1Senior manager whose thinking under board pressure distorts in ways she recognizes after, not during
Context
A senior manager at a nonprofit organization presents quarterly to the board and leads a high-stakes funding renewal process annually. After a recent board meeting, she described to her coach that she had left the meeting convinced the board was disappointed, had already decided not to renew, and that her performance was the primary cause.
