CZIGAN, T: Combining Coaching and Temperament - Pasta blanda

Leadership development is one of the biggest challenges faced by organizations today as talent retires with few qualified replacements on the horizon. This coaching program was specifically designed for middle managers. Combining coaching, temperament, multi-rater feedback, award-winning leadership competencies and content from the best leadership gurus in the industry, coaching provided a flexible means of tailoring leadership development content to the temperament type of each client.

Participating middle managers immediately practiced the competencies in a real-time setting and were able to develop leadership styles unique to each of them. After participating in the program, co-workers and supervisors of the participants observed a 17% to 60% increase in the use of the coached leadership competencies. These are the managers being groomed to move up and they can now hit the ground running! As your organization plans for the future, coaching can be an important tool for personnel retention, employee satisfaction and succession planning.
