Executive Leadership Coaching
By Dr. Marshall Goldsmith – World’s No.1 Leadership Thinker 2012 (HBR)
Marshall Goldsmith’s Stakeholder Centered Coaching approach has proven to help highly successful people make positive long-term change in leadership behavior through using a methodology that is highly effective and time efficient.
The Stakeholder Centered Coaching process guarantees measurable leadership change
The benefits of coaching are often couched in terms of whether executive feel that the process contributes both to the organization’s bottom line and to “making a difference” as a leader and organization. Legitimization of the coaching process implies demonstrating the benefits of executive coaching and by providing evidence indirectly versus direct intervention as might be the case with consulting.
As an advocate of stakeholder centered coaching, my Emotional Leader Coaching programs include many aspects of the Stakeholder Centered Coaching (SCC) approach, which is based on an empirically-tested method of executive coaching developed by Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, a leading authority in the field. Marshall’s straightforward and highly effective process has consistently delivered successful results for many leaders in a broad spectrum of professions. The focus of SCC is behavioral change. By identifying specific behaviors to improve and choosing concrete methods of change, stakeholder centered coaching supports leaders in making positive and measurable behavior improvements.
Stakeholder Centered Coaching differs from other behavioral coaching models in that :
Coaching is one way of creating positively directed change, or learning, which helps individuals to develop their potential and the organization to develop sustainability in an increasingly complex and fast paced world.
Coaching is a structured process over a finite period of time that is evidence based and psychologically grounded whereby one individual helps another to perform, learn and achieve at a superior level through:
Coaching is not
Individual one-on-one performance based coaching (PBC) has been identified as the best approach for individuals to enhance their emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills. Experience alone does not necessarily ensure accurate learning or development; in this way coaching is critical to behavioral change.
Coaching can provide individuals with an opportunity to think differently about the way they conduct themselves within their organization, identify themes and patterns in what they do that are habitual or self-limiting, and to challenge and question assumptions about what they suppose works for them and to recognize what doesn’t.
Performance Based Coaching makes use of evidence-based indicators to help improve an individual’s emotional intelligence, emotional knowledge, and interpersonal skills. PBC follows a proven model for behavioral change. It involves an evidence-based outcome focused coaching approach, combining:-
Emotional Leader Coaching makes use of evidence-based indicators of emotional intelligence in performance-based coaching. Additional coaching of the way you respond to events through behaviors, via cognitive behavioral restructuring, develops your personality and interpersonal skills. The benefits of this process can be seen clearly by comparing results of psychometric testing at the commencement and completion of the emotional leadership coaching program.
My current and recent clients include senior level executives in financial services, banking, global branding consultancy, global resources industry, transportation, and manufacturing.
The Emotional Leader System (TELS) is a simple doctrine or system of learning to develop emotional skills for positive, measurable, long-term behavioral change, applying your emotional intelligence.The Emotional Leader System specifically covers: understanding emotional style, increasing emotional knowledge for use in problem solving and decision-making, improving mood and job performance, developing self-management, and communicating effectively for increased relationship satisfaction, productivity and financial success.
In The Emotional Leader System I coach you using stakeholder centered coaching practices learned from my mentor, Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, perhaps the most well respected leading behavioral coach in the world. And that always guarantees increased success and financial wealth!
There is a Science of Emotional Leadership – Emotional laws of personal and professional success. The Emotional Leader System is the essence of this teaching.
The inspiration for The Emotional Leader System is drawn from principles encapsulated in the EASEQuadrant Model, an evidenced-based best practices model of emotional leadership developed by Dr. Gosling, drawn from scientifically researched emotional intelligence (EI) constructs and cognitive-behavioral insights.
Leadership is about building a feeling of long-term trust in relationships enabling the leader to influence others. Emotional leadership is choosing to behave with emotional intelligence; learning and applying emotionally intelligent behavior to build long-term trust in your business, professional and social relationships. As you exercise emotional leadership in your dealings with others, they will be drawn to you and follow your aspirations; your vision for a better life for you and for them. You will improve your level of self-understanding and greater effectiveness in your personal and professional life.
