Executive Coaching
Executive Coaching is a process in which an individual and an experienced, trusted person have a series of time-limited, confidential, one-on-one conversations designed to help the individual improve effectiveness. This often involves telephone sessions which allow for ‘on-call’ coaching and 7/24 service. The LE Coach focuses on achieving the individual’s goals by understanding the work setting and integrating learning insights with specific job responsibilities, challenges, and the goals of the organization. Personal styles often trigger Executive Coaching. To illustrate: Direct reports want more responsibility from a micromanaging supervisor; peers have identified a member who is untrustworthy; a manager needs more communication from her boss; an executive wants to be more creative; a manager wants people to see him as more supportive and not as demanding; a direct report is seen as stubborn, etc.
Typically, individuals want to be more or less of something or want to stop or start something. What is there that you do at work that you wish you could increase, decrease, stop or start?
I wish I could do more _____________________.
I wish I could do less ______________________.
I want to stop ______________________________.
I want to start ______________________________.
Consider those around you and apply the same model?
I wish Ms/Mr ‘X’ did more _____________________.
I wish Ms/Mr ‘X’ did less ______________________.
I want Ms/Mr ‘X’ to stop ______________________________.
I want Ms/Mr ‘X’ start ______________________________.
Gathering information like this from you plus others in your work environment would help your LE Executive Coach tailor the process to meet your desired outcomes.
