A Hypothetical Scenario
Consider this: Charles is a manager who is up for a promotion at work. His company would like to help him learn new skills, and change some of the ways he acts, so he will be more successful when he leads more people. Charles’ team members have observed that he often gets aggressive in group settings when someone challenges his ideas, and that causes discord in people. His company informs Charles of this reputation, and then helps him learn to see those circumstances differently and practice a new way of responding. Charles is able to change his behavior, and becomes a successful leader.
