Late 2001 a group of experienced professionals from varied backgrounds
came together as a “leadership team”.
With each of the 5 individuals possessing a multitude of strengths that
appeared to be exactly what the organization needed, we found in a very
short period of time that we did not have a clear vision and we lacked
the communication skills to manage the conflict that developed. The organization
began to flounder when those who were leading were at odds.
We were fortunate when a colleague recommended that we engage in professional
coaching with Rich Maxwell of Maxwell & Associates. Although a challenging
journey, the end result included significant improvement in communication,
a vision for the organization and the ability to establish and manage
healthy conflict. We “graduated” approximately 4 years ago
and have sustained the gains from our active involvement with Rich. Rich’s
legacy lives on in our organization and is reflected in the following
comment: “If it wasn’t for Rich, we might not be here today.”
