“He was a good manager, but through this program he successfully transitioned into a respected leader. We are a better company because of these philosophies, programs, and systems.”
— Owner/President
THE CHALLENGE
The owner of Redrock Media concluded that without external expertise and focused leadership development, sales performance was unlikely to meet long-term expectations. While the sales manager had proven to be a strong player-coach, ownership recognized that future success would require a different level of leadership capability.
Key challenges included:
-
Preparing a leader to guide Redrock Media into the future
-
Building accountability and coaching consistency
-
Helping a tenured leader gain clarity and confidence
-
Ensuring leadership decisions were objective, intentional, and aligned with business priorities
Ownership made a proactive commitment to leadership development, believing that investing in this leader could pay long-term dividends.
THE SOLUTION
Redrock Media invested in 360 Leadership Coaching, using a strengths-based approach designed to help experienced leaders grow without starting over.
The program helped the leader:
- Identify innate sales management strengths
- Receive candid, objective feedback on how behaviors were experienced by others
- Pivot development from fixing weaknesses toward leveraging strengths
- Work one-on-one with a coach to translate insight into practical leadership behaviors
- Gain a clearer, more objective perspective on their role and impact
The coaching emphasized clarity, confidence, and intentional leadership rather than corrective training.
“Instead of focusing on weaknesses, the coaching helped me lean into my strengths. I now approach challenges with greater confidence and a clearer understanding of how to maximize my impact.”

Key Outcomes
- Clear distinction between managing and leading
- Increased leadership confidence and credibility
- Stronger collaboration across business units
- More consistent, objective decision-making
- A strong leadership foundation for the future
Redrock Media’s investment demonstrated that leadership development is most effective when it builds on existing strengths rather than attempting to correct perceived shortcomings.
Why This Matters
For sales leaders preparing their organizations for future growth, developing leadership capability is essential. Redrock Media’s experience shows that strengths-based coaching can help leaders gain clarity, improve decision-making, and guide their teams with greater confidence.
Investing in leadership development strengthens not only individual leaders but also the organization’s ability to perform, adapt, and grow over time.
"When I first heard about the 360 Leadership Coaching process, I was immediately intrigued because I strongly believe that understanding the problem is half the battle. Gaining clarity around my strengths and weaknesses—both as a manager and as a salesperson—has been extremely valuable.
What stood out most to me was that while many programs focus primarily on fixing weaknesses, the 360 Leadership Coaching encouraged me to lean into my strengths. After completing my assessment, I had a much clearer understanding of where I naturally perform best and how I should approach different situations. Since then, I’ve noticed I handle challenges with greater confidence because I’m intentionally operating from my strengths.
I’ll admit, having an assessment that highlights both strengths and weaknesses can feel intimidating at first, but the CSS team made the entire process very comfortable and constructive. Because of that experience, I would absolutely recommend the 360 coaching for leaders and managers.
Following my assessment, I met regularly with a Talent Analyst to review goals that were aligned with my strengths. The combination of the 360 Assessment and the ongoing coaching sessions allowed me to take a true 10,000-foot view of my role as a manager and better understand how to maximize my impact by using my strengths more intentionally."
