The Team - Ms. B
Ms. B is vice president in a high-tech company and heads a regional division. The industry is going to a tough time, resulting in job cuts in Ms. B's company. Her management team is very focused on the downturn, and Ms. B is having trouble motivating them as well as herself. She feels she has no one to turn to for guidance. She lacks focus and isn't managing her time effectively.

Ms. B sought help through RIGHThought, and after the initial meeting she agreed to start "Coaching for Performance." The focus was how she motivated her management team. The coaching relationship developed to a point where Ms. B could use the bi-weekly session as a sounding board for ideas and opinions.

As a result Ms. B:

• Has a better understanding of her ability to influence her management team and has improved team motivation
• Identified key aspects of the job that rekindled her own motivation.
• Created a new management vision for her division linked to their strengths

Ms. B is on the final leg of the initial coaching contract but is considering continuing on a ad-hoc basis because she needs a sparring partner in everyday work.
