Jabil Builds Growth Leaders
Linking Leadership Assessment to Strategy
Jabil has grown significantly. However, as their industry and strategy changed, they needed new leadership capabilities to take the company forward. We partnered with them to identify the growth leader capabilities they need to be future-ready.
“Our strategy changed, and we need to make sure we have the right leaders to execute the strategy and work in a more complex environment. Because of this, we have to re-examine tools we use to identify and develop talent.“
Talent Leader
Approach
Jabil faced strategic challenges, including a more diverse portfolio of offerings, expansion into more complex geographies, and a need for greater innovation. To address these challenges, they wanted to identify and develop new leader capabilities.
Starting with our Growth Leader Framework, we:
Identified Capabilities for the Future
We worked with Jabil leaders to identify capabilities needed for their new strategy. This resulted in a new, action-oriented leadership model.
Created an Innovative 360
Based on our 100% Definition model, we built a 360 that translated the leadership model into observable outcomes. This resulted in a 360 with differentiated ratings and better development comments.
Created a Bespoke Growth Leader Assessment
We created a bespoke Growth Leader Assessment to ensure that their external and internal executive hires were benchmarked against other executives and received great developmental feedback aligned to their strategy."
“This assessment gave great insights. I was aware of some of the strengths and challenges [my high-potential leader] faced, but we gained new insights as well that will help the person develop in the future.”
