Coaching leaders to work on ‘real world, real time’ development issues
Organisational performance is often down to the leaders’ ability to tune into and engage effectively with their teams. Leaders work within systems, i.e. groups of people each with their own values, motives, characters, etc. It is important therefore to take a snapshot in time of how others perceive them so that they can hone their leadership, communication and influencing skills. It has been proven that the top 20% of leaders obtain 40% better results in terms of customer satisfaction and reduced turnover (see below- Zenger & Folkman).
Unlike other 360 feedback reports the Q-OPD 360 identifies a leader’s strengths, gaps and the degree of change required to make a difference in others’ perceptions. Such 360 feedback used in coaching has many uses including:
- Enabling career progression by accurately identifying strengths as well as gaps in their skill set
- Engaging participants as they feel they are not wasting their time and effort on irrelevant development activities
- Creating accountability – leaders know that their behavioural change will be noticed and tracked using the Q-OPD pre- and post-360 feedback reports
- Showing a return on investment for the coaching process by providing measurable results following coaching.
Four step 360 effectiveness plan
Many leaders are deluded regarding their performance and often overestimate their skill level. The Q-OPD 360 report will provide a ‘reality check’ for focused development.
1. Reality check – how are you helping or hindering your career progression and work success? We will help you understand what are your strengths, potential and blind spots. Key outcomes are to raise your level of self and social awareness understand how you are perceived in the workplace.
2. Identify your decision criteria.
We will help you establish what really matters to you in work and in life. This step ends with a set of decision criteria, weighted for importance, to guide your developmental plan. In addition this knowledge creates motivational momentum to drive your personal development plan
3. Gaining clarity and insight
We guide you through this practical process, drawing upon a wide variety of sources, in order to identify and target the behaviours that will have most impact on your performance
