STUDIOS
Growing the next generation of leaders
GROWING LEADERS - 30% of Principals in a tailored leadership development program
ENGAGING EMPLOYEES - 85% of team members engaged in Purpose, Vision and Values
LEADERSHIP CAPABILITIES - Increase in leadership trust and effectiveness
The Challenge
Approaching their 40th anniversary, STUDIOS approached Within to create a shared vision, enhance leadership trust, and foster greater collaboration across their nationwide architecture firm. With a dispersed leadership structure common in similar businesses, the STUDIOS executive committee saw the opportunity for more unity across the firm with the ability to unleash the entrepreneurial spirit critical to their success in a new generation of leaders.
The Within Way®: Building culture through leadership
We worked with STUDIOS Principals to design a firm-wide Culture Plan that would galvanize the team around a bold vision for growth. This foundation expanded into a growth strategy, Board advisory, executive coaching, and the design and delivery of a year-long leadership program for new Principals. Every engagement was crafted to build a more connected, aligned, and confident leadership team — ready to lead the next chapter.
The Impact
Principals have reported a measurable increase in trust, a greater sense of shared direction, and a shift in their entrepreneurial culture. Collaboration between offices has improved, communication has deepened, and the leadership team is showing up differently, with more openness, clarity, and cohesion.
