Executive leaders and senior-level managers have an overwhelming job: Not only are they charged with setting the direction for their organizations, but they also have to coordinate alignment with their teams and get commitment so that everyone in the group feels a mutual responsibility for their team’s success. Even in good times, when business is booming and employee engagement is high, leaders often feel like they’re drinking from a firehose. But in times of rapid change or disruption to existing business models, the responsibilities of a leader become all the more challenging.

How do you set a direction when the future is unclear? How do you coordinate alignment and commitment when team members are stretched thin and lack job security? How do you create a culture of innovation with limited resources? These are some of the dilemmas leaders encounter in periods of disruption. Yet in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous times, inspiring leaders are needed more than ever. Leaders at the peak usually have fewer trusted sounding boards. The pressures they face are unique; plus, their challenges are often confidential.

Committed to excellence and achieving desired results, Door Training and Consulting is helping organizations and individuals realize their full potential and sharpen their competitive edge. Being “people focused, strategically oriented and performance driven” we work closely with executives, new leaders, and high potentials to co-create engagement plans tailored to their specific needs and objectives.

Our Purpose

“To help successful leaders and high potentials achieve positive and measurable change in leadership behavior that is sustained, recognized and acknowledged by their Stakeholders”.

Our Coaching Values

We pledge to conduct our Coaching business and all interaction while upholding the following:

• Integrity: We uphold the highest standards for the coaching profession, demonstrating personal integrity while adhering to our purpose at all times.
• Excellence: We consistently support and challenge each other to become expert and masterful coach.
• Respect: We are inclusive and value the diversity and richness of our clients. We put people first, without compromising standards, policies and quality.
• Humility: We recognize imperfection, but always strive to improve; the best way to grow is through seeking first to understand others by listening openly to their feedback and criticism and working for shared success, not selfish recognition.
• Authenticity: We stay true to enduring beliefs, attitudes and behaviors that represent our own identity.

DOOR Training & Consulting offers a variety of personality assessments to help its clients become more self-aware and learn new ways to achieve personal and professional goals. Each assessment is a powerful developmental tool with a proven track record of helping leaders understand how their behaviors and preferences may impact their effectiveness.

Assessments may also be used together to provide a comprehensive picture of leadership as well as detailed and integrated feedback about individuals’ strengths and developmental opportunities on a range of leadership facets. They provide a safe, confidential, reliable and economical way for people to learn more about how they work, how they show up, and how they interact with others around them.

Our assessments provide a good starting place for Coaching as they offer a great opportunity for questions customized to a specific situation. Surprises in assessment results often lead to profound breakthroughs.

Our leadership coach is a Certified Assessor and Coach for the GLA360, EQ-i 2.0, and Hogan Assessment, each of which is available to our clients based on individual needs, goals and desires. We will administer the assessment and conduct a debrief afterward so our clients are equipped with the tools they need to go forth and develop realistic action plans.

In challenging business environments when company resources are under tight scrutiny, organizations prioritize coaching. That’s because in times of uncertainty, leaders are responsible for making strategic decisions that may change the course of their organizations, and coaching provides a laser-focused approach specifically targeted for these key people in the organization.

Leadership Coaching is the ultimate means in tailored leadership development. You work one-on-one with a world-class leadership coach on your goals and challenges, your personal strengths and any areas for further personal and professional growth. Together you create a strong and trusting partnership that enables you to improve and sustain your performance as a leader.

When to use Leadership Coaching

Executives and senior-level managers can attest to the saying that “change is the only constant in life.” But while change itself is predictable, the type of disruption it brings is not. From rapid technological innovations to the forced adoption of new work from-home strategies and virtual solutions, disruption often comes from unexpected directions.

For organizations to thrive, leaders must be able to embrace this change and adopt new roles, craft new identities, and find new meaning for themselves and those they lead. And as leaders find their footing in challenging environments, they need support, too.

During periods of massive change and severe disruption, there are few opportunities for leaders to step away, and merely wishing for adjustment won’t get them there. For executives to succeed in place, they require just-in-time support.

