Major international car manufacturer, Germany – Leadership development across Europe

Our client is one of the leading car manufacturers in the world, with over 300,000 employees worldwide and 22,000 in Germany. The company wanted to put a timely, contemporary and inspiring leadership development program in place to create a clear and consistent leadership approach throughout Europe. Managers needed to help lead a challenging business turnaround. The initiative involved Germany, United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Hungary, Portugal, Sweden, Italy, Spain and Greece.
 
What was delivered:
  • Three leadership development programs, with additional ‘satellite’ workshops and project initiatives in-between. 
  • ‘Leadership 1’ focused on leadership roles, values and change management approaches in the context of the corporate vision and values, and changes in strategy. 
  • ‘Leadership 2’ zoomed in on the role of manager as trainer, coach and team leader, leadership styles and their effective use. 
  • ‘Leadership 3’ addressed performance management at individual and team levels.
 
What has been achieved:
  • The ‘Leadership 1-2-3’ program became the blueprint for leadership qualification for the entire mid-management across Europe. Over 3,000 managers were trained by TMI. 
  • Managers developed a shared understanding of the organizational vision and values, and how to translate and apply these in their daily work.
  • Managers successfully applied new ways to create and maintain positive motivation and performance in the face of a very difficult market situation.
