The Call to ActionTM
Successful talent management has become a critical competitive advantage for companies who have decided to invest more resources in the knowledge economy. Placing individuals in the appropriate assignments and shepherding their development is more important than ever. Coaching is now seen as a key aspect of development.
The
focus of how we coach our clients is to create measurable changes in
their behavior that lead to significant business results. Our
belief is that individuals can successfully change for the long term if
they focus on one to two behaviors at a time, develop measurable
results as goals and enlist the commitment of key stakeholders to
support those behavioral changes. Our Call to Action™ coaching
process is designed to ensure our clients make changes dictated by what
their leadership situation is calling for them to do.
Organizations enlist our help in coaching their leaders when they need to:
- Ensure that their leaders have the skills, behaviors and style to successfully lead the way through significant change, such as that in strategic direction, organizational growth, retrenchment or the presence of new stakeholders.
- Challenge and develop their future leaders to be ready for the next assignment.
- Polish the leadership style of talented individuals who have rough edges.
- Redirect valued executives facing business challenges and difficulties achieving results.
- Retain high-performing staff who may be a “flight risk”.
- Develop technical experts into effective leaders.
- Help leaders overcome the effects on their productivity due to work/life imbalances.
We use a combination of 360-degree leadership assessment reports, robust self-assessment questionnaires and interviews to help an individual obtain a clear picture of his or her strengths and weaknesses and what his or Call to Action™ is.
Once the coaching assessment phase has been completed, we create with the client a coaching process that guides the individual to make the changes necessary for them to fulfill his or her Call to Action™.
We also provide one-day intensive coaching sessions where we diagnose the client’s leadership situation, provide her or him with feedback and create a plan that focuses on immediate behavioral change.
