Cultivating the Aptitude and Ability of SES Leaders

Succession planning starts with identifying a pipeline of high-potential leaders. Our executive development and coaching programs are tailored to meet the specific challenges of your vision and mission, to help you grow the next generation of executive leaders.

Using a combination of proven leadership models and action-learning assignments, your executive participants will accomplish real-world problem-solving while in the classroom. By bringing together a high-caliber cohort group, your executive leaders will find a safe and supportive environment to discuss and act on their toughest leadership challenges. Each participant is supported by an executive coach, who works confidentially to assess the strengths, weaknesses, and dispositions of your leaders. Few experiences are as profoundly transforming.

Bring out the best in your top leadership talent. Bring out the best in your organization. Benefits of an executive development curriculum designed for you:

  • Building and strengthening the corporate culture
  • Creating and maintaining a common leadership language
  • Supporting a "succession planning" process
  • Improving internal executive retention, placement, and promotion rates
  • Improving knowledge sharing, networking, and collaboration across silos
  • Developing executive competencies and knowledge of key operational areas

Organizational Coaching

Executives who have experienced the benefits of coaching often want to deploy coaching on a larger scale to key talent in their organizations. Few firms have a network of qualified coaches that understand the common leadership language of your executives, and offer a consistent level of individual experience. Blanchard’s coaching network has been deployed to meet the challenges of enterprise-wide coaching initiatives for some of the most admired companies in the world.

Coaching Essentials For Leaders

Developing leaders who possess coaching skills can help organizations boost performance, mentoring, and accountability. Coaching Essentials for Leaders teaches managers to emulate great coaches.

Coaching Essentials for Leaders is a skills-based training program that focuses on helping leaders be more coach-like by developing core coaching skills and applying new behaviors to help develop their colleagues, employees, and teams. The program does not attempt to make leaders into coaches. Rather, leaders are encouraged to examine their current behaviors and leadership styles while experiencing how the use of coaching can make them more effective.

Participants learn to:

  • Use coaching to accelerate individual and team progress toward the organization’s objectives
  • Create an environment of trust that accelerates the development of others so that they can more effectively contribute to the organization’s goals
  • Understand and use communication skills that develop self-reliance in others
  • Understand and apply a four-step coaching process that results in clear agreements and initiates action
  • Determine situations when coaching is appropriate for helping others reach a higher level of performance
