AAR has at its disposal the leading edge and comprehensive tools and methodologies to make Management Development as effective as possible. In the area of Executive Coaching, we provide a practical, yet broad model / framework within which Coaching experiences, tools, models and methods are used to achieve the organisation's and professional's objectives and outcomes. Our overall model focuses on three key elements required for an outstanding quality professional:
Maximising Potential
Exceeding the Performance expectations
Aligning and enhancing Behaviours (including alignment to organizational culture, ability to demonstrate superior personal leadership and facilitate outstanding interpersonal relationships).
Key metrics we then use to measure the effectiveness of Executive Coaching is “Return on Expectations” – where expectations are established and agreed in first session and are consequently rated by the Executive (and if relevant by his / her peers and management).
The key characteristics of our Coaching approach are to:
Be Solution focused
Facilitate Self-awareness
Provide clarity and accountability around goal-setting and goal achievement
Be action-oriented, as well as towards sustainable behavioural change
Focus on Emotional Intelligence
Promote Communication as a way of leveraging one's own ability
Align individuals with their innate strengths, talents and abilities
Assist Executives to achieve to their organizational potential
The above approach is based on the essential elements of “Positive Psychology”.
The following quote summarises our philosophy in regard to Executive Coaching: “Coaching enables people to access and use the wealth of experience, skills, expertise and intuition that we all have. It allows people to find individual and creative solutions to the situations they find themselves in at work.” (Grant & Greene, 2003 ) |
