This gained an A rating from the development partner.    As Practice  Partner she was responsible for leading the firm’s development of a new commercially focused strategy. This led to a reduction in financial losses by some 5% in the first year.   To support the implementation of the new strategy she coached the Senior Partner.  This helped change employees’ perception of him as a leader, and, increased his leadership competence.

PLE is critical because if we don’t demonstrate self-leadership we cannot hope to lead others effectively
