Case Studies

Executive Coaching
Situation:

Our client, a leader in the communications and content space, engaged the firm to assist a key senior leader with a mid-career transition. While historically a star performer, this leader’s performance had declined in the new role. The organization needed this individual to deliver strong results with their new team for the division to be successful.

Process:

We met with the VP HR and the leader’s manager to understand the needs of the organization along with the individual’s performance strengths and areas of development. We then assessed the leader with the Hogan and a 360º assessment with Emotional Quotient. From these assessments, focusing on evident strengths, we charted a course to improve individual and team performance. The interventions included biweekly coaching, reviewing business strategy and discussing ways to gain collaboration from peers with clear alignment within the team.

Results:

Our efforts resulted in the leader rapidly improving individual performance and advancing team performance beyond executive leadership’s expectations. The leader was better able to collaborate with peers, lead a diverse team more effectively and communicate desired results in a manner that enabled the team to take action. The leader and their team successfully delivered needed results for the division, solidifying a high-performance position within the organization.

New Leader Transition Coach
Situation:

A senior HR leader was promoted from within the company.

Process:
  • We worked with our client’s HR and Operational leadership teams to identify focus areas and ensure successful onboarding. We performed a Hogan assessment to understand day-to-day operations and stress behaviors and uncover strengths to emphasize in business performance plans.
  • We facilitated weekly face-to-face coaching meetings to identify improvement areas and foster practical, real-time strategies.
  • We provided review and input to create an HR strategy and organizational design to ensure a seamless department deployment.
Results:

The HR leader enjoyed a successful transition, as measured by the rapid adoption of a new HR structure that increased both the resolution of employee relations issues and the speed at which the organization adopted change.

Leadership Development / Sales Team Coaching
Situation:

B+B helped a partner develop and execute a two-day sales leadership summit and coached five sales leaders for two months following the event.

Process:
  • We worked with our partner’s VP of Sales to determine focus areas and ensure that company leaders understood how to manage through others and coach their teams for increased sales execution against changing business environments.
  • We conducted weekly meetings with sales leaders to discuss new strategies for overcoming business and sales performance challenges.
Results:

Our efforts inspired our partner’s top sales month of the year and garnered recognition from partner executives for our impactful contributions.
