Question to Bolster
Van der Zwan : “Sometimes you are in a phase where you wonder what the next step should be. Am I still good at my current position, how can I improve there, or should I look for another challenge within the organization? Then it is advisable to let someone watch, to help you discover more about yourself. What are your strengths and which ones do you want to develop further within your current or a new position?”
Approach
Harry van der Zwan worked for this challenge with Thomas Beerepoot, co-founder of Bolster. The trajectory was about personal themes related to leadership.
Van der Zwan: “The razor-sharp analyzes and direct way of working quickly made it clear what my personal strengths and areas for improvement were. As a result, I was less concerned with how I operated, and I was given space to work from myself and my talents.
How can I function as a leader based on feeling? It was mapped out what I encountered both privately and within the company, decisions were made and new views and ways of acting were offered.”
Result
Double profit, personal and business progress. Van der Zwan continued to grow within the existing job. He could lead his team more firmly. Because he knew himself better and where his strengths and weaknesses lay, he was also better able to ask for help from team members. Acknowledging what you’re not so good at, seeing what you didn’t see before or wanted to show others.
