Unleashing Individual and Team Potential
Many organisations miss out on the tailored development programmes offered by business schools and are put off by the `ten steps to heaven' solutions offered by consultancies. They can often gain better value by using executive and employee coaching.
This is a specialist service we are able to offer which focuses on the development of key staff. It reflects the current trend towards individuals taking more responsibility for their own learning and not relying on the expert to take care of them.
We are able to use our experience to try and fit the right kind of approach with the appropriate member of staff. Senior managers may typically be fairly direct at problem solving, want to work alone and if they cannot resolve it, ask someone they respect for a solution.
We can provide the coach for this assignment
More reactive staff, on the other hand, like to talk it over with others with as much understanding as possible until they solve their own problem or decide they can live with it.
We can provide a different type of coach for this assignment
Many organisations have coaches but their approach needs refreshing or modernising. They try hard but often end up correcting problems themselves.
We can offer assessment training and supervision for these people
Effective coaching has many benefits including:
- Maximising your investment in training
- Optimising individual's potential
- Encouraging flexibility
- Building teamwork
- Maintaining the relationship between team leader and team member
Much traditional coaching operates on the premise that coaches will be previously successful managers and that the coach advises the team member what to do to succeed within the team. Whilst this can work we also see developmental coaching as an essential tool.
Developmental coaching is based upon the approach where the coach can listen and reflect while the learner comes to their own conclusions about their future development.
Many organisations that seek change, unwittingly maintain the old culture through a traditional style of coaching. Our system can be adapted to get the best from your staff. Also available are videos and learning based projects specifically designed for individuals at no extra charge.
The Coaching Process:-
We see coaching as a process, which needs to be managed just like any other function. Developing your approach will galvanise your teams and your staff and help them see it as an integrated part of working life.
