Leadership Development Coaching
Several assessments will be vital in assisting the executive leader in identifying growth opportunities by providing valuable information and feedback to the leader. The leader’s self-awareness is strengthened.
A cornerstone assessment includes an “Interactive 360,” which is conducted in one-on-one interviews by the coach, and a thorough report summarizes the themes and suggested developmental actions.
Studies have shown that investing in the right people in the correct position will maximize the organizations’ returns on the investment to develop them. Leadership Developmental Coaching invests in leaders who show strong potential in holding future leadership positions through the key indicators of abilities, social skills, and drive. These individuals are sometimes categorized as High-Potential Candidates as identified in the organization’s talent identification process.
Besides the Interactive 360, other potential assessments that may be of value are DISC, SCTi – MAP (Adult Maturity Profile), EQi Assessment, MBTi, Thomas Kilmann Conflict Assessment, Enneagram, Listening Assessments, or others which an organization may have a preference.
