Background

Many organizations are recognizing the importance of a strategic focus on key sustainability issues if they are to prosper in the increasingly complex and changeable business environment. This means working towards triple bottom line performance: economic longevity, social responsibility and environmental sustainability. This in turn involves "joining the dots" on a host of macro and micro issues including rising population, growing demand for energy and raw materials, increased pollution and ecosystem damage, increased cost of climate change effects, and increasing calls for social justice.

To lead successfully in this increasingly complex and unpredictable world requires us to think and see in correspondingly more flexible and sophisticated ways. More precisely, the complexity of our seeing and thinking must at least match the complexity of the organisations, markets and wider social systems we operate in. We need to be able to see interdependencies, work cross-culturally, enable people to work effectively together, operate in fast-changing environments, and see systemically. This demands that we see and think globally - and that those who lead make the personal and professional journey to seeing and acting from this global perspective.

Leadership coaching is designed for leaders who recognise the need to make this journey and who want their organizations to be profitable, provide fulfilling work for their people, and make a positive contribution to society and the environment.

It is for leaders who see leadership as being an expression of their willingness to engage in the issues and challenges that they see around them.

 
What does Leadership Coaching Involve?

Leadership coaching is tailored to your specific needs. It can include helping you:

  • appreciate your current worldview, leadership level and leadership identity
  • understand the environmental and social trends affecting the future of business, and your organisation's ecology
  • envision (see/hear/feel) clearly the future of your organisation and explore the pathway for getting there
  • be the change your organisation needs you to be
  • master the 4 territories of leadership (Identity, Intent, Action, Attraction)
  • develop new strategies for influencing others
  • be a coach and mentor to key players in the organisation
  • align individuals and the organisation through a shared purpose
  • make the high profile interventions that spell out your intention
  • align your communications around your key messages and aspirations for your organisation
  • role model in your vision, intent and identity the higher purpose of the company
  • create and tell the stories that will shift the organisational context
  • sustain your vision, values and new behaviours and resist the pull to revert to habitual behaviours
 
Buying Leadership Coaching

Leadership Coaching can be structured in a wide range of ways - but typically starts with a one or two day off-site followed by half- or full-day sessions with shorter face to face or telephone support in between as needed. This is a significant programme and costs from £12,000. To discuss your requirements in more detail contact Mike Munro Turner on +44 1684 893380 or
