Rebuilding Leadership Culture at a Cabinet-Level Agency

The Challenge

A Cabinet-level agency with 12,000 employees was experiencing a leadership crisis following a major reorganization. Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey scores had dropped 14 points over two years, voluntary attrition among GS-13 to SES employees was at a five-year high, and the agency's senior leadership team was deeply fragmented.

Our Approach

Boxer Advisors conducted a comprehensive organizational assessment — including 60 structured interviews with senior leaders, analysis of three years of FEVS data, and a 360-degree feedback process for the top 25 executives. We then designed and delivered a 12-month leadership transformation initiative that included individual executive coaching, a senior leadership team development program, and a supervisory skills curriculum deployed to 400 first-line supervisors.

Boxer Advisors didn't just deliver a program — they transformed how our senior team leads. The results speak for themselves.
