Context
Our client is a high-ranking manager in a leading luxury company in France, preparing to transition into a strategic role in company governance. The client found herself entangled in the complexities of corporate politics and needed expert guidance to navigate this landscape.
The Situation: corporate politics are a nightmare.
Over a 45-minute consultation, she shared her experiences from the past six months:
Team dynamics: composition and behavior of the leadership team.
Interpersonal relationships: Her interactions with key stakeholders.
Internal communications: Conversations, gossips, and office talks that left her feeling confused and lost.
The Challenge
She felt lonely: she couldn’t confide in anyone about her struggles. Corporate politics are a difficult art to master, and she needed a trustworthy, confidential sounding board. She was unsure about the intentions of others and the strategic steps she should take next.
Our Approach
During the call, I helped her:
Connect the dots: I pieced together the fragmented information she had.
Interpret behaviors: I decoded the actions and intentions of the “politicians” in her company, helping her understand their endgame.
Strategize: I suggested both mid-term and long-term strategies.
Implement tactics: I provided actionable tactics derived from the world of intelligence and manipulation, along with concrete tips and recommendations.
The Outcome
After our session, she sent me a beautiful message saying that it opened her eyes and radically changed her mindset. She felt appeased, stronger, and more in tune with her surroundings. She gained clarity on her next strategic steps.
She walked away with a clear strategic roadmap and actionable insights to navigate her complex political environment.
