#MindsetToolsetSkillset
I believe a simple shift is at the heart of future Learning and Leadership.
For decades we’ve trained leaders in the skills and traits we want from them (Skillset), then provided the resources to deploy them (Toolset) but questioned their commitment when it fizzles out (Mindset).
By flipping the approach, it becomes much clearer... Get everyone thinking the same way about what we want to achieve and what we want that to feel like (Mindset). Then co-create the responsibilities, accountabilities and measures that will help us to monitor if it’s working (Toolset). Then... coach and develop the skills required to achieve all of this (Skillset).
The Coach Approach
The demands on leaders have never been so high; the pressures of business results, performance, growth, and survival are intense… as are the growing expectations of our workforces who now expect so much more from their employers and leaders.
Throw into the mix that we’re all different; needing different approaches and support, at different times… Aaaaargh… who would want to be a leader?!
It’s OK… we say… be a Coach! But, the leaders have no time, and are too busy managing performance and results to even try… so push back at yet ANOTHER role for them to adopt.
Help is at hand… help that encourages us to redefine the relationship between performance and results.
Help that prioritises the benefits of 'Conversation' over 'Communication'.
Help that develops a ‘Coach Approach’ to leadership that inspires people towards performance, rather than simply waiting for them at the finish line to measure it.
