The situation: The
Human Resources Director of a major utility group was promoted to the
position of Chief Operating Officer in a major stream of the business
which included responsibility for crisis planning and management. He
realised that he needed to raise the level of his game and think more
strategically while managing and leading his team in a way that promoted
flexibility and responsiveness. Realising that there was no training
programme available to achieve this end he decided to engage in a coaching
programme.
The solution: During the initial meeting
a clear set of performance and development goals for the coaching relationship
were set. Over subsequent meetings a strategy was put in to place to
achieve these objectives. This process helped clarify and prioritise
key elements of his strategy. |
The result: “To
sit with my coach for an hour once every 6 weeks brings such clarity
and liberation to my thought processes that, for me, the experience
is invaluable. His subtle prompts and challenges provide a real sense
of purpose and direction to the solution of issues and, as such, increase
the feeling of positive achievement. Indispensable.”
Chief Operating Officer, Major Utility Company.
