Executive
Coaching
I work with high-potential, high-achieving
employees who fall into one of two categories:
-
They have been targeted to move to the next level, and management
would like them to hone already strong skills.
-
They have not moved to the next level because of problems in
one or more of the following areas:
Self-Awareness |
- Openness to feedback
- Ability to self-assess
- Awareness of how decisions impact others
|
Self-Regulation |
- Take responsibility for actions and reactions.
- Communicate confidence.
- Manage emotions:
- Anger
- Defensiveness
- Aggression
- Blaming
- Withdrawing
- Fear
|
Influencing Skills |
Effective leaders share the ability to
- Create a culture of interdependence.
- Practice open, timely, and continuous communication.
- Know when to “make the decision” and when
to invite others into the decision-making process.
- Make thinking process transparent to others.
- Listen openly.
- Invite feedback from reports, peers, and supervisors.
- Field tough questions and feedback without defensiveness.
- Persuade rather than mandate.
- Resolve disagreements while preserving the integrity
of others.
- Prepare people for change.
