"My goal was to clearly define the boundaries of both management and leadership so that I become more leadership oriented. Teams and individuals have experienced a new level of support and encouragement. Results have been clearly communicated and appropriately celebrated. The legacy of this experience has already been invaluable in my business life. I am empowered to exercise the learnings on a daily basis." - Senior Manager, major Australian Bank

Understanding of their needs

The coachee was very committed to their management role and the organisation was keen to develop them further. Some of the key areas that were holding the person back from moving forward in the career were:

• Developing a more strategic orientation and develop business thinking
• Successfully executing the vision and ownership of planning
• Gaining a more accurate role perception
• More confidence in dealing with senior stakeholders
• Enhancing leadership presence through greater self-awareness and application
• Building a strong business network

Our recommendation

A 3-month Coaching and Development Program applying the Barrett Coaching approach. This time frame was recommended to allow for time to facilitate behaviour change and see the outcomes from initiatives. We ran a 1-hour coaching session over the phone every 2 weeks with clear goals and objectives set for the coachee to apply and self-reflect on in between sessions.
