Executive coaching with EI

Because Executives with Emotional Intelligence are twice as performant as emotionally unintelligent Executives, we are asked to combine the goal-focused advantages of traditional executive coaching with directive EI development to develop the attitudes, skills and habits of high performing leaders and managers:

Clients ask us to coach individuals where:

• there is a need for a bespoke leadership/management coaching programme for the development (and maintenance) of high performing individuals.
• the organisation wants a management or leadership population to have a greater alignment of attitudes and behaviour with competency frameworks or value frameworks – see here.
• the role requires excellence in managing relationships.
• the strategy requires greater flexibility in leadership style.
• the organisation needs help managing the emotional components of change.
• the leadership team is not leading by example in role-modelling the behaviours the organisation needs to see at all levels of leadership and management.
• the Executive is not aware of themselves and EI coaching (possibly with a 360-degree EI measure) can help raise awareness of the impact of their attitudes and behaviour.
• the talent population need grooming as part of the succession plan.
• leaders or managers need extra support in their first three months in a new role.
• traditional executive coaching may not achieve desired results as quickly (i.e. where using EI will identify barriers to performance before coaching begins – with the directive coaching tools to then develop behaviour and attitudes accordingly).

Clients ask us to coach teams where:

• there is a need for a bespoke solution for the development (and maintenance) of high performing teams.
• the team is underperforming because of an unhealthy culture of spurious harmony.
• the team is not performing because of unhealthy conflict.
• the organisation needs a more accountable culture in the team.
• the organisation needs less silo’d attitudes and more trust and support in the team.
• Senior teams need a performance coaching programme designed to get them to shared goals.
