Senior Executive Case Study

 

At A Glance

A senior executive found herself entrenched in a perpetual state of stress and dissatisfaction. Despite extensive experience and competence in her role of a successful legal services business, she often felt overwhelmed by the demands of her role and experienced challenges finding time for her own needs outside of work.

The best way to describe her challenges is in her own words - she shared that it was as if she were on a perpetual "hamster wheel," with constant pressure to make significant decisions and drive substantial progress. This relentless cycle left her feeling stuck, unable to break free from ingrained behaviors that no longer served her or the organization. Her day-to-day experience was a struggle for control and a pervasive sense of self-doubt.

Her leadership was driven by long-standing habits and professional norms that did not align with her desire for a more fulfilling and impactful career. The pressure and the lack of effective tools to cope with these challenges led to significant strain.
