The Quiet Team

Engagement in one credit team has collapsed and two senior analysts have resigned. The division head wants a leadership programme for all twelve of his managers.

The requestClaim

Engagement in Corporate Credit Analysis fell from 81 to 58 and I lost two of my best analysts. Clearly my managers need better leadership skills. Please design a leadership development programme for all twelve managers in the division.

From Waleed Al-Mansour, Head of Corporate Banking

Organisation: Sahel Bank: Corporate Banking Division

Sector: Banking
Size: Division of 140 staff; bank of 3,800

Ten months ago the division merged two credit teams under one manager, Tariq, promoted from top analyst. Soon after, the risk function tightened approval authorities.
