“A Positive experience with Dan Greer at Amerigroup Tennessee, an Anthem Company.
Amerigroup Tennessee, a Medicaid and Medicare managed care insurer with 650 associates, serving 400,000 members, is based in Nashville Tennessee. Amerigroup is a subsidiary of Anthem, one of the largest health insurers in the United States. AGP Tennessee has a local, senior leadership team consisting of twelve leaders, headed by a market President. Amerigroup has had a distinguished history of ten years with the State of Tennessee contract.
Dan Greer was initially sought out to coach a particular member of the leadership team, helping the individual with development of relationship and organizational skills. Dan’s purpose in the engagement was to maximize the leadership potential of this very talented contributor, who is truly an expert in his field. Dan met with this employee and others in leadership to understand where this individual’s leadership opportunities were, but particularly to enhance and improve relationships with his peers.
Because of Dan’s leadership training experience and keen sense of leadership attributes, others on the leadership team became interested in furthering their own personal development. As a result, over the course of two years Dan developed coaching relationships with all members of the leadership team. In addition, Dan led several team-building exercises, including homework reading assignments, general instruction and individual consultations. Dan also became involved with the succession planning process where he consulted with leadership team members in developing their succession plans.
He also did an excellent job speaking at one of our annual leadership development events during an offsite summit. Leadership team members benefited individually in professional development and the organization became more effective. Much less energy was devoted to non-productive interaction, resulting in better and more expedient decision making.
In summary, during a two year period, Dan led the leadership team through multiple dimensions of leadership development, including team building, succession planning and personal professional development of each member.
As leaders, we thank Dan Greer.”
