new responsibilities
A newly appointed Director wanted support for how she would manage her place in her team and the style in which she would lead it. The executive wanted to establish a future role as a leader of a large organisation.
Her team’s challenges were varied... expansion was a key objective and growing pains would be an immediate issue for managers grappling with the need to work differently.
Lyn Bicker’s (above) coaching programme focussed on establishling the optimum style for managing a growing department directorate; work-life balance; support for building a five-year strategy; and evolving as a role model for the senior management teams.
