Executive Coaching
Idea Champions' Executive Coaching service provides one-on-one tutorials for managers and business leaders who are committed to raising the bar for themselves and the rest of the organization. This dynamic learning experience provides the process, skills, tools and support needed to help individuals break through old patterns of behavior that are limiting their effectiveness, job satisfaction, and career growth.
Assumptions:
- The technical requirements needed to deliver value to the marketplace have become increasingly complex and dynamic
- The rate of environmental change is unceasingly speeding up
As a result:
The responsibilities of leadership have changed from providing specific direction on how to accomplish tasks to:
- Providing organizational vision and strategy
- Unleashing the potential of employees to identify opportunities to realize the vision and enact the strategy
However:
Many leaders are still operating on the old model of command and control and do not have the skills, abilities or motivation to meet the emergent demands for modern leadership.
Conclusions:
- The skills and abilities needed to develop and disseminate a compelling vision of the future (and to insure that all communications, decisions, organizational systems and procedures are aligned with that vision) are critical to effective leadership.
- The skills and abilities needed to develop and disseminate a robust strategy for achieving the organizational vision (and for winning in the marketplace) are critical to effective leadership.
- The skills and abilities needed for unleashing the initiative and talents of employees are key to effective leadership.
