Coaching CaseIt is Monday morning, 9:30 a.m. and you just completed a brief phone call with the VP HR from Trilligene Pharmaceuticals. You had worked with the VP HR in her prior company as a coach for a few of the top executives. You hear the following scenario from the VP HR: Chris Jenkins, is the EVP of R&D for Trilligene Pharmaceuticals. Chris has been in this role for over three years and was quite a significant hire for Trilligene. The VP HR related that the hiring of Chris Jenkins three years ago had a lot of fanfare and attention from the Board of Directors, analysts, and industry leaders. Chris was recruited from a key
all of Trilligene’s key customers and investment analysts. Customers applaud the fact Chris is with Trilligene. The problem is that Chris is Dr. Jekyll with customers and the Board, and Mr. Hyde with peers and subordinates. On the people side of the business Chris has lost five key scientists over the past 12 months and the VP HR fears more key resignations. The VP HR relates the description of Chris’ leadership is always the same. The culture in R&D continues to deteriorate. Chris is perceived as arrogant, intimidating, closed-minded, challenging, overly controlling, and

leaders. Chris was recruited from a key competitor to help restore credibility with customers and investors after a string of poor product releases. Chris was a recruiting coup, bringing a tremendous industry reputation and track record of accomplishments to Trilligene. In fact, the VP HR confided that Chris’ hiring led to her eventual promotion. Since joining, Chris has consistently produced several block buster products in record times. Chris has restored the company’s credibility and reputation with
challenging, overly controlling, and lacking interpersonal skills. After many closed-door discussions about Chris between the VP HR and the CEO, the CEO strongly feels that Chris must stay with the business. If Chris were to leave, the results to the business would be dramatic. The CEO fears that Chris could go to a competitor which would make a departure even worse. The VP HR asked that you come in later that day to meet with her, the CEO, and Chris.
