Kerean Povich
Assistant Vice President of Enterprise Business Systems & Strategy
“At the time of my hire, I would describe my team’s dynamics as multi-dimensional dysfunction.
While I felt fortunate to have hard-working individuals who wanted to make measurable contributions, they lacked clear goals and a common purpose. They were operating in perpetual survival mode, which caused unprofessional behavior and a breakdown of respect and trust. As the leader, I faced a multi-faceted challenge that came down to revamping the team. I recognized that the team needed to define its own guiding principles and that I needed to set clear goals and expectations and hold everyone accountable.
Working with Sara was very comfortable - she earned our trust immediately. She has this understated ability to effectively guide from within as opposed to coaching from the outside looking in. She expertly walks a tightrope of facilitating towards clear progress while being your biggest cheerleader.
