Case Study: Duncan Cotterill strengthens leadership development with Sheffield

Duncan Cotterill develops 40 partners with Sheffield's 360 Leadership Mirror

The law firm Duncan Cotterill, facing industry disruption and seeking to nurture performance beyond traditional metrics, engaged the vendor Sheffield. Their challenge was to develop leadership skills among their 40 partners and gain a better understanding of the firm's culture. Sheffield was brought in to facilitate this initiative, which was a first for the partner group.

Sheffield implemented DDI’s 360 Tool - Leadership Mirror with all partners, conducting individual feedback sessions and creating group and firm-wide reports. This provided a platform for ongoing, open conversations about leadership development. As a result, Duncan Cotterill gained valuable insights into their strengths and areas for improvement, with partners now using the personal reports to guide their professional development. This process helped the firm recognize the continuous need to assess and develop leadership from the top.
