Leadership Development
Transitioning from a role as an individual contributor to a leader of people can be a difficult and challenging proposition with significantly different rewards. David coaches leaders in the following areas to increase their competence and confidence as leaders:
- Think and act strategically; pay attention tothe big picture.
- Develop skills as a process designer.
- Build and a sustain a team.
- Monitor performance; reinforce positive performance and address poor performance.
- Remove distractions.
- Maintain a fair even keel when dealing with subordinates and peers.
- Communicate effectively.
- Establish standards of excellence and holdpeople accountable to them.
- Create and sustain a trust-based collaborative environment with warmth.
To be successful, developing leaders have to understand what is rewarding for them as a leader so that they don’t fall into the trap of thinking and acting too tactically and being experienced as a micro-manager. Becoming a leader requires people to value the role in which they help others be successful.
