From Silos to Influence: How One Leader Found His Voice in a Matrixed World
“I’m a better leader, a better husband, and a better father because of what I’ve learned.”
At The Leadership Development Group (TLD Group), our coaching engagements often begin with a clear objective—enhancing a leader’s presence, communication, or strategic influence. In a recent engagement, TLD Group senior coach, Jenifer Hill, collaborated with a senior executive at a global foodservice distribution organization.
Operating within a complex matrix structure, the leader was charged with driving results across fragmented, under-resourced business segments while aligning with multiple stakeholders across the enterprise. The organization’s work—delivering essential food and nutrition services to hospitals and care settings—adds another layer of urgency and coordination, making the ability to lead through influence, not just authority, a critical skill.
This engagement centered on helping the leader break through internal silos, build cross-functional alignment, and step into a more strategic, empowered leadership voice.

Helping Leaders Navigate Conflict to Build Stronger Collaboration
What happens when a leader’s growth vision is overshadowed by their strained organizational relationships? This was the core challenge facing Dr. Lilian Abrams, TLD Group Faculty Member, when she began coaching a physician leader in a rapidly expanding southeastern US healthcare system. This leader's strategic vision was clear, but the challenging interpersonal dynamics he had with his direct manager threatened not only implementation of his vision, but his own tenure as a leader. In this edition of our Faculty Highlight Series, we explore how Lilian guided this leader from conflict to collaboration, transforming both his professional impact and his team’s growth trajectory.
