30 Jun Leadership & Coaching
Are the employees successful in their new roles once moved?
This is a good question for any organization.
Competencies can help to identify the future leaders of your organization. Often organizations resort to intuition and unconscious biases when “categorizing” employees as high-potential future leaders.
A less biased, and more equitable approach is to assess leadership potential by using a common set of leadership competencies This approach ensures that the executive team uses valid, observable, and measurable behaviors to assess where each employee is today, including a deeper understanding of their readiness for future leadership roles.
Once this step has been done, then contracting about working on changing behaviors and integrating new ones on a daily base, is a significant step forward where coaching can help a lot!
Changing behaviors needs time, exposure, and support.
It is already known that especially when we become tired, the tendency is to get back quickly to behaviors which we are comfortable with and became patterns easy to follow.
A new behavior is integrated after practicing it hundreds of times, becoming a habit.
That is a wise path!
As a client in a coaching process, you are responsible for your decisions and actions which can lead towards goals’ achievement.
Having a reference in the beginning helps you to become aware of where you will start and where do you want to be.
What is in between means exploration, reflection followed by actions.
Such a complete process can last 6 months or even more.
The recommendation is to have the focus on 1-2 competencies maximum and simultaneously so that you can build something consistent which can last over time.
As a client, I personally enjoy a lot to look at my progress and that is why, for me an initial assessment is very welcomed.
I encourage you to take the chance and explore such a process either as a member in an organization or as a person, being your own sponsor.
The journey and the outcome of it are of great value!
