Increasing manager effectiveness

We will work with you to develop a Leadership Development Plan (LDP) based on the needs of your role for the next 6-12 months. This plan identifies the results you want to achieve, the key areas you will need to develop as a manager to achieve these and specific strategies and actions to get there. The LDP provides the foundation for on-going coaching, which consists of a range of tools and activities tailored to your needs and style to increase your impact and effectiveness.

Common themes during coaching are:

• Making the transition to a new role
• Building or strengthening your team
• Leading your team during change
• Improving communication and relationships at work
• Developing your confidence and impact as a leader.

You may also choose to undertake Real Time Coaching, where we observe you during usual activities (e.g. running team meetings) and provide detailed feedback and recommendations.

Addressing specific challenges

• Managing your work load and work/life balance
• Dealing with conflict and personality clashes
• Dealing with a difficult staff member (or two)
• Managing up and sideways
• Handling stress to maintain health and well-being.

Career development

Depending on your needs, we may:

• Review your current situation, past career moves and career issues
• Identify your motivators, work values, interests and key skills
• Develop a personal Ideal Job Profile
• Use specialised career tools developed by us, or a range of psychometric instruments
• Explore career options, including development in your current role and organisation
• Design a personal strategic plan to get you where you want to be
• Provide interviewing skills practice or help with job contacts.
