Boosting Leadership Success

Executive Coaching

Being a leader is demanding! Leaders need to deliver results today in a continuously changing marketplace, but also have their eye on the future. They need to think systemically, be able to adapt to uncertain and often uncontrollable circumstances, be innovative and simultaneously lead with a clear vision. And they need to be mindful that skills that served them well previously will likely not be enough tomorrow.

Leadership is a continuous process requiring ongoing reflection, learning and renewal.

Successful leaders need to assert their leadership presence but also create space in which others can succeed. Here are some questions to ask yourself:

• Are you developing awareness of your own behavior and how it affects your ability to communicate with impact?
• Are you open to new ways of thinking, risk taking and moving out of your comfort zone?
• Are you listening with heart to learn rather than telling people what to do?
• Are you giving constructive feedback and also championing the ideas of others?
• Are you creating work environments that bring people together, that are transparent, open and encourage collaboration?
• Are you creating a network of key stakeholders and committed allies?
• Are you aligning your professional activities and decisions with your personal priorities and values?

Leadership Transitions and Onboarding New Leaders

New leaders, whether transitioning to a new role or into a new organization, will be confronted with fresh opportunities but also challenges. The first few months are critical. Coaching can accelerate your transition and help you build and sustain momentum.

It will help you focus on:

• Understanding your context and the culture to avoid pitfalls and identify strategic opportunities
• Developing allies
• Engaging your team’s enthusiasm and commitment
• Creating early and small wins
