Leadership Coaching
The demands on leaders are escalating. Partnering with a coach provides an additional opportunity for success for leaders taking on new challenges. We have a track record of working with C-level (executive) leaders, high-potential and succession candidates, and newly hired or promoted leaders onboarding and assimilation (first 100-days).
Coaching can accelerate development in a variety of areas including: gaining greater self-awareness and confidence, building executive presence, developing a more authentic personal leadership brand, improving communication or presentation skills, building stronger relationships with peers, direct reports or supervisors, becoming more empathetic, or building a more collaborative team.
The Work of Leaders Model: Vision, Alignment, Execution (VAE)
The work that leaders do – the work that really matters – is boiled down to three areas: crafting a vision, building alignment, and championing execution.
- Crafting a Vision: imagining an improved future state that the group will make a reality through it’s work
- Building Alignment: getting to the point where everyone in the group understands and is committed to the direction
- Championing Execution: ensuring that the conditions are present for the imagined future to be turned into a reality
This model lays out a manageable, realistic framework that can be very useful for a recently promoted or hired leader. For some leaders, taking the Work of Leaders assessment or 360 degree feedback is a useful complement to the coaching process. In addition to the two assessment tools above, it is also possible to provide targeted coaching for 1-1 relationships as noted in this sample comparison report.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
– John Quincy Adams
From the CEO, the C-Suite and executive leadership teams to individual leaders at every stage of the leadership pipeline, coaching can help make the difference that will enable your leaders and organization to thrive.
Coaching sessions may occur in person, via Skype, or on the phone. Sessions are typically one hour and held weekly for three to six months depending on the need.
