Case Studies

Client Profile

FIA’s mission is to support open, transparent and competitive markets, protect and enhance the integrity of the financial system, and promote high standards of professional conduct. With a strong technical and compliance-driven focus, FIA’s leadership also recognised the importance of investing in people management and leadership capability at all levels of the organisation.

Challenge

FIA identified a need to provide targeted leadership development support for two Senior Managers who were transitioning into more strategic leadership roles. While both were technically excellent and highly committed, they were facing challenges in managing and developing their teams effectively. Specific areas for development included leading with authenticity, handling difficult conversations, and fostering collaborative, values-driven teams. As senior leaders, they needed practical tools to enhance their personal impact and leadership confidence, particularly in virtual and hybrid work settings.

Solution

Rostrup designed and delivered a bespoke 2-day online leadership training programme, tailored to the needs of the two participants. The programme was highly interactive and focused on five core themes:

• Authenticity in Leadership
• Coaching Skills
• Values-Based Leadership
• Handling Tough Conversations
• Building Effective Teams

Sessions were delivered via video conferencing, using real-life scenarios, role play, and reflective exercises to ensure high engagement and relevance.

Outcome

Both leaders reported a significant increase in self-awareness, confidence, and practical leadership skills. They felt better equipped to lead with clarity and compassion, address performance issues constructively, and build stronger, more values-aligned teams.
