ADDICTIVE LEADERSHIP
Windham Brannon invested significant time and resources into developing a three-year strategic plan aimed at maximizing growth, enhancing profitability, and strengthening their market position. While the plan addressed key areas such as talent management, client service, revenue growth, and operational efficiency, the firm faced a hurdle as they entered the second year. They struggled to implement the more challenging efficiency initiatives because they weren't prepared to do the 'Uncomfortable Work' required for execution and accountability.
One year into the strategic plan, Windham Brannon partnered with Addictive Leadership to help their leaders move the most challenging aspects of their strategy forward, specifically the growth and efficiency-focused initiatives. Addictive Leadership provided the necessary accountability structure and actionable process. This approach turned critical elements of the strategic plan into reality by ensuring the team engaged in the uncomfortable-but-necessary work that had previously prevented them from achieving their envisioned results.
By implementing the Addictive Leadership program, the firm achieved significant operational improvements: - Achieved roughly $2M of cost savings, over the course of the 12-month program. - Seven senior leaders freed over 250 hours each in the first 6 months. - Achieved a more balanced infrastructure-to-revenue ratio. - Secured higher realization rates and +10% improvement in utilization through appropriate delegation. - Increased business development activities and enhanced succession planning
“We were quickly able to identify over $1M in cost savings, realized over time by working the program. And, I have had more difficult conversations in the last year than I have had in my entire career.”
Heidi LaMarca, CEO & Managing Partner
