Guiding Leaders Through Growth, Grit, and Gut Instinct

What happens when brilliance outpaces connection? That was the core question Ted Witherell, TLD Group Faculty Member, set out to explore with one of his recent coaching clients—a high-performing scientist at a Boston-based pharmaceutical organization, whose strategic mind had carried him far but whose interpersonal approach was holding him back. In this edition of our Faculty Highlight Series, we dive into how Ted helped this leader evolve from an individual contributor with vision into a senior executive who could inspire, influence, and elevate others across a rapidly expanding organization.

Navigating Leadership Transitions in Healthcare

Leadership transitions are pivotal moments for any organization, requiring a thoughtful and strategic approach to ensure continuity and success. For OSF HealthCare, founded by The Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis and headquartered in Peoria, Illinois, supporting leadership succession during a period of significant growth was a top priority. With operations spanning 16 hospitals across Illinois and Michigan and more than 24,000 Mission Partners, OSF HealthCare partnered with TLD Group to prepare for these transitions. Paul Erdahl, PhD, LP, a seasoned TLD Group executive coach and succession expert, guided this complex process to help ensure long-term leadership effectiveness.

Building a High-Performing Team in a Global Pharmaceutical Company

Leadership transitions, particularly in highly specialized industries like pharmaceuticals, can present unique challenges. When our client, a global pharmaceutical company, hired a new R&D global regulatory affairs head, they reached out to TLD Group for assimilation and team development support. The new leader chose Janet Polach, a seasoned TLD Group  leadership executive coach, to assist her in assimilating to the organization’s culture and creating a high performing team.   

Navigating Leadership Transitions in Healthcare

In today’s fast-paced healthcare landscape, leadership transitions present both opportunities and risks. With Forbes reporting that 50-70% of newly hired CEOs fail within their first 18 months, the need for strong, strategic leadership is more critical than ever. Kimberly McNally, MN, RN, BCC, Senior Consultant with TLD Group, recently partnered with a CEO of a state hospital association as she navigated the complexities of stepping into the CEO role after a long-serving predecessor.
