Schedule

April 7 - 9, 2010 @ Federal Executive Institute, Charlottesville, VA $3145
Overview
The most successful organizations today are the ones that get the most from each member of the team. Leaders in these organizations help their colleagues discover and develop untapped potential, then assume increased responsibility and accountability. Unleashing talent, expanding ownership, and improving performance in others is called coaching. Coaching is a different, more empowering way to lead. It requires new ways of relating to others, new behaviors, and different skills. Coaches help organizations improve by seeing people in terms of future potential, not past performance.
You'll learn coaching skills through practice and feedback throughout the program. Interactive discussions and demonstrations are complemented by practice, observation, and feedback in small groups. Individual self-assessment exercises round out the learning approach. Then you¿ll complete a Personal Coaching Action Plan outlining the steps you need to take to adopt coaching as part of your leadership style after you leave FEI. You will have the tools to improve your organization by helping the people in it.
