's vision and ensuring it was embraced throughout the organization proved challenging.
- Cultural Misalignment: There was a need for stronger alignment between the company’s strategic goals and the broader team’s understanding and engagement.
Growth Catalyst outcomes:
- Enhanced Leadership Focus: The program helped the leadership team align on shared initiatives, creating a cohesive strategic direction.
“The greatest benefits has been getting our leadership team focused on the same initiatives moving forward. Creating cohesion from our top leadership down and permeating that throughout the company has been the biggest benefit I've seen.” — Calinda McEwen, Senior Operations Lead, GCL Environmental
- Improved Communication: Revisiting internal processes and culture led to better communication and engagement across the team.
“Looking inward at our culture and operations was very powerful. We led initiatives to revisit the modules and brought our larger team along in an empowering way to gain their buy-in. This gave us the chance to share our Growth Catalyst learnings and align the team.”
—Ryan Puhlmann, Senior Operations Lead, GCL Environmental
- Unified Strategic Direction: By integrating the company’s vision with the team’s efforts, Growth Catalyst helped foster a more aligned and focused organization.
