(Self-)Leadership. People Development. Transformation
The challenge
Gini has undergone an impressive transformation and has established a unique leadership culture in the process. After several years of self-organization, the company introduced managers in November 2023 based on a self-created leadership manifesto. This change was and is associated with various challenging aspects that had to be taken into account in personnel development.
-
One of the key challenges was to find the right balance between central management and individual self-direction. Gini's goal was and is for all teams and employees to be able to make their own decisions while maintaining a clear focus on corporate goals. This required a rethink of leadership dynamics and the implementation of mechanisms that supported both autonomy and company guidelines.
-
In a self-organized work environment, individuals were more challenged to organize their own tasks and priorities effectively. This requires support to ensure that all employees are able to make the best use of their time and resources and manage their tasks independently. Even with the implementation of organizational structures, these skills remain important to strengthen autonomous work processes.
-
Promoting agility and collaboration were also challenges that Gini faced. The teams needed to become more responsive and adaptable to better respond to the market. This included improving communication and coordination between teams and individuals to ensure smooth collaboration.
The solution
thankscoach supports Gini in the individual development of the (self-)leadership skills of its specialists and managers.
Our approach includes individual 1:1 coaching sessions that specifically target the requirements of the primarily self-managed way of working. These sessions offer all employees the opportunity to bring in and address their individual issues. They support the development of (self-)leadership skills and promote understanding and positive interaction with Gini's organizational structure.
Above all, our digital solution enables on-demand support, which is a valuable resource, especially given the complexity of the way we work. In an environment where employees take on a lot of personal responsibility, individual questions and concerns arise time and again. These concerns can be addressed in a timely and targeted manner, which helps to overcome obstacles during the design of the leadership concept and accelerate the transformation process.
"Satisfied employees are very important to us at Gini, which is why we attach great importance to their further development. Our Ginis are eager to learn and strive for development, which is why I introduced the coaching program with thankscoach. I'm pleased to see that it has been so well received and that we can offer the team important added value."
The result
The results speak for themselves: almost 45% of Ginis can currently benefit from a tailored coaching journey (as at April 2024). This shows the high demand for individual support and the relevance of a coaching program in a dynamic environment. The coaching journeys help to strengthen the (self-)leadership skills of Ginis and promote the sustainable establishment of a self-directed way of working.
