Coaching for High Performance: Presentation Description

Joe Sherren offers some insight into true management syles for leaders.

A leader’s management style is the single most important factor which will either positively or negatively influence the productivity and loyalty factor of employees. The objective of this mentoring program is to develop, on an individual and confidential basis, a manager’s understanding of his or her true management style and how it affects the performance of employees and team members.

Three fundamental skills are introduced and reinforced throughout the process:

1. Diagnosing: being able to understand the competency level of subordinates within the situation the manager is attempting to influence.
2. Adapting: being able to adapt their behavior to a management style which will be most effective, and will ensure not only high productivity and morale, but positive one-on-one manager-employee relationships.
3. Communicating: being able to convey messages and instill the importance of achieving objectives in a way that people can easily understand, and more importantly, accept in a positive way.

The manager will learn how to apply the concepts, theories and skills developed during the mentoring process to everyday circumstances. The result will be satisfied employees who are committed to achieving the organizational goals.

The Process:

1. One-half day of shadowing/observing the manager to understand his or her predominant management and communication strengths and weaknesses.
2. One full day of leadership training using feedback from employees, self-analysis instruments, and case study work. The manager will learn effective leadership styles using the dynamic leadership model approach.
3. One half day of observing the manager in actual circumstances to reinforce techniques and styles learned during the training.
4. One half day of presentation and communication skills training. The objective of this day is to enhance the manager’s professional and personal image.
5. One-half day of observing the manager, which will include feedback and reinforcement of the positive behaviours exhibited.
6. On-going coaching and counseling as requested.

Other partial days may be added as required and mutually agreed to by the trainer, client, and the manager.
