General Manager at a global logistics company, responsible for managing profit and loss statement (PNL), sales and account management for a multi-billion dollar transportation and logistics company.

Challenge:

The workplace culture surrounding Elliot had become difficult, negative and demoralizing.  As a business leader, Elliot was in the risky position of having to turn it all around -- a daunting task.

Advice & Coaching:

First, Elliot received coaching on how to put his professional challenges in the proper perspective.  This began with a personal inventory of everything in his life which really helped to establish a good gauge for his personal and professional support structure.  Secondly, Mike helped Elliott better understand his innate strengths & weaknesses as a person and leader. With clarity on his support structure and strengths to leverage, Elliot mapped out new communication & team building strategies to make a culture shift.  Further, Mike’s own experiences gave Elliot tangible examples of specific action steps he could take in difficult situations.

Outcome:

A year later, the culture of the team that Elliot leads has done a full 180 degree turnaround!  His professional relationships and emotional intelligence are stronger, and the ‘three-legged stool’ (personal, professional and community) is much more consistently balanced.  Finally, the valuable tools & strategies Elliot has learned from Mike will pay dividends as he endeavors to pass the learnings on to the next generation of leaders.
