Having led Asia for a global British company for over a decade, a European took a new role in another country and encountered strong resistance to his improvement plans and management style, political challenges, and trouble with unions. The coaching approach blended Gestalt, Transactional Analysis and Values-based Leadership, aided by psychometric and 360 feedback. The coach also resurfaced and worked with the client’s forgotten entrepreneurial dreams. The client strengthened his relationships and successfully engaged his team and the larger organisation in change. Six months after coaching ended, the client fulfilled his entrepreneurialism by leading an acquisition of a Nordic company. Within a year he grew his region to £1.3 Bn, and later was promoted to MD of Europe.
