Anil, a high-potential executive, was recognized by a senior HR Manager for his leadership potential. However, he sought to enhance his gravitas, executive presence, and communication style to make a stronger impact. His key goals were to:

  • Engage his direct reports more effectively
  • Be a valued contributor in discussions with General Manager peers
