CASE STUDIES
START UP LEADERSHIP
Healthcare organizations provide services fueled by empathy, grounded in trust, backed by evidence, and supported by modern technology. But how does a company do that in a startup environment when the only constant is change? Third Truth worked with a pediatric start up to build a leadership framework to help its executives, physicians, technologists, and marketing team articulate a shared understanding of their goals and values. Participants, including the senior leadership team and CEO, came together in creative ways to establish a common leadership language and behavioral expectations. From that initial engagement, Third Truth has helped the startup create and sustain a leadership development program, a tailored leader assessment, and an honest feedback practice focused on self-awareness.
AM I GOOD ENOUGH?
Many successful female employees, especially those at early- and mid-career stages, share a mistaken perception that they know less or have less to contribute than their males colleagues. Third Truth worked with the women's affinity group at JM Family Enterprises to give this common experience a name - impostor syndrome - and to craft a dynamic interactive workshop to explore its symptoms, realities, and solutions. We turned the problem on its head by introducing the role of gender bias and by noting that it is only successful women who can experience impostor syndrome. The workshop include a panel of brave JM leaders who shared their own experiences, validating, and inspiring the 120 workshop attendees.
THE POWER OF A REFRAME
The struggle is real when you've been promoted regularly but now seem to have hit the proverbial ceiling. Is it you? Is it your manager? Is it the company. What is it? Third Truth recently helped a high-achieving but stalled mid-career employee in the tech industry explore how to keep his career moving. Professional coaching gave him the skills to productively examine his situation from multiple dimensions, engage in difficult conversations with colleagues and managers, and keep himself accountable for his own goals and growth.
