As result of a transition process, where new members of the SMT have come recently on board, the facilitator will work in coordination with the Country Director and HR team ( in country and regional) to offer guidance and insights on how to functionally build the leadership team to work effectively together as team, across their functional responsibilities.
A similar process will be done for the ESMT, replicating the SMT standards of taking ownership, being proactive, having a shared vision and efficient managerial approach.
