Setting the scene:
Promotion into a leadership role often comes with many unique challenges ranging from how to gain respect from your former colleagues to how to shift from a doer to providing leadership/oversight. Coaching often provides an effective avenue for the new manager to shift their ordinary staff mindset into a leader mindset.
Scenario:
A fast growing SME created a business development manager role to spearhead their expansion strategy and resourced the role internally by a star performer at individual level. The new role required not only leading and inspiring a team but also providing innovative solutions in an environment of constantly changing client preferences. This situation was quite overwhelming and the performance started to decline.
Outcomes
At the end of the coaching period the client had developed her internal confidence, clarified her vision, sharpened her strategic focus and was ready to inspire the team into great heights.
To quote the client “I am proud of who I have become. Coaching works 100%“
“I am the coach for top leaders who want to dramatically transform their leadership style “
