How We Help Organisations Shift Culture and Leadership Behaviour
Most organisations know their culture needs to change to deliver better results, particularly after a change in ownership or strategy.
What they often struggle with is clearly identifying which behaviours are helping, which behaviours are getting in the way, and how to shift behaviour at scale without creating fear, resistance, or disengagement.
This is where our work begins.
We Make Culture Change Observable and Measurable
Culture is not values on a wall. It is behaviour under pressure.
We use a rigorous, research-backed assessment process to:
- Map the behaviours currently driving results.
- Surface the behaviours undermining performance, innovation, and engagement.
- Distinguish between intent and impact—what leaders believe they are doing versus how it actually lands.
This creates a shared, non-personalised language to talk honestly about culture without blame.
We Focus on Behaviour Change, Not Theory
We then provide tools for embedding those behaviours into everyday leadership rituals. They are designed to interrupt reactive, stress-driven patterns that show up under pressure.
This is a practical, behaviour-first approach, not a training program or a values exercise.
We Align Leadership Behaviour with Outcomes that Matter
Everything we do is anchored to the Triple Goal:
- Great Performance
- Great Learning
- Great Workplace
We explicitly link leadership behaviour to execution and results, innovation and adaptability, and engagement, trust, and retention.
Leaders can see clearly how their behaviour enables—or blocks—the outcomes they care most about.
We Build Accountability that Is Human and Effective
We help organisations move beyond aggressive accountability and people-pleasing into genuine, constructive accountability.
This means clear expectations, honest conversations, consistent follow-through, and learning rather than blame.
The result is high standards without burnout, and cultures where people feel safe to speak up and take responsibility.
The Bottom Line:
We don’t impose a new culture. We help organisations:
Name what’s hurting or helping.
Systematically shift leadership behaviour.
Build a culture that delivers sustained performance, innovation, and engagement—especially in times of change.

What Vertical Growth Changes
Vertical Growth changes how executive teams operate when it matters most.
Leaders develop the capacity to recognise and regulate unhelpful patterns under pressure, replacing reflexive behaviour with conscious, values-aligned leadership.
Unspoken assumptions are surfaced, defensive habits are reduced, and trust increases through consistent accountability and openness.
As leadership behaviour shifts, organisational rituals, rewards and systems are realigned to reinforce learning, collaboration, and performance.
The result is not just a different culture in theory, but a measurable shift in how decisions are made, how conflict is handled, and how results are achieved—sustainably and at scale.
The Triple Goal as the Cultural Measure
At Triple Goal, culture change is evaluated through a clear and practical lens of the Triple Goal:
- Great Performance: Clear direction, disciplined execution, and sustainable results.
- Great Learning: Psychological safety, continuous improvement and innovation.
- Great Workplace: High engagement, inclusion, trust, and wellbeing—especially under pressure.
Every leadership behaviour and organisational shift is tested against its impact on these three outcomes.
This framework ensures culture change is not abstract or aspirational, but grounded in the metrics that matter most to the business.
How Vertical Growth Is Delivered
Vertical Growth is typically delivered over a nine to eighteen month period, allowing sufficient time for meaningful behaviour change to take hold and be embedded.
The program combines rigorous assessment, facilitated executive team sessions, individual reflection, and disciplined practice between sessions.
This work is led exclusively by Michael Bunting and Triple Goal’s most senior global partners, ensuring depth, consistency, and credibility at the executive level.
The structure is designed to integrate with real business demands, so leadership growth and culture change occur alongside, not separate from, commercial reality.

Who This Work Is For
Vertical Growth is designed for executive leadership teams who understand that culture change is not a quick fix, a morale initiative, or a training rollout.
This work is for organisations facing real complexity, pressure, and consequence—and who are prepared to look honestly at how leadership behaviour shapes results.
It requires commitment, maturity, and the willingness to do sustained work at the top of the organisation.
It is not suitable for organisations seeking superficial change or short-term engagement lifts.
