Coaching skills for Leaders

Many senior executives will have their own coach, or have a style that emulates that of a coach. A coaching style is becoming recognised as one of the most effective, empowering and transformational tools that leaders can have at their disposal.

Coaching skills for Leaders As a leader, your ability to inspire, nurture and drive excellence is paramount in liberating and maximising the potential of your key resource – your people. Alongside a range of leadership attributes, adopting a coaching style with others will enable greater engagement.

CIPD research illustrates that some of the drivers for the rise in the popularity of coaching include:

Improved decision-making by senior executives

Financial cost of poor performance

Targeted ‘just in time’ development

Rapidly evolving business environments

Our approach

Our preference would be to meet you in your workplace to identify what outcomes you would wish to see from the coaching approach to leadership. We would gain an appreciation of the environment and conditions you operate in, which would enable us to design the most appropriate way of working with you.

Our facilitators are coaching experts and not only meet our own high accreditation standards, but those set by the Association for Coaching (AC), the International Coach Federation (ICF), and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC).

Maintaining Return on Expectation (ROE)

After adopting a coaching approach, you will be surprised by the return of investment/expectation you can create. However, it is worth considering staying in ‘peak condition’ yourself by finding a co-coaching network, engaging your own coach, or benefiting from supervision, all of which Primeast can help you access.