The Emotional Leader System Coaching specifically targets behavioral change by:
The purpose of my coaching is to guide you, the leader, to increase your emotional skills so that you choose the right goal —the right behavior to change. Your goal could be an increase in personal financial wealth or an increase in your contribution to an organization, or both. It could be a personal desire to head up a charitable initiative or to be a better partner, husband or wife. The benefits from carefully following the emotional leadership development process in Executive Coaching are immediate, observable, measurable and enduring.
When you incorporate this knowledge in your emotional leader habits it will give you the ability to be extraordinary and find clarity, purpose, happiness and abundance in your life. Emotional leader habits will empower you change annoying behavior and create vastly improved relationships and unlimited wealth with EASE!
Leaders who understand how to influence and persuade masses of people are orchestrating themselves to develop their emotional leader habits. And these habits will help position themselves at the head of a growing clan or tribe passionate about being completely aware of how they function emotionally.
Individuals and business owners that get this are making more money. They’re making their life easier for themselves and their teams. But most of all — they’re increasing their financial wealth by choosing emotionally intelligent behavior over controlling behavior.
WHY EMOTIONS? DOESN’T THAT HAVE TO DO WITH WEAKNESS AND LACK OF CONTROL?
The Emotional Leader System gives you the most subtle form of inner power. But it is not just for your emotional management. TELS empowers you to manage the emotions of others to attain influence and real-world results in every area of your life. Everything in life is about how you feel. If you feel mostly positive emotions, that’s a non-problem status. Get on and enjoy your life and the fruits of your lifetime achievements. But if you feel mostly negative emotions, and many people do, then these feelings will directly impact on your daily ability to function – be it in the home, community or workplace. That’s when TELS can be your preferred system to strengthen emotional leader habits!
For many people their one goal is a to have happy, harmonious family life where parents, children and extended family are engaged with each other. When you are happy in your home life you will not be bringing stress to work!
For other people, their primary goal is to get money. Lots of money! Everyone wants to be wealthy. Without money you can’t move! If you have money you can have whatever you want, do whatever you want, go whereever you want. Maybe you want a happy and secure family and the best education for your children, or you want a cruising holiday, or be secure knowing your living expenses and insurance policies are taken care of? But if you have lots of money – that is, you are financially wealthy – you can give away your money to others and help them to be financially wealthy.
So there’s nothing wrong with being financially wealthy is there? It means that once your family is secure, you can give away generous amounts of money to a noble cause and help empower others. My wife and I are doing this through our charitable initiative – FijiLIFE Foundation.
Emotional health can bring you financial wealth. With sound emotional leadership you are sowing positive, long-term, trusting relationships – Just what you need for building effective relationships in your family, regular employment, professional careers and business organizations to make money to become financially wealthy. You are following me here?
So you can see that emotional leadership leads to emotional health and is intrinsically tied to financial wealth, causing people to be successful in their careers and their business profits to flourish. And emotional wealth belongs to financial wealth by its very nature. YOU ARE FREE TO ENJOY BOTH! TELS is a system of learning lasting behavioral change to increase your emotional health and financial wealth!
[Leaders we admire] all build relationships and inspire us to give our best. Even though managers can be leaders it is not their managerial talent that inspires you to think of them as leaders. Usually, it is an interpersonal skill, a behavior that is expressed in such a way that it elicits our choice to follow, to be influenced, to admire unselfconsciously.” – John Nirenberg (2003).
I hope that you are extremely successful, that life is all you’ve imagined it could be, and that you have emotional freedom and an invincible love of life. I truly do!
If, on the other hand, you’re wanting some guidance to recognize, use, understand, and manage emotion and strengthen behaviors that may be stopping you from being where you want to be, let me assure you that the seeds of greatness are within you to be manifested now.
How can I know this? Because the seeds of greatness are all around us. It is simply up to you to first believe that, and then to take the right action steps that will move you to the next level of where ever it is you want to go. Emotion management and behavior change are perhaps the most vital parts of that process.
