Cases
Lilya was if not demotivated, but not motivated for sure. While she was successful in her local leadership role, everything was known for her. She felt trapped and underutilized. She was aspiring for more. She wanted to become a CEO of the global company, making critical business decisions, with positive impact on the world and on her team.
Besides all the support from her family and her husband, she was looking for a partner to accompany her along this transformational journey.
While contracting, we sat in that light meeting room, eating dried figs (which she brought to the meeting) and enjoying green tea with jasmine. It was 3 months engagement with ad-hoc connections in an interim. 7 years later, she is a CEO in Asia, being the only female leader on the leadership team (for now), growing business ahead of the competition, and having transformed an engagement on the team. She has lived in 3 countries since we’ve worked and they’ve got an addition in the family, i.e. a son.
Alexey was a co-founder and a CTO of a successful startup. He was very passionate about an idea the company was developing, he was very smart and ambitious person. The company has been growing in number of employees and customers across different geographies, constantly improving the product. More and more often Alexey started feeling that his management and leadership skills, which were acquired on the go, were not enough. There was neither experience nor role models who could help him step up. So, he was looking for a partner who could go with him along the journey of becoming a true leader to the team and to the industry on top of being a passionate entrepreneur.
As a result of our work together during 12 months, based on the stakeholders’ feedback, he stepped up in his leadership capabilities, i.e., inspiring, thinking strategically, delegating, developing and coaching the team and next generation of leaders. His team is rated among the strongest on the market, turnover has decreased twice, and there were a number of cases of leaders being grown and promoted from within. To conclude, the business steadily demonstrates YoY growth of 2x.
