Leadership Development & Coaching

Talent Management > Develop > Leadership Development & Coaching

Managers are often faced with significant challenges and obstacles. Overwhelmed by competing priorities, stretched by role changes, and constrained by time, managers need effective advice and increased focus to cope with today’s complex and fast-changing business environment.

Unfortunately, only few managers receive effective support and direction when making major career changes, overcoming personal performance issues, and undertaking business strategies. Without proper guidance, managers often lack the focus needed to effectively execute the most important work priorities. Consequently, personal and organisational performance suffers.

The role of an effective coach is to assist managers in identifying the leadership competencies that will set them up for greater success within the business, and to work with managers in order to learn and implement new and different leadership skills over time.

Personal coaching supports managers to:

• Prioritise and attain personal and career aspirations
• Be confident in their ability to overcome personal derailers
• Work effectively in complex and ambiguous situations
• Be able to effectively transition to more complex and senior roles

How do we do it?

• Before the first session, we invite you to take a couple of psychological assessments
• We also invite you to review your career goals and key business challenges in order to focus your thoughts around your future direction and assist you in targeting two to three leadership competencies on which to focus the coaching sessions
• During the coaching sessions, we will analyse situations, develop practical plans and define clear actions to achieve the defined goals.
• To overcome geographical barriers, we offer coaching face-to-face, on the telephone or though an advanced web-based platform.

Our world renowned assessment solutions and reports assist you to make informed career development or succession planning decisions by offering objective and accurate information regarding leadership/management styles, team work, influencing styles, problem solving style, career interests etc. We specialise in designing cost effective psychological based assessments, generating tailored reports and coaching change leaders.

 The Hogan Development reports put the power of personality assessment in the hands of those using the inventories. They have been specially crafted to minimise the need for expert involvement in understanding the results of our inventories, and provide important insights for anyone interested in developing to their full career potential.

1. Hogan Develop

This series includes the Career, Manage, and Compass reports. They provide high-impact development information on the behavioural tendencies likely to affect job performance. Career uses Hogan Personality Inventory results to identify strengths, shortcomings, and includes detailed developmental tips. Manage also uses Hogan Personality Inventory results to highlight the most effective techniques for managing an employee. Career uses Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory results to outline the occupational significance of a person's core values and to provide effective career planning information. Combined, these reports are the fastest, most cost-effective tools available for "on-boarding" new employees or assisting current employees with their development.

2. Hogan Lead

This series is ideal for developing leaders and is an essential ingredient in identifying and growing future leaders. It provides an in-depth evaluation of leadership competencies, potential career derailers, and individual values. The Potential Report outlines an individual's day-to-day leadership style including behavioural descriptions, leadership competencies, and comprehensive development recommendations. The Challenge Report predicts career-derailing behaviours that can be the result of high stress or challenging work situations. The Values Report explores a person’s core values and goals which ultimately dictate a leader’s emphasis on working with others and the type of environment a leader will create. The report predicts individual fit with a career, team, and organization. The Coaching Report is a self-guided, comprehensive development planning tool. It integrates the information from the Potential, Challenge, and Values Reports into a five-step planning process. By completing this process, a person produces a powerful, personal development plan designed to foster professional growth.
