Raising Performance and Effectiveness from The Top Down

The National Bank of Kuwait is a leading financial institution in The Middle East, with one of the largest overseas branch networks in 17 different countries.  Their IT department had undergone two years of rapid change, which prompted CIO Fadi Chehayeb to commission Teamworking International to look at the impact this was having on performance and effectiveness across the department.
 

Teamworking International were brought in to conduct an audit to identify, understand and improve the individual strengths of key department members.  A particular focus was placed on meeting the challenges of the Bank’s future growth potential. 
 

Astonishing insight into working styles and patterns of behaviour 

The process of Executive Development began with a fact-finding mission to identify the preferred patterns of behaviour and management styles of the senior team.  This formed the basis for individual and group coaching.

Many respondents gasped in disbelief during feedback, amazed by the accuracy of findings and the self-awareness it gave them.  These sessions enabled senior managers and executives to take onboard personal action plans and achieve breakthrough results in the way they motivate, coach and lead their teams.
