Effective Corporations "Walk the Talk"

To be effective and therefore sustainable, corporations need to attract and retain top talent and facilitate their development of good leadership skills. Elements that create the foundation for a productive workplace include:

• A clear vision, values and mission, reinforced through regular communications and modeled behaviour

• Accessible and responsive leadership

• An open, non-judgmental environment where mistakes are seen as learning opportunities

• Clear performance expectations

• A staff hiring and integration process that identifies cultural and environmental fit - a match between the values of the incoming worker and those of the corporation.

The Six Attributes of Workplace Coaching

1. Engagement & Participation Focused - Coaching helps people think better. The person coached is the expert - the manager applies appreciative enquiry to listen, engage and encourage the person's participation and development.

2. Positive and Solutions Oriented - The manager learns to focus firmly on solutions – identifying the gap and helping the person coached develop the strategies, tactics and skills to bridge it, establishing trust and a supportive environment.

3. Reframing & Positive Feedback - Paraphrasing and reframing reassures the person coached that they’ve been heard promoting open communications. Encouraged by the compassionate support they experience, their self confidence grows affecting positive performance outcomes and enhanced self esteem to create momentum.

4. KAIZEN approach - Cultivating a commitment to never-ending continuous improvement with a focus on process and results in an atmosphere of no judgment and no blame.

5. Challenge - Designing strategic actions that recognize and enlist the worker’s strengths move them forward to generate optimum performance that invigorates and empowers them and inspires their peers.

6. Goal Setting, Managing Progress & Accountability - Together Coach-Manager and worker create a plan with measurable results, strategies and necessary resources. The worker is supported in the implementation of their plan, adapting to changes, acknowledging progress and celebrating milestones together.
