Team and Leadership: Partnership Results

Talent development is one of the few remaining areas in which companies can create a competitive advantage. The most important investments companies make to keep them ahead in intensely competitive economies are in the training and education of their people. Dramatic results in productivity, retention, and the bottom line are proven for companies that develop their teams and leaders:

• A Regional Director was awarded the HealthCare Business women’s Association Rising Star Award for implementing a Peer Coaching and Mentoring program being coached by A.J. O’Connor.
   
• “The greatest single benefit to our company from this team activity is a higher performing team with a great morale,” shares a Consumer Electronics Executive. “I think this investment paid (and will continue to pay) benefits to the organization; I am more in tune with my role as a leader and what I can do to influence necessary change. The feelings that ‘the problems are bigger than us’ have subsided and we can now focus on the steps we need to take in order to move in the right direction.”
   
• Designed to retain high caliber leaders, a major Pharmaceutical company’s leadership development program includes AJO Executive Coaches. Recently, coaches quickly realigned to support 9 Directors through several rounds of challenging reorganizations and helped them to get traction more quickly in the new structure.
