If the first two go unchecked then a Personal Situation can arise as a consequence. Besides these induced personal situations, we have met managers who were going through situations in their personal life or even who were seeking changes in their professional lives. These situations were giving rise to the internal tensions the manager was feeling despite the external success. Discussing these issues and helping the manager work through them tends to enable more understanding and support of the manager which leads to the potential achievement of results.&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;ordered-list-item&quot;,&quot;depth&quot;:0,&quot;inlineStyleRanges&quot;:[{&quot;offset&quot;:0,&quot;length&quot;:19,&quot;style&quot;:&quot;BOLD&quot;},{&quot;offset&quot;:291,&quot;length&quot;:7,&quot;style&quot;:&quot;ITALIC&quot;}],&quot;entityRanges&quot;:[],&quot;data&quot;:{}},{&quot;key&quot;:&quot;bal0r&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;unstyled&quot;,&quot;depth&quot;:0,&quot;inlineStyleRanges&quot;:[],&quot;entityRanges&quot;:[],&quot;data&quot;:{}},{&quot;key&quot;:&quot;7hi7r&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Working with these managers has always led to solutions being found for the benefit of the manager and the company. The fascination of these situations, and the challenge, is that the end solutions were frequently simpler than imagined and they were also not always what was expected since our thoughts are usually conditioned by our immediate experiences and views. Whatever the solutions and whatever the direction taken, each plan for the way forward always needs to be something that will benefit the manager personally yet also benefit the company in the long run. The plan itself and its execution also needs to take continuity, stability and longevity into consideration.
