Supporting a newly appointed leader to fast-track connection and clarity across their team

3 minute read

Summary   

Goal: Fast-track clarity, trust, and high-performance culture for a newly reorganised global team 

Approach: Designed and delivered a three-phase offsite experience to create purposeful connection and clarity 

Results: Strengthened cohesion, clarified roles, and deepened trust in leadership, laying the groundwork for ongoing collaboration

We worked with the Market Access team at one of the world’s leading rare disease companies. Following a substantial reorganisation, the newly appointed leader wanted to fast-track connection and clarity across their team.  

Our work was anchored in a thoughtfully designed offsite. To make face-to-face meetings as impactful as possible, Five&Co. always build in a discovery phrase before an event, with an embedding phase afterwards to build on the momentum created and embed change. 

Goals   

  • Build a culture of high performance 
  • Create a team with strong values and principles 
  • Get clarity on roles and responsibilities post reorganisation 
  • Improve communication within the team 
  • Deepen levels of trust 

Approach

  • Individual calls with every member of the leadership team to surface hopes, concerns, and focus areas for a discovery report 
  • Expert facilitation for a full-day, in-person session for the whole organisation, including workshops, group discussions, and a new leader ‘fireside chat’. The event was designed to clarify purpose, explore team dynamics, and create space for courageous conversations, with FiveAndCo. providing real-time observation, curated feedback and after the event, a Team Insights Report to consolidate learning 
  • Commitments made by the team were embedded through team and 1:1 session providing space to reflect, recalibrate team actions and identify the next critical conversations 

Results 

The client reported: 

  • Accelerated team cohesion and renewed sense of shared purpose 
  • Clearer understanding of roles and responsibilities, enabling better decision-making and delivery 
  • Strengthened trust in the new leader through openness and relational consistency 

This was just the beginning, we’ve continued to work with this team having built a strong foundation through this offsite.

“We came in as individuals with job titles. We left feeling like a team with a mission. The offsite gave us clarity, cohesion, and the confidence to start strong — with shared language, trust, and an understanding of how to support each other in the work ahead.“
