As a purposeful organization, establishing a truly networked ecosystem can only come about with a shared vision, values and unifying principles. Marwa Farouq, Vice President People, Organization and Culture at Teach For All, explains how collectively dismantling the organizational hierarchy has had immense impact across their global network.
The challenge
LEADERS ARE EXPERIENCING CHALLENGING TIMES
Top leaders are under tremendous pressure due to massive disruption across industries. Research and experience show that a successful transformation depends on the buy-in and mindset shift of a critical mass of top managers. Yet achieving this change is far from easy.
In reality, top leaders often:
- Stick to what has worked in the past
- Don’t feel they have ownership of the new direction
- Get caught up in siloed thinking and goal conflicts rather than driving the bigger-picture change
- Don’t develop the decision-making processes and leadership culture that allows for courageous team decisions
- Could do more to make sure their teams are with them on the transformation journey
Our solution
The Leadership Circle brings leaders together to drive your organization’s transformation. It is a dedicated space for a group of committed leaders to explore HOW to best work together in the future.
Through regular, intimate circle sessions your leaders will exchange ideas, learn from external experts and set the agenda for your business.
THE LEADERSHIP CIRCLE EMPOWERS LEADERS TO BE CATALYSTS FOR CHANGE, DRIVING A TRANSFORMATION MOVEMENT IN YOUR ORGANIZATION.
The DO Group has worked with world leading companies to form leadership circles, create networks and build shared mindsets within their top leadership.

Traditionally, organizational change used to focus on communication efforts and training. But senior leaders in today’s global companies are not in need of traditional training. Instead, they need:

A space that allows them to explore challenges and create common ground.

An exchange that creates ownership, minimizes doubt and ignites passion.

A format that creates networks within the organization and with outside leaders to exchange expertise and build trust.

An engaged group that explores new ways of working and builds a support system for tackling crucial topics for future success.
LEADERSHIP CIRCLES HELP YOUR ORGANIZATION TO:

1. CREATE OPEN DIALOGUE
By opening dialogue around challenging topics and best practices, the Leadership Circle creates momentum amongst your top leadership and establishes them as the first movers in your company’s new direction.

2. EMBRACE NEW REALITIES
Working across silos, the Leadership Circle creates measurable ROI through a cohesive top management team and enables faster decision-making.

3. CREATE SPACE FOR EXCHANGE
The Leadership Circle creates a safe, open, and honest space in which board members and top managers can discuss how to move forward jointly.
