The Coaching Room specialises in management coaching for Executives, Managers and their organisations in Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Management Coaching and Training is distinct from Leadership Coaching and forms part of our Executive Coaching and Training programme.
The Coaching Room has earned a reputation for offering the most comprehensive and effective coaching for managers in Australia, because our Coaching Essentials and Coaching Genius programs (ratified by The Meta Coach Foundation) are standard components of organisational management coaching and training, all around the world.
The Management Problem
Often managers get caught up in the doing part of their roles; managing the day-to-day tasks, working on achieving performance outcomes - the ‘hard numbers’ (the management part of the executive’s role). This leaves little to no time to focus on things like the communicating of the organisation’s leadership vision, empowering your people to execute the vision, the nurturing of trust; the soft things that affect performance and ultimately, the results.
These soft things, your way of being and relating, your values and self-efficacy (the people stuff), are the main things that impact your organisation’s effectiveness, as well as the hard numbers.
It’s the soft stuff that’s really the hard stuff that you are looking to manage.
We have all heard about ‘soft skills’, but what isn’t well known is how your way of being, coupled with your primary management skills, actually affects the quality of your results.
As a manager you will often be too close to the action or too caught up in the action to objectively understand how your current way of being is affecting your people and your results.
As a manager, you cannot maximise how effectively you manage your people, until you learn to focus on both your primary management skills and your current way of being, from an objective rather than subjective perspective. This is exactly what our coaching process will enable for you, as you form your new way of being and doing as an executive manager.
Executive Management Defined
Management is about ensuring that your people have the correct systems, processes and tools to perform. Managing is mostly about planning, implementation and measurement. Management is about managing and measuring ‘what is’.
Management is also about understanding, tasking, supporting and valuing others. For it is through others’ performance, that you can become a highly effective manager.
Finally, managers are responsible for communicating the organisation’s vision for others to follow, by co-creating, measuring and monitoring the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that keep us all on track.
As a manger that’s effective, you need to be able to Parent, Partner and Prescribe in order to empower your people to achieve the results, to realise the vision and intentions of the organisation.
Again, managing is not leading. Management is about ensuring that your people have the correct systems, processes and tools to execute and implement the organisation’s strategy and vision.
