Transitioning is challenging. Be it from child to adolescent, adolescent to teenager, teenager to adult. Similarly, it is often difficult to transition well from the practice of management to that of leadership. This happens either when your company has grown and different forms of leadership are required, or key staff are promoted. It is often hard to let go of ‘what was’, as these practices may have worked well.
In addition, a degree of proficiency and competence evolves through learning and making mistakes. The questions leaders often ask themselves in this situation is: ” if things are working well at this level, surely they work will at another, so why change?”
Regardless, it’s critical for a leader to let go of ‘what was’ and to embrace ‘what is needed now’ if they are to grow and be a leader of vision and impact. A leader who others want to trust and work with.
Throughout the coaching process we will challenge you to identify and positively transform past working practices, and embrace new ways of leading and coaching your people.
