How Troy Hammond combined leadership with environmental action for team building
Customer StoriesTroy Hammond was looking for ways to bring his team together around shared environmental values whilst creating genuine positive impact. As a leader, he understood that the most powerful team building happens when groups work together towards meaningful goals that extend beyond their immediate business interests.
Traditional team building activities often felt disconnected from real-world impact. Troy needed something that would strengthen team relationships whilst contributing to environmental restoration and demonstrating his company's commitment to sustainability values.
When Troy organised his team's participation in CarbonInvoice's Planting Action Day, he found the perfect combination of team building and environmental leadership that would create lasting benefits both for his team and local ecosystems.
Troy's leadership approach focused on bringing the Talent Army community together for collective environmental action. Rather than just talking about environmental values, he organised his team to take direct action that would create measurable positive impact.
Working together in Wellington sunshine, Troy's team planted 637 native trees whilst building stronger relationships through shared environmental work. This hands-on approach to team building created bonds that desk-based activities could never achieve.
The planting day delivered multiple benefits for Troy's leadership and team development. His team experienced the satisfaction of working together towards a meaningful environmental goal whilst contributing to native ecosystem restoration that will benefit local wildlife for decades.
Troy's leadership in organising environmental action also positioned his team as genuine environmental leaders within their business community. This kind of values-based leadership often strengthens team culture whilst attracting like-minded clients and partners.
The 637 trees his team planted represent permanent environmental contribution that continues growing long after their day of work. This knowledge that their team building created lasting positive impact amplifies the satisfaction and team pride from the experience.
The experience connected Troy's team with other environmentally conscious businesses and individuals who share their commitment to taking real action. These connections often lead to ongoing collaboration and mutual support for environmental initiatives.
As Troy noted: "Awesome day out with Carbon Invoice planting trees. 637 new trees in Wellington with a great crew."
His approach demonstrates how effective leadership can combine team building with environmental action to create benefits that extend far beyond the immediate team.
For leaders wanting to build stronger teams whilst demonstrating genuine environmental commitment, community planting provides the perfect opportunity to achieve both goals simultaneously.
