Crisis Recovery - Disruptive Leadership Turnover

Challenge

Following disruptive leadership turnover, a mid-sized manufacturer faced declining employee morale, operational uncertainty, and cultural instability that threatened business continuity and team cohesion during a critical transition period.

Solution

AGC implemented a comprehensive stakeholder assessment, leveraging our organizational independence to ensure anonymous feedback collection that captured honest perspectives from employees and remaining leadership about impact areas and recovery priorities.

Results

The assessment identified root causes of organizational disruption and enabled the development of targeted intervention strategies that addressed operational gaps, restored communication channels, and rebuilt institutional trust. Critically, the process revealed existing organizational strengths and leadership capabilities, providing new executives with a strategic roadmap for leveraging team assets and driving sustainable organizational recovery.

“We knew that employees would be reluctant to share their honest input with us directly, so we brought in AGC. They listened to our team members about the problems that had been created and collected input on the best solutions to those issues. After a thorough but quick assessment, the AGC team provided us with a series of process and culture improvement recommendations they we could implement immediately. They took a difficult situation and turned it into an opportunity to advance the company in unexpected ways.” – Interim President
