CEOs and MDs oVen struggle with both professional and personal issues, to the detriment of company performance and their family life Teams and leaders are ge]ng more dysfuncNonal of trust, transparency and dialog (especially in larger organiza=ons) Rules of running large organizaNons have changed and the pressure of performance is much higher and cut-throat CEO and Senior Leaders are feeling more lonely at the top with no-one to share their thoughts and frustraNons They need somewhere where they can be open and free to talk without worry of being judged or threatened

Challenges

Senior leaders are looking for a place where they can be open and free to talk without worry of being judged or threatened The power of Peer Groups in such organizaNons could be absent and non-funcNonal An outside independent gathering is much more effecNve and produces bigger and quicker results CEO’s and leaders are trying hard to develop their strengths to fulfill their role in the ‘Driving Seat’ of the company

One-to-one Coaching ConfidenNal, one-to-one execuNve coaching and leadership development sessions take place during the month:

TURNING 360 DEGREE FEEDBACK INTO “POSITIVE CHANGE’”!

We apply Dr. Marshall Goldsmith’s approach (recognized as the # 1 ‘Leadership Thinker’ and one of the top 5 ‘Management Thinkers’ in the world) where the focus is not purely on the past but it concentrates on suggesNons for the future!

At the execuNve level, few direct reports want detailed instrucNons on how to do their work. What they want is ongoing communicaNon with their execuNves concerning the "big picture”, how their work is making a difference and suggesNons on how they can improve.

Results from the 360 degree leadership assessment allows one-to-one leadership coaching and team building where the focus is not on “feed-back’’ (resistance to negaNve feedback about the past) but rather more on “feed-forward’’ (posiNve suggesNons for the future)

EffecNve execuNve coaching assist the leader to help direct reports be "right" tomorrow, as opposed to proving they were "wrong" yesterday The key to helping you turn 360 degree feedback into meaningful behavioural change is for you to follow-up with your co-workers.

360 Degree Assessments
