Individual Leadership & Executive Development Programmes
Every organization seeks leaders who are motivated, engaged, and competent. The good news is that great leaders can be developed and cultivated through personal and professional development. Organizations can support leadership development through a strategic approach that involves training, coaching and mentoring.
MCD Consulting provides personalized leadership coaching programmes that address the unique needs of each person. The programme is designed around individual’s current roles and responsibilities to make the learning experience highly relevant so that participants can immediately apply the learning to their day to day work.
Personalized programmes begin and end with competency self-assessments, helping leaders gain a deeper understanding of their strengths, development needs and progress over the course of the programme.
In scenarios where a cluster of leaders partake in one-on-one coaching, their mean competency levels are assessed and presented in reports. This aids the company in comprehending the training and developmental voids within the organisation.
The Coaching Process
Individual coaching programs typically encompass the following components:
- A minimum of 6 hours of 1:1 coaching provided by a qualified and experienced leadership coach.
- Self-assessment of competencies across 16 distinct leadership competency domains.
- Optional assessment of specific role-based competencies, as identified by the organization
- Utilization of a psychometric test to assess emotional intelligence.
- Application of established coaching tools and techniques.
- Creation of a preliminary Individual Professional Development Plan that integrates technical goals with competency goals.
- Compilation of a report for the organization, encompassing competency evaluations and shifts, a copy of the preliminary professional development plans, and suggestions for organizational follow-up.
The Content and Outcomes
The content of 1:1 sessions will depend on individal needs and priority areas. Throughout the sessions, the coach and coachee will do a deep dive into select competency areas such as time management, change management, planning skills, conflict management and motivating others. The competency measurement in session one will determine exacltly which competencies to work on.
Providing this opportunity for your employees to work on a 1:1 basis with a leadership coach demonstrates how much you value and care for your people. Our coaching sessions provide a safe and reflective space to allow people to slow down their thinking, grow their understanding of themselves and their behaviours and plan for their own personal and professional development. Leaders are empowered with a greater understanding of their leadership identity, ambitions and self-potential.
