Join BizLibrary's Libby Mullen, as she uncovers key elements of training you can implement to develop leaders that are able to create measurable differences in performance through coaching.
You will learn:
- The difference between coaching and mentoring
- How to assess, match and apply key coaching skills to align with specific employees and situations
- How to develop the most effective coaching models for your organization
- Skills development exercises to include in your training design
A "coaches’ toolkit" that includes emerging competencies for managers and leaders

Developing the Coaching Skills of Your Managers and Leaders [Webinar 04.13.16]BizLibrary
What are the obligations of managers? The answer to this question varies from organization to organization based upon a number of factors such as industry, culture, department, skill level of the team, etc. Regardless of the organization, at the very heart of this question lies a dilemma. Managers may have to perform well, depending upon a variety of situations at various places along a continuum, ranging from ensuring employees comply with established processes and procedures at one end, to career development and skill improvement towards the other end. Who’s to say which of the outcomes is more or less important? In fact, we’d probably agree that the outcomes suggested by such a continuum are all important depending upon the situation. With so many possible outcomes and objectives legitimately competing for our managers’ attention, are there a set of uniform skills or competencies we can use to guide our managers ongoing training and development? In this webinar you'll learn:
Why coaching skills are important for your managers, leaders and organization
What is coaching and how to apply key skills to align with specific employees and situations
An overview of traditional coaching models and what you can do to improve them
How we can get managers to make time to coach
A "coaches toolkit" that includes emerging competencies for managers and leaders
The key difference between coaching and mentoring

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
1. Can the addition of
Executive Coaching to the MBA
increase the transformational
experience of the graduate?
Michael Cowen
June 2010
1
2. Introduction
• Project and Programme Manager (PMP/Prince2)
• 22+ years experience in many different industries and government
• Worked globally, NZ, UK, Australia, Hong Kong, Latin America, Middle East.
• IT focus, however, re-positioning to Strategy/Change during the past two years
• Passion for building high performing teams!
• MBA 2010, SBS
2
5. Shortfalls of the MBA
• Evidence that supply is now outstripping demand and
not as elite programme or as valuable as it used to be
(Connolly, 1997)
• Some scholars have been severely critical of the MBA
model, faculty, administrators, students, recruiters,
media and business. Mintzburg (2005), Pfeffer (2005),
Bennis & O’Toole (2005), and Ghoshal, (2005).
• My observations are that the MBA is modeled around
intensive and rapid surface learning, but can a student
be involved in deeper or achievement level learning
outcomes? Real transformation?
5
6. Signs of improvement…
• Arguably the MBA has addressed many of the criticisms of the 90's such
including leadership and entrepreneurship skills, increasing teamwork through
group assignments and bringing in the global perspective.
• In a study where employers and graduates were asked about MBA direction the
core courses were endorsed by both, however, leadership and managing skills
such as ethics, facilitation, emotional stability and coaching were sort after by
employers and not ranked by graduates as important. This tends to support the
technical focus of many graduates looking for their next move in business or
career (Louw, Bosch, and Venter, 2001), rather than a transformational focus.
6
7. Neelankavil (1994) posits that
'The ideal MBA [graduate] would
be, in short a, a well-educated
and well-rounded individual who
could tackle the myriad of
problems faced by managers in
all business' (p. 38).

8. Within the MBA Context
where is the Research
Focus?
• Standard MBA (SBS: Managing &
Learning Manager courses.) arguably
lacking progress here, and will be
the focus of this research
• SBS strong on these first
three learning outcomes….
Core subjects

10. Executive Coaching
• Helping relationship formed between a client who has managerial authority and
responsibility in an organisation and a consultant who uses a wide variety of
behavioural techniques and methods to help the client achieve a mutually
identified set of goals to improve his or her professional performance and
personal satisfaction and, consequently, to improve the effectiveness of the
client’s organisation within a formally defined coaching agreement
(Kilburg and Hopkins, 2000, p.17)
• Facilitating Positive Change through Improving Thinking (Rock. D, 2009)
10
12. My Executive Coaching Experience
• I received coaching during the MBA (apart of) from Jan 09-July 09. 1 Hour every
two weeks, over the phone. The Coach used Results Coaching System with
some NLP.
• I wrote my MBA Project on the Experience.
• Ultimately, helped me as a leader. Here are some adjectives that help describe
my experience:
Powerful, Transformational, Focused, Deep, Unsettling, Emotional Learning,
a personal buzz!
12
13. Why Results Coaching System?
• Was successful for me.
• I have invested in understanding it (MBA Dissertation)
• I have invested in training in it.
• I am using it in workplace Executive Coaching
• It has some science to back up its claims (www.neuroleadership.org)

transformational change.,
C. ethnographical and qualitative research to evaluate Executive Coaching Performance &
Benefits for MBA Students from the SBS, their bosses, partners
D. grounded theory research to develop the Executive Coaching Model appropriate for the
MBA
18
19. Research Importance

• Can bring about change in
the students/leaders
• Can bring improvements to
me as a coach
• Can create a new coaching
model specifically for the for
B School & HE.
Research Interest

19
20. Next Steps

sponsorship.
