The Ripple Effect of Leadership Coaching
Coaching as a leadership style has a major impact on performance, engagement and the culture of an organisation. It is an effective way to create a ?ripple effect? throughout your organisation – where coaching, helping others, and unlocking potential is woven into the fabric of your team’s culture.
Coaching from an organisational capacity perspective starts at the top. How do we get the leaders of the business to maximise their high value insights, model behaviour and help unlock and unleash their team’s potential?
The COVID pandemic is dramatically changing our landscape, and is one of the biggest crises the world has endured. Organisations are asking so much from their talent, and their leaders too. We are seeing leaders move from ?performance? to ‘survival,? mode, as they carry the weight of their own uncertainties as well as those employees under them. How do we re-energise our leaders, who have been in survival mode through the COVID crisis?
By equipping your leadership cohort with the skills to coach through change, they can better connect in this fractured work environment. In the face of these tough crisis? the best leaders play a critical role in ensuring engagement, helping to build resilience and lift the spirits of their teams. By developing the coaching & mentoring competency, you build a critical mass of change agents that are able to drive all future changes in the organisation. Leaders with effective coaching skills can leverage internal expertise to fast-track development, improve work performance, transfer skills, increase engagement and drive behavioural/attitudinal change.
Leaders who are part of a coaching culture will:
- Be resilient ? to take on challenges with energy and innovation.
- Have growth mindsets ? catching themselves in fixed/fear mindsets before acting or behaving.
- Be empathetic – acknowledge others? stress and know that people are also struggling with personal and family issues during this difficult time.
- Be inspiring ? remember the values and purpose of the organisation and rally people around it.
- Communicate with clarity ? communicating with realness, clarity, authenticity, and regularity: tell the real story.
When organisations face their most difficult moments, all eyes turn to leaders for guidance. Are your managers, leaders and supervisors equipped with the tools they need to effectively coach your organisation during this crisis?
