We worked for over a decade with individual MDs and senior managers, coaching one-to-one and using in-depth qualitative 360 feedback.
When coaching MDs one-to-one, the most common themes they focused on were:
Developing my legacy as a leader.
Managing my own career.
Inspiring others, rather than just ‘shaping’ them.
Working effectively with my peers.
Managing internal stakeholder relationships.
Accelerating my team’s performance.
Handling conflict constructively – with clients and internally.
The art of networking – internally and externally.
When working with senior managers, the focus areas included
Conscious decision making at career transition points.
Succeeding in a new role.
Preparation for promotion.
Maternity returning successfully.
And many more…
Highlights
Development for senior managers wanting to move up to MD level: over 75% of those
we developed were successful in getting promoted.
“A special thank you for all your help and support throughout the year – I’m not sure we would be where we are today
without you.”
“I’d like to say again how positively I viewed the sessions with you; I think your support contributed enormously to my candidacy [to be promoted to MD] but more generally to my personal growth and development.”
