Succession Planning and Executive Leader Development at Market & Johnson
"By analyzing and being cognizant of our own strengths and weaknesses we were able to draw our team closer together."
A general contractor serving West-central Wisconsin and Eastern Minnesota with over 350 employees. Market & Johnson is positioned as a leader in the construction industry, bringing experienced leadership and operational excellence to every project.
The company was going through significant succession planning and working on both successfully onboarding new partners and unifying the executive team. As the organization navigated this transition, leadership needed to build cohesion and prepare the team for the challenges ahead while bringing new voices into the leadership structure.
Burns Leadership Consulting implemented high-level executive coaching to support the leadership team through the transition. The engagement included individual one-on-one coaching with team members to develop their leadership capabilities, combined with group coaching sessions to strengthen team dynamics and cohesion. By analyzing and becoming cognizant of their own strengths and weaknesses, the team was able to draw closer together and align around shared leadership practices.
The executive team became noticeably closer and more aligned. Individual team members showed measurable shifts in their approaches to leadership and decision-making. The coaching provided the team with practical tools and frameworks to navigate succession planning with greater confidence and clarity.
"A closer team. I really feel the executive coaching helped prepare our team for the challenges of succession planning. I thought the executive coaching led to noticeable changes in some of our team members' approaches."
