Coaching High Fives

Learning Leader Background: Pete is a successful, high potential leader in his organization, a multinational pharmaceutical organization. He served in the Marines and possesses the many characteristics you would expect from someone with an accomplished military career on his resume: he’s goal oriented, no nonsense and hard to get to know.

Interestingly, his team saw Pete very differently than Pete’s peers and bosses. His direct reports experienced a kinder, gentler Pete. To advance further in his career, he needed to address the perception that he was inflexible and lacking emotional intelligence.
