This organization was considered the "Disneyland of places to work" and that wasn't a good thing. It meant you could just show up, sit around and chat with others but nothing really needed to be accomplished. One underlying cause of the problem was the need to focus on leadership development and increased accountability. PDG worked with the organization to create and facilitate their "Leadership University" - a highly respected three-year development program for high-potential employees. We graduated 20 leaders from the program and ultimately the COO stated that the sale of the business to a larger multi-national corporation was partially the result of the work/results of the leadership university.
“I just wanted to tell you how amazing the meeting PDG facilitated was. I don't know how you did what you did but I think what you accomplished was nothing short of amazing. I have to tell you, I had a negative attitude when you first started and even thought this was going to be a lot of psychological mumbo-jumbo but couldn't believe what I saw happen with our group.”
