Client Feedback
“We at Thomas Cook embarked on our journey to set in place a leadership framework, for which we partnered with BasilTree Consulting. We wanted our own success behaviours to become the basis for all our processes, including leadership development. The team at BasilTree went about the entire exercise systematically and guided us with expertise. Clearly, they are experts in this domain, but also help deliver organisation-wide leadership interventions with sensitivity.”
