Lonely at the Top, No Longer Challenged or Getting Honest Feedback

Situation

A Vice President for Operations for Systems Organization wanted more out of his career. He needed to be reenergized and remotivated.

Our Approach

One on one executive coaching on a weekly basis.

The Result

As a result of coaching this individual was able to challenge his assumptions about the abilities and motivations of others. He was then able to modify his communication style and significantly increasing his ability to develop and motivate his teams. Of particular significance was his performance as the figurehead for a $112m information technology project where his new approach resulted in him becoming the trusted source for information for the wider stakeholder community.

Three Leaders with Different Views

Situation

This organization was led by three very different individuals who were very proud of the fact that they had learned to accept and live with their differences. The difficulty was there no one was making any real decisions and the employees were left confused and unfocused.

Our Approach

Appropriately designed individual and team coaching sessions.

The Result

Leadership team developed and implemented a much clearer management philosophy with the support of their staff.
