The Leader As A Coach with Jim Grant, Leadership Development Consultant
When was the last time you spoke with your boss about your development as a leader? Are you making the difference you want to make? Are you taking action in direct accordance with your vision, values, mission and goals?
To be successful in the traditional hierarchical model meant developing yourself in a profession (eg law, accounting), as a technician (eg electrician, hairdresser), or a functional expert (eg engineering, marketing) and once you proved yourself, although it was never a guarantee, you’d rise up the ladder to be a leader.
As a leader, your job was to direct employees who understand how the business works and develop them in the skills needed to succeed in their area of expertise.
In the game of diversity and inclusion, this model of leadership, based on power, privilege and control, is null and void. Let’s talk about one of the new and emerging principles of the leader of the 21st century, the role of the leader as a coach.
When we talk about coaching, we mean something more than building someone’s personal or professional skills. While that’s important and vital, it’s temporary.
When we talk about the real benefits of coaching —the kind that creates a true learning organization, we’re talking about a process that is ongoing, one that can be executed by those inside the organization, within teams and across function.
Join me for a chat with Jim Grant, a 22 year veteran in leadership development and author of The Leader as a Coach, about what I believe to be a direct access into a new model of leadership - a model that gives support, guidance and mentoring; a model that helps employees leverage their strengths and adapt to constantly changing environments in ways that unlocks their high-performance capabilities.
Jim has been working with senior leaders in many of Australia’s and overseas top organisations for 30 years. Prior to co-founding his first consultancy business, he worked at the Executive table of several Global Companies in People & Culture as well as leading projects in Operations, Health & Safety, Business & Strategy and Mergers and Acquisitions, at times responsible for over 6,000 heads in businesses worth over AUD$6B.
