OUR LEADERSHIP COACHING
Is designed for successful executives who have been singled out by their organization as top leaders and high potentials based on Marshall Goldsmith Stakeholder Centered Coaching.
With decades of experience coaching the world’s top leaders, we have a clear picture of what leaders most want and need from executive coaching: essentially how to maximize both personal and business RIO.
The major leadership challenges for managers and executives today is NOT understanding the practice of leadership. BUT practicing their understanding of leadership. For successful organizational leaders to
become more effective, leadership change needs to be positive, sustained, recognized and acknowledged by their stakeholders.
Transparent Process that Guarantees Growth
Our coaching process places a strong emphasis on involvement of stakeholders,
implementation to establish long-lasting behavioral change, and follow-through to measure growth in leadership
effectiveness. The Stakeholder Centered Coaching progress is very time efficient, transparent, and structured, and works as follows:
- The leader selects 1-2 leadership growth areas based on behavioral interviews and multi-rater leadership assessments that identify their leadership strengths and bottleneck
- Stakeholders provide a few practical ‘feedforward’ suggestions that
relate to the selected leadership growth areas on a monthly basis
- The stakeholders’ suggestions and areas for skill development are
incorporated into a monthly action plan that the leader commits to
implementing during the following month
- The leader changes behaviors and perceptions through execution on
the job
- Leadership growth is measured quarterly and is based on changes in stakeholders’ perceptions

for self-determination and learning agility

motivation to change and stakeholders personally benefit from such

micro-processes, these changes naturally become embedded in the
surrounding eco-system
