A well-known adage tells us that it is lonely at the top. For Executive Leaders every action, every meeting, every speech is watched, analyzed and criticized. Couple this microscope with the pressure for leaders to juggle the ever transforming issues from diverse team member structures to fast-paced innovation and the weight of new policies and regulations.
Since an executive’s job is to drive results through people their daily actions have a direct and far-reaching effect on the organization’s performance. Knowing what individual traits drive these actions allows leaders to better serve themselves, their peers, and their teams. And they need to be clear on the difference between feedback, coaching and mentoring.
Drawing from participant experiences and established models, we will discuss these terms and how they work together. An essential outcome will be clarity about the difference between EVALUATION and DEVELOPMENT.
