How this “aggressive & controlling” manufacturing leader transformed into a confident leader who facilitates strategic outcomes
A manufacturing company hired us to help them develop their leaders & culture.
One leader in particular was responsible for leading international projects inside multiple business units.
She had high expectations of herself & others and a low tolerance for those she deemed less capable or slower in their sense of urgency. This combination caused others to perceive her as “aggressive/controlling.”
She was quick to judge & was unintentionally damaging relationships. But she committed to growing & experienced a powerful transformation.
Using The Coach Approach to Leadership™, she was able to:
– Understand what was driving her leadership tendencies
– Increase awareness & ability to manage her own ‘triggers’
– Improve listening, communication, facilitation & coaching skills
– Focus on creative outcomes & reduce reactive behaviors
– Gain an appreciation for others’ value & contribution
All of which helped the team get better results with less stress.
She shared, “I wish I’d received leadership coaching earlier, before starting to work on big scale international projects or having direct reports. I definitely recommend coaching for those who are willing to grow & experience transformation.”
