Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to create and roll-out a leadership framework across my organisation, aimed at supporting career development of our emerging leaders, accelerate their capabilities, and ensure a scalable approach to leadership that aligns with the company's unique values and goals.
How Redgate have adapted their approach to reteaming - the process they use to shape their teams in response to Redgate’s strategic aims for the coming year - to be more dynamic and efficient, and retained the good stuff.

Crucial Conversations happen where the stakes are high, opinions vary and emotions run strong.

This post explains in detail exactly how Redgate ran it's first formal team self-selection process, from initial planning to completion.
