Leadership Development for Strategy Execution
Industry: Non-Profit / Property
Focus Area: Leadership development, team cohesion, organisational culture
Key Outcome: Stronger cross-state collaboration, aligned leadership behaviours, and measurable progress toward a high-performing team culture
Region: Australia
Context
A property industry and for purpose organisation needed its leadership group to work more cohesively to deliver on an ambitious strategy. The organisation was growing, expectations were rising and leadership behaviour was a key lever for execution.
The challenge
Leaders were aligned on intent but not always on behaviour
Teams experienced mixed messages and variable follow through
Collaboration across functions depended too much on personal relationships
Strategy translation into day to day work was inconsistent
The risk was a drift between stated strategy and lived experience.
What Michael did
Future Focus Consulting designed and delivered a leadership program focused on cohesion and practical execution. Work included:
Co designing a leadership framework that linked behaviours to strategic goals
Facilitating workshops to build trust, clarify expectations and name unspoken tensions
Using live organisational challenges as practice ground for new ways of working
Coaching leaders between sessions to embed shifts in mindset and behaviour
Creating simple routines for cross team alignment and review
The program treated leadership development as a lever for system change, not an isolated training event.
What changed
Clearer, shared understanding of how leadership behaviours supported or blocked strategy
Stronger collaboration across functions, with less reliance on informal workarounds
Leaders reporting greater confidence in having the conversations that mattered
A more coherent culture that supported delivery in both the property and for purpose context
