Leadership Development Programme
Leader-as-Coach Culture
The main cause of ‘strategy execution failure’ is an outdated notion that the role of the leader is to command and control people.
Developing a ‘Leader-as-Coach’ culture is key to an organisation’s ability to execute strategy and remain focused.
Organisations that develop their managers to be coaches experience consistently higher levels of employee productivity and engagement and enjoy improved economic performance.
A defining quality of a Leader-as-Coach is their ability to develop a winning mood. Organisations that operate at high speed and complexity need leaders who are coaches, not controllers. We develop leaders who shape the understanding, development and learning of team members so they can act independently in alignment with the global strategy of the organisation.
Areas in our Leader-as-Coach Culture programme include:
- The foundations of coaching
- How to manage differences
- How to give effective feedback
- How to have crucial conversations
- How to help team members identify and remove barriers to success
- Action planning and accountability
