Dear Phil,
Having
received so many good reports about
your work, I was delighted when
you agreed to take on some of our
personal and professional issues
in the field of leadership development
at Yahoo!.
We
have a very young workforce, with
managers who have not received training,
development, honest feedback or
coaching. One particular area of
your work has been little short
of miraculous.
Your
coaching style is honest, open,
powerful and most rewarding for
the individuals on the receiving
end.
On
a personal level, I want to thank
you for helping me to confront one
or two issues that have troubled
me; I will not forget those lessons!
Your
work here has had a very positive
impact on team dynamics. You have
demonstrated a rare ability to work
with any nationality or culture,
and I know our business has improved
in areas where you have had an input.
Kind regards,
Martina King,
Managing Director, Country Operations
Yahoo! Europe
