Become a Super Boss & Coach – for Business Leaders!
90% of Fortune 500 leaders don’t know how to coach. Learning to coach doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. We’ll get every leader in your organization to develop the coaching habit in 3 easy lessons.
Developing the skill of coaching is the ultimate strategic advantage today.
The most valuable human capabilities in the world today are the least manageable, but can be coached. Nerve. Artistry. Élan. Originality. Grit. Valor. Non-conformity. Derring-do.
Talented millennials don’t want a cop or a boss, but leaders who are coaches and whose style is collaborative.
Being a super-boss who coaches people is missing in most business degrees – MBAs, Accounting and Engineering.
We help business leaders learn to coach and develop a coaching culture in three 90-minute lessons.
Lesson 1. Masterful Coaching “Come From”
Coaching an individual or group is like following a river through twists and turns. You can’t have a coaching plan for everything. We will teach you a place to come from that can be applied to a wide variety of practical situations.
- Think and act like a coach 24/7 (no jerk rule)
- Stand in people’s greatness – cause their success
- EQ is more important than IQ
- Get people to dare to dream, not settle
- Build a team, not just a group of direct reports
- High performance always comes down to development
Lesson 2. Masterful Coaching Skills and Competencies
Most business leaders graduate with MBAs or accounting or engineering degrees, yet are not trained to inspire people to bring their souls to work, produce extraordinary results, or become a high performance team. These are the skills of a Super-Boss/ Masterful Coach.
- Spot great people – Invest in relationships
- Draw people out – Listen more than you talk
- Link personal and organization ambitions
- Provide great feedback by reframing thinking and behavior
- Create both performance and playing fields to build skills
Lesson 3. Masterful Coaching Conversations
Today, every manager will be more successful if they stop acting like a boss who is telling people what do and start acting like a coach who is trying to help people to be successful. Coaching doesn’t have to be complicated. You can build a positive coaching habit with these seven questions.
- What’s really on your mind? Tell me more.
- What’s the REAL challenge here for you?
- How can I help?
- What do you want here?
- What’s your strategy to get there?
- What’s the biggest take away for you?
After our leadership team went through the course, our ability to have frank conversations expanded and our results took off.
I developed the ability to talk to people about how their thinking was getting them into trouble and how they could change that to get the results they wanted.
I find myself reacting less to poor performance. Now I have a way to talk to people to get them to refocused and start doing the things they need to do to get results.