Leadership Coaching can be especially impactful for leaders in certain situations:

• preparing for future role or career changes
• taking on a new or different role
  
• accelerating personal development
  
• providing an objective and independent sounding board for senior leaders
  
• rewarding and retaining key staff

A Transparent Process that Guarantees Measurable Leadership Growth!

One of the biggest challenges faced by leaders today is NOT about understanding the practice of leadership. Rather, the biggest challenge is about leaders practicing their understanding of leadership in order to build effective processes that drive constructive leadership behavior for themselves and their organizations.

Our Purpose is “to help successful leaders and high potentials achieve positive and measurable change in leadership behavior that is sustained, recognized and acknowledged by their stakeholders.”

To meet our purpose we apply Marshall Goldsmith’s world-renown methodology called Stakeholder Centered Coaching (SCC).

Marshall’s highly successful approach to Leadership Coaching includes a strong emphasis on involvement of stakeholders, implementation of change and follow-through to measure growth in Leadership effectiveness. In the end the only thing that counts is Leadership growth i.e. Leadership (behavior) effectiveness on the job as perceived by stakeholders.

As Marshall puts it: “Leadership Change and Coaching are simple but not easy!“

The Stakeholder Centered Coaching (SCC) Process

Steps:

1. Determine 2-3 areas for leadership growth
Using several leadership assessments, the leader selects 2-3 leadership behavior areas for growth important to the leader and to the organization.

2. Seek feedforward suggestion from stakeholders
The leader selects stakeholders from amongst their boss, direct reports and peers. Each month, the leader asks each person for their "feedforward" suggestions on how they may improve their results from the two pre-determined leadership growth areas.

3. Implement the action plan
Based on the feedforward suggestions, the leader creates his action plan with the assistance of the coach

4. Make Change Visible
Each month, the leader implements their action plan and demonstrates to the stakeholders through their actions that they are working hard to make change visible and become a more effective leader in the two selected change areas.

5. Review Progress
On a quarterly basis, the coach checks in with stakeholders to review their perceptions of the leader's effectiveness in the 3 areas of leadership growth. The leader reviews the Stakeholder report. This quarterly report becomes a key document that underpins the guarantee of measurable leadership growth for the leader and the organization.

The SCC Benefits

✓ Sustainability of changed leadership behaviors and habits once leaders have been coached for 9-12 months
✓ Stakeholder involvement enables team and organizational cultural change
✓ Time efficient as the leadership growth process is integrated with stakeholder interactions on the job
✓ Measurable perceived leadership effectiveness with a > 95% success rate
✓ Guaranteed Leadership Growth where our quarterly Leadership Growth Progress Review links to the measurement of a leader's growth

For C-Suite Leaders:

✓ Improve team culture and performance
✓ Strengthen the leadership brand
✓ Open up the opportunity for senior leader advancement by ensuring there is an adequate supply of high potential successors

For HR Directors:

✓ Implement a proven leadership coaching process that delivers guaranteed tangible, measurable leadership growth
✓ Implement a proven, repeatable leadership growth process
✓ Enhance the HR Value proposition by improving leadership bench-strength

For Leadership Participants:

✓ Determine what it takes to go to the next level
✓ Understand and overcome current leadership bottlenecks

The SCC Proven Results

A key success factor behind Stakeholder Centered Coaching is that the process of leadership change shifts from the classroom and into the work environment where stakeholders play a starring role. Stakeholder suggestions for behavioral change, together with their perceptions of the executive's quarterly progress in several predetermined areas, become key components of a leader's path to growth and effectiveness.

The true test of leadership growth is through change that is sustained, recognized and acknowledged by stakeholders in the workplace. After all, perception is reality.

These principles are borne out in a study of 11,000 business leaders in 6 multinational companies across 4 continents, where it was concluded that 95% of leaders who consistently applied the Stakeholder Centered Coaching process measurably improved their leadership effectiveness.
