A Practical, Proven Approach to Executive Coaching
Leaders realize ever-higher levels of success in tackling strategic change and pivotal transitions through a 5-step process:
Assess
Gather and summarize insights that blend psychometric instruments (Hogan personality) and stakeholder perspectives (interview-based and/or surveyed 360 input) to identify the drivers, effectiveness and impacts of leadership
Target
Identify goals and practical steps to achieve “from/to” development goals, i.e., what specifically do I want to do more of, differently or better? Define a plan that leverages key experiences, relationships and learning resources
Align
Share development insights and goals with direct manager and other stakeholders to confirm commitment and enlist support
Coach
Ongoing coaching discussions to empower success in implementing committed behavior changes and development strategies, in the context of the real world transition and change challenges
Review
Structured survey of stakeholders to gauge degree of change and reinforce continued progress (what’s better, worse and advice for continued improvement)
