It has never been more important to consider what constitutes effective public-sector leadership and how to equip leaders with the needed skills. Leadership is critical to good public governance, including good planning, efficiency, transparency, and accountability. “To produce such leaders, the public sector must make leader development a key pillar of its overall strategy for the future.” – BCG

Senior Leadership Team Coaching is a customized session focused on transforming individual leaders into a true team.
Based on sponsor and team member input, objectives are developed, assessments selected, and a custom workshop developed. During the workshop, exercises enable participants to reflect on their own strengths and needs, as well as other team members. They then learn approaches for working together more effectively. Participants learn how to apply these insights by applying insights and new content to tackle real-world problems the team is facing. During this work, the coach provides real time feedback to reinforce new habits and call out old ineffective ones.
Senior Leadership One on One Coaching is on understanding how their leadership approaches and behaviors impact others and exploring new approaches to improve impact.
The coaching process starts with coach selection by the executive based on matched profiles. Next, an assessment is implemented and debriefed with the executive helping them see themselves and their impact on others more clearly. A coaching plan is developed and over a series of coaching sessions, the leader explores alternate perspectives, approaches, and tools to improve their impact. Upon conclusion there is an opportunity for remeasurement.
Our executive coaches are credentialed through ICF, WABC and have all held executive / senior level roles. They are certified in 10+ 360-degree feedback and psychometric tools to support development. Typical engagements consist of 8 to 12 one hour sessions.
