Leadership Coaching

The Leadership Coaching Process

The RPC Leadership Associates, Inc Leadership Coaching process helps leaders improve their effectiveness and performance in a more purposeful way. It offers the leader the opportunity to stand back and take a fresh look at their experiences and assumptions by enabling them to…

  • Identify inner resources yet untapped.
  • Target priority areas for growth and development.
  • Promote healthy alignment between career and personal life, so they can sustain the vitality necessary for effective leadership.
  • Uncover specific behaviors that need to change in order to achieve short-term and long-term desired results.
  • Challenge underlying beliefs and values, and offer possibilities   for fundamental change that will enhance the overall quality of life.

The coaching process can take a number of forms depending on the needs of the individual leader and the desires of the organization who requests the leadership coaching. The process typically unfolds as follows:

  • The leader and coach meet to discuss the need and make a decision about whether leadership coaching is the best approach to achieve the desired results. As coaching is goals based, an initial idea of the leader’s goals is established at this point.
  • The leader and the coach identify key strengths, weaknesses, and developmental needs through a comprehensive assessment process and put together a plan. At some point, the assessment process may include a 360-feedback process that includes the leader’s manager, peers and subordinates.
  • The leader and coach work together to achieve the agreed upon objectives. The process cadence generally ebbs once the leader establishes momentum toward acquiring enhanced leadership abilities and developed an organizational support mechanism for ongoing growth.
