THE SITUATION
When two senior leaders clashed publicly during a press conference for a major AI product launch, it created a rupture that shook trust company-wide. Their tension stalled not only their two teams, but multiple teams. Trust was broken.
OUR APPROACH
Our Powerful Under Pressure delivered targeted 1:1 coaching to both leaders to address the deeper dynamics at play. A Shift from Conflict to Collaboration workshop followed, rebuilding relational trust and team cohesion.
THE RESULTS
- The two leaders emerged with a more collaborative leadership approach.
- Although the public launch was shelved, the core technology was acquired by a larger firm that successfully brought it to market.
