Case Study: Carlyle strengthens fearless leadership and team collaboration with Gallup

Carlyle builds fearless leadership with Gallup’s strengths sessions for 318 billion in AUM

Carlyle, a global investment firm, partnered with Gallup to foster fearless leadership within its organization, specifically for Ruulke Bagijn and her team at AlpInvest. The challenge was to enhance team collaboration, strategic alignment, and decision-making quality among executives by moving beyond traditional leadership development approaches.

Gallup's solution involved conducting in-depth CliftonStrengths sessions for the executive team in New York and Amsterdam. These sessions helped the team understand their individual and collective talents, which led to the development of guiding principles that improved collaboration. As a result, the team achieved greater alignment on strategy and decisions. Gallup's work was then expanded to include all managing directors and principals at AlpInvest as part of a broader leadership development program.
