Challenges

With rapid growth and an evolving business landscape, CEA faced the challenge of equipping its managers with the right skills to thrive in new roles and increasing responsibilities. They needed a solution that would help managers transition smoothly, lead effectively, and sustain high levels of team engagement.

The challenges included

Supporting managers in adapting to new roles and handling greater responsibilities in a complex work environment.

Providing structured guidance to help leaders navigate change, make strategic decisions, and drive team performance.

Addressing engagement and retention concerns, ensuring teams remained motivated and aligned with organizational goals.

Without a structured leadership development program, the company risked reduced operational efficiency, lower engagement, and increased turnover—making targeted coaching a crucial solution.

Solution

Situational Coaching – On-the-Spot Leadership
(3 sessions)

For managers facing immediate leadership challenges, we introduced a Situational Coaching program consisting of three focused coaching sessions. These sessions provided on-the-spot guidance tailored to the manager’s specific challenges, such as handling difficult conversations, managing change, and making critical decisions under pressure. This approach ensured that managers had the tools they needed to address real-time obstacles and lead with confidence.

Development Coaching – 360 (6 sessions)

To create a long-term leadership development, we implemented a Development Coaching program featuring six coaching sessions, initiated through a 360-degree feedback assessment. This process allowed managers to gain a comprehensive understanding of their strengths and development areas, helping them refine their leadership approach and implement meaningful changes.

The coaching journey was designed to help managers:

Develop a leadership mindset to step into their roles with confidence.
Improve decision-making skills to navigate complex challenges effectively.
Enhance adaptability to lead in a fast-paced, high-growth fintech environment.
