Leadership Coaching
At INtwoIT Leadership Development & Coaching we believe effective and engaging leadership is a choice governed by thoughtful action, emotional intelligence, self-awareness and a deep desire to lead and develop the talent of others. Leadership coaching offers leaders the opportunity to identify their leadership strengths and areas for development.
Often leadership coaching is pursued at a timely point of professional transition. Coaching targets outcomes that a client and/or their organization has deemed vital for their existing or anticipated future role. Goals for the coaching engagement are often designed in the context of a formal Leadership Program, or can be individualised based around the results of a leadership assessment or feedback from a recent performance review. In other instances, a client may have an acute awareness of the gaps in their leadership abilities and seek out coaching as a way to more swiftly and strategically develop their capabilities.
Coaching Works:
For A Leader” by John O’Donohue
May you have the grace and wisdom
To act kindly, learning
To distinguish between what is
Personal and what is not.May you be hospitable to criticism.
May you never put yourself at the center of things.
May you act not from arrogance but out of service.
May you work on yourself,
Building up and refining the ways of your mind.May those who work for you know
You see and respect them.May you learn to cultivate the art of presence
In order to engage with those who meet you.When someone fails or disappoints you,
May the graciousness with which you engage
Be their stairway to renewal and refinement.May you treasure the gifts of the mind
Through reading and creative thinking
So that you continue as a servant of the frontier
Where the new will draw its enrichment from the
old,
And may you never become a functionary.May you know the wisdom of deep listening,
The healing of wholesome words,
The encouragement of the appreciative gaze,
The decorum of held dignity,
The springtime edge of the bleak question.May you have a mind that loves frontiers
So that you can evoke the bright fields
That lie beyond the view of the regular eye.May you have good friends
To mirror your blind spots.May leadership be for you
A true adventure of growth.
