Advance Leadership and Coaching

PROLOGUE : Leaders and Leadership Challenges

A competent leader in a growing organisation of today, is constantly faced with choices that stand diametrically opposite. Most of these dilemmas and scenarios keep the leader so busy and pre-occupied that the 'path' usually gets compromised. Most common of these situations are:

Growth of the organization Vs Team Building/Mentoring
Day-to-Day firefighting Vs Consolidating and Reinforcing
Reactive Marketplace Responsiveness to the Proactive Energy Building
Participation Vs Delegation


The two ends of the spectrum are defined by the Anima-Animus' energies. These energies are the dual reality of human experience and manifest in form of :

'Control' Vs 'Nurturance',
'Success' Vs 'Failure or Losing'
'Aggression' Vs 'Passivity'
'Action' Vs 'Observation'
'Activity' Vs 'Receptivity'


Our approach to ADVANCE LEADERSHIP AND COACHING:

The Spring Listening Room Advanced Executive Coaching for leaders focuses attention of leaders in understanding the diversity of human personalities and having a holistic approach in mentoring their organization.

Our recommendation is that the leadership participants should go through the advanced executive coaching for at least a period of 6 Months.

This program is based on "review and reflection" sessions. These are proactive sessions; releasing active and positive energy in understanding their own functioning in the organization. This process helps them to develop panorama and futuristic vision and also let go the existing 'short-cut- methods. The old patterns are reviewed and observed to bring about long lasting change in the leadership process. The various areas that are discussed in the sessions are :

  • Business Orientation - Knowledge, Thinking and Instincts
  • Action Orientation - Task Skills
  • Change Orientation - Flexibility
  • People Orientation - Affection Needs & Inclusion

Total training and coaching hours - (12 sessions of duration of 2.5 - 3 hrs and assignment evaluation).
