THRIVING: Department Leaders
We are dedicated to equipping leaders with the tools they need to excel. Our unique 3-D methodology – Discover, Develop, Demonstrate – is designed to support you in effectively engaging with your team, adopting a coaching leadership style, tackling obstacles, and capitalizing on opportunities that matter most to both you and your team. By aligning with your personal and professional objectives, we ensure that you not only meet but surpass your leadership aspirations.
As a department leader, you deal with demands from clients, from those you report to, and from those who report to you. Clients in your situation often come to us with questions and concerns such as:
- How can I lead my team as a coach without telling them what to do and how to do it?
- How can we attract, hire, and retain the best talent?
- How can we improve employee engagement survey results, so we consistently meet the expected level?
- How can we elevate the way we define, measure, track, and achieve goals annually?
- What is the best way to handle when the volume of work and quality expectations outpace the capacity of our staff, resulting in employee burnout and turnover?
- My team is very talented. What is stopping them from performing at their peak individually and as a team?
As your executive coach, Linda Sinisi works with you on your customized program based on the style of Discovery, Development, and Demonstration of your preference. As the client, you will lead the sessions as you work together to break new ground for your unique path to success.
Here is how executive coaching benefited one of our coaching clients. In order to maintain confidentiality, names have been changed, and some detailed contents have been modified.
Michael, a software engineer who moved up the ladder quickly into a key role, is a department leader in the organization. He is a highly skilled professional, respected by his peers, subordinates, and clients alike for his knowledge, commitment to excellence, and ability to explain the most technical material in a way that people at all levels understand. Despite his success, Michael engaged in Thriving coaching to maximize his productivity and gain more energy.
Michael discovered his strengths, preferences, and areas of opportunity through his coaching sessions. With the support of his coach, Michael explored and experimented with strategies for prioritizing and managing his workload, setting expectations, and achieving short and long-term targets, including career goals. Through this process, Michael identified aspects of his work causing significant fatigue despite his strengths being well-aligned with his responsibilities. Collaborating with his coach, he devised recommendations for the senior leadership team to streamline processes, ensuring optimal performance in the short and long term all having the added benefit of mitigating fatigue.
Near the end of his Executive Coaching engagement, Michael was approached by a senior leader he knew and respected, to work for a company he was familiar with and admired. He was given the opportunity to fulfill his long-term career goals in the short term. As a result of his coaching experience, he was well-positioned to know what he wanted and to spot the right opportunity as it came forward. Michael was able to weigh the pros and cons of making a significant change at that time. He decided to pursue the new opportunity, which aligned best with his strengths and interests, as well as short and long-term goals.
