Leadership Coaching
Recent trends in leadership development programmes around the world exemplify the growing recognition that there is a need to provide coaching to leaders at any level - from experienced to novice, and aspiring leaders. Organisations are developing human resource policies focusing on learning-centred leadership and personalised development. Interactions that help the leader to expand their awareness about possibilities for themselves and others, discover superior solutions, and make & implement better decisions, are crucial to effective coaching. Indicators of this effectiveness are strengths in both energising people to achieve results, and in turn coaching & helping others develop.
In the role of a coach, the fundamental attributes of Aspire to Lead coaching are:
- authentic credibility & maintain integrity of dual role
- trust
- facilitator of learning - personal or professional
- expertise with relationship building and leading change
Elements of four leadership frameworks underpin Aspire to Lead coaching:
Learning conversations during coaching will be guided by Zenger and Stinnett's FUEL coaching framework and process:
- Frame the Conversation- Set the context for the conversation by agreeing to the purpose, process, and desired outcomes of the discussion.
- Understand the Current State- Explore the current state from the coachee’s point of view; expand the coachee’s awareness of the situation to determine the real coaching issue.
- Explore the Desired State- Articulate the vision of success in this scenario, and explore multiple alternative paths before prioritizing methods of achieving this vision.
- Lay Out a Success Plan- Identify the specific, time-bounded action steps to be taken to achieve the desired results, and determine milestones for follow-up and accountability.
