Purpose
Transitions can be very challenging and they are a perfect time to focus on creating the best possible foundation for ongoing success, to re-define and recalibrate their “executive presence” to fit these new roles and to craft the most effective relationships with new stakeholders and teams.
Process
Verbal 360 and Self-Assessment:
The coach conducts a verbal 360 and reviews the targeted role. The participant completes a leadership self-assessment. The coach creates a success profile report that integrates all data collected this will form the basis of the coaching strategy.
Coaching Sessions (example)
Session 1: Review the integrated report. Craft an IDP.
Session 2: Focus on your leadership challenges.
Session 3: Focus on your business context and develop a plan.
Session 4: Developing your relationships (ex: Leading a senior team).
Session 5: Focus on personal health and balance (ex: Redefining personal value).
Session 6: Focus on your team member’s opportunities and challenges.
Development Planning Meeting
Review and celebrate progress. Three-way development planning meeting to discuss progress and need for continuing support.
Outcomes
Targeted coaching can help the executive make a smooth transition to a new set of challenges and to build needed skills like:
- Bigger picture thinking.
- Adjusting their leadership style to a larger stage.
- Inspiring the work rather than doing the work – to a wider set of stakeholders.
- Carrying culture. Becoming a symbolic representation of the organization.
- Refining Executive presence and skill set.
