How CEOs Can Bring Out The Best In All Their People

In this VUCA world, leaders must navigate the complexities of globalisation, technological advancement, social interconnectivity, massively accelerating change and a multi-generational workforce.

Coaching is a powerful tool to develop the potential of people, modify behaviours and drive business success. The 2018 HCI ICF Study found that coaching activities (e.g., one-on-one coaching, team coaching & work group coaching with a professional coach practitioner) are rated as the most helpful in achieving the goals of change management initiatives.

The 2017 ICF study found that organisations with strong coaching cultures indicate recent revenues above that of their industry peer group and report higher employee engagement (61% and 53%, respectively).

Contrary to popular belief, the top three work preferences are the same across most age groups: development opportunities, career advancement and flexibility at work.

Coaching is one of the best ways to develop and grow your talent. Of those who have received coaching, the areas where they report improvement are their work performance, communication skills, productivity, well-being, and business management strategies.

In order for leaders to inspire, influence and engage their people so they can perform and deliver in a world of change, they must develop their practice of leadership. The development of a coaching approach is a key part of this.

This 2017 study also found that one of the biggest impediments to professional coaching was coaches who lacked coach specific training.

DO YOU…

➥ Want your leaders to build more engaged, higher-performing teams and future leaders?
➥ Need your leaders equipped to proactively lead and inspire change and transformation?
➥ Want to develop a culture of learning, innovation and accountability?
➥ Want to retain your key talent?
➥ Want to bring out the best in all your people?

When I’m working with leaders, experts, mentors, trainers, coaches, and consultants, I commonly find they want and need help to develop the following key areas of leadership coaching practice:

⮞ How to develop a coaching self-awareness and apply this to action plans;
⮞ How to coach other people to achieve great results;
⮞ How to manage workplace relationships and create workplace effectiveness;
⮞ How to build rapport in the workplace amongst individuals and teams;
⮞ How to create and foster supportive attitudes, values and beliefs within the workplace;
⮞ How to manage conflict, difficult conversations and negotiations;
⮞ How to give and receive effective feedback and build relationships in the workplace;
⮞ How to get people to show initiative and take responsibility;
⮞ How to work with and connect to the different generations in the workplace;
⮞ How to create and sustain a coaching culture;
⮞ How to identify values, beliefs, and behaviours that enable the successful introduction of corporate strategy;
⮞ How to create and measure real and sustainable change through coaching; and
⮞ How to coach individuals and teams to achieve high performance.
