How my coaching approach can help leaders when it gets tough.
It can all be going well and then…
Even (but not only) clients that are established leaders, at the top of their game, can get caught in a cloud of doubt.
For one client is was a series of small oversites. They managed them with no big impact on overall results, yet it knocked them trusting themselves.
For another it was a buy out that had an almost overnight impact on their being scrutinised for every action and decision.
A further client found that a change in the team upset their sense of place and a negative change in their behaviour and mindset ensued.
Another was worn out with coping following Covid restrictions and a constant sense of needing to adapt and change.
Managing intense feelings requires emotional awareness
Even with the clarity of objectives, goals, vision and process (and if you don’t have these, how can you have focus for what’s important workwise?), it’s how a situation makes you ‘feel’ that can take you off course from leading well and being well.
‘Leaders with empathy (EQ*) perform over 40% higher in employee engagement, decision-making, and coaching’.
