Introducing a New One-Day
Skill-Building ProgramBrought to you by The Leadership Development Institute at Eckerd College

Coaching Skills for Leaders
Imagine a leader who is a skilled strategist as well as an
outstanding tactician, a leader who has in-depth knowledge and experience in
his industry and functional area. Let's imagine he is also personable,
even charismatic, and displays a high level of personal and professional
integrity. Are these competencies enough to make him a leader of choice,
or to ensure that he takes his organization to the next level? Not in the
absence of coaching skills. Organizations are increasingly recognizing
coaching skills as a critical leadership competency; coaching skills are
crucial in helping leaders build bench strength, enhance employee motivation, and
develop true followership.
During this one-day, skill-building seminar, you will
- Consider
various perspectives on coaching
- Learn
a model for effective coaching
- Receive
feedback on your coaching approach
- Build
coaching skills that will help you become a stronger leader
Special Feature
In the second half of the day, class members will break
up into small groups to participate in facilitated, videotaped "real
plays." In each real play, one class
member (the "coachee") will share a real-life work issue, and another class
member will coach him or her on that issue. Each class member will get to serve as coach
in at least one real play and coachee in at least one other. A trained
facilitator will lead the small group in a review of the videotaped sessions. The benefits of the experience to each
participant will be twofold: 1) all class
members will receive feedback on their individual coaching strengths and
weaknesses, and build a foundation for improving their coaching skills; and 2)
because they are bringing real-life work issues to the real plays, they should
benefit from being coached on issues of actual, practical importance to them.
