I remember the moment so vividly. It was the morning of the third day of our annual leadership conference, and we were about to receive the feedback from the ccm cultural survey that the top 200 leaders had completed the previous afternoon. It had taken us 20 minutes or so to fill in and had triggered some interesting discussions that continued over dinner and late into the night. The catalyst started by revealing how the ccm wheel worked, and then went on to share our allied map. It was not too bad. But then he showed us our distorted map. Wow, you could have heard a pin drop as we saw, and more importantly recognised, how we were undermining our creative potential as an organisation, at every turn. It was nothing short of revelatory as we could now see how to break free and what it would take to build a culture of innovation.
ccm helped me to start trusting life again. It enabled me to see the invisible patterns that were holding me back and it gave me a way of breaking these self-limiting patterns. As I learned to take greater responsibility for the way I walked through life, I was amazed at how I developed deeper and more creative relationships with my family, friends and colleagues.
For most of my career I have believed in the power of the people and how I could help those who worked for me be all that they can be. I have for a long time been a great fan of different psychometrics and the way they create opportunities for me to receive as well as give important feedback. However, with ccm, which does all of this and more, I gained a really important insight. I learned that behind every behaviour, or personality type, is a hidden energetic pattern. By working with these energy states I have learned how to effect deep change and growth in myself and my leadership which has massively resourced me in how I now go about helping others lead change.
As a member of a very successful executive team of a global organisation, we have been good at integrating new acquisitions, driving performance and delivering operational excellence. Yet, we have continually struggled to inspire innovation through our organisation, whether that is in our R&D pipeline, or in our go to market strategies, or in our supply chain. We are doing well but we are not shaping or making the future. Over the years we have been on many off-sites to look at our team dynamics. When we used ccm something unlocked in our team that I have never seen or experienced before. We saw that we were trapped in a way of working that was holding the whole organisation back. Over time were able to break our pattern and build a powerful creative team, enabling us to lead transformation across our whole organisation."
