Case Study:
Positive Change: Leader as Coach

Who: Ericsson, NOBU division; the Scandinavian division of a global telecommunication company.

Challenge: The client was looking for improved communication between its managers and increased productivity across its Scandinavian offices. Ericsson has developed a “virtual organization”, characterized by employees working in offices in up to 5-6 different countries. Approximately 3 - 5 times a year, managers are able to meet with them.

How: the Positive Change: Leader as Coach program was translated and delivered in the local languages (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian) to managers and line managers. The modules were designed in partnership with the client and rolled out in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and the Baltic.

Results: Participants were thrilled with the practicality of the program, its tools and the high caliber of teaching materials. Despite the fact that materials and facilitators was done in three different languages, the program was extremely successful.
Management teams were able to coach middle managers from within the company. This further extended a coaching “mindset”. By February 2007, Adler’s Positive Change program had become a mandatory part of the Ericsson Leadership Development Program for all new managers and key personnel.

Adler designed a 6 Month Post Impact Study to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. Results on the effectiveness of the Ericsson program included:
65.4% reported GREATLY INCREASED in their ability to effectively support others in enhancing their performance and developing their skills/capabilities.
