Delivering an Executive Team Development Program
The Brief
Future Leadership was engaged by a privately owned property group in Victoria to deliver a leadership capability assessment aimed at enhancing strategic leadership, accountability, and coaching capability across its senior team.
The organisation had recently undergone structural changes and was seeking to uplift leadership maturity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and embed a stronger performance culture. The assessment was designed to provide individual and group-level insights to inform development planning and future leadership investment.
Improvement in Performance
Studies show that executives who receive coaching report a 70% improvement in work performance, according to the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
Increase in Employee Retention Rates
Companies that offer coaching and transition programs during restructuring or layoffs see a 60% increase in employee retention rates, as reported by the Human Capital Institute (HCI).
Faster Reemployment
Outplacement services and career transition coaching can reduce the time it takes for displaced employees to find new jobs by 50%, according to a study by RiseSmart.
Higher Return on Investment (ROI)
The ICF reports that companies receive an average return of A$11.85 for every dollar invested in executive coaching.
The Process
Future Leadership™ designed a tailored capability assessment program based on diagnostic insights and organisational priorities.
Key steps included:
Discovery & Diagnostics: Conducted stakeholder interviews and contextual analysis to understand leadership challenges and strategic goals.
Program Co-Design: Developed a customised Hogan 360° assessment framework aligned to the organisation’s leadership model.
Delivery: Seven senior leaders participated in the Hogan 360° process, with 113 raters contributing feedback across self, manager, peer, report and other categories.
Evaluation: Group and individual reports were analysed to identify strengths, development areas and thematic insights. One-on-one debriefs and development planning sessions were conducted with each participant.

The Outcome
The program delivered a structured and psychologically safe process for leaders to reflect on their leadership impact and receive targeted feedback from multiple perspectives.
Participants reported high levels of engagement with the process, valuing the opportunity to explore their leadership style, strengths and development areas in a confidential and constructive environment. The one-on-one debriefs enabled deeper reflection and supported the creation of tailored development plans aligned to organisational priorities.
The group-level insights informed broader leadership development planning, including the design of coaching circles, masterclasses and applied learning projects. The program also helped embed a shared language around leadership expectations and performance, contributing to a stronger leadership culture across the organisation.
Participating in the Hogan 360 process helped me reflect on how I lead and how I’m perceived across the business. The feedback was honest and constructive, and the debrief gave me clarity on where I can add more value. It’s not just about doing the work—it’s about influencing, coaching and leading with purpose.
