Coach your project team to sustained performance at work

Description

From the author of the 4 Steps of Powerful Coaching, Create a Resilient Project Management and Delivery Culture, and Strengths in the Workplace,

there are two clear concepts that you need to take away from this course. You will learn how to refine and prioritize actionable goals for yourself, and you will learn to develop those around you.

You will learn a simple structure for setting ambitious, achievable, and actionable goals, applying this to yourself and others. With clear, specific, measurable, aligned, realistic and time-boxed goals (SMART), you can keep on track and learn how to confidently say no to others when it is a reactive distraction. To get to these smart goals, you need to Define them. Refine them. Map them. You need to be clear on what you want to achieve, validate the goal, brainstorm ways to get there, create a roadmap, get specific and act.

We will take a fresh look at the coaching model of defining the Goal, having a Reality check, brainstorming Options, selecting from the options and creating the Will to action. In other words, to apply the GROW model. We will explore the myriad ways you unconsciously apply the GROW model. Identifying how you use the model enables you to refine your overall effectiveness in those areas and many new ones.

Then, we will look at applying these concepts to your team members, and even at a team level, to clarify goals and manage your way to achieve them.

You become an enabler, encourager, and leader.

Accelerating your team’s growth, commitment, and performance is a promise we can keep when you apply yourself to the practices in the course and develop a mindset of relational leadership. Taking on a project team demands ‘rapid time to performance’ – little time for a gentle bonding ramp-up. You must Engage with each person and the team at a deeper level than you might think the old-style ‘hierarchical’ leader might. Then, Enable, Encourage (give Courage), and give feedback regularly.

The course takes a contemporary view on leadership to engage, empower, and encourage your temporary team to achieve great things. An approach that is becoming known as ‘Humble Leadership’, and a Generative model of growth that embraces the multi-faceted nature of every team as a unique entity composed of unique members.

Demonstrate leadership as a project manager as you engage with your team and individual members.

Apply what you learn every day.

Through deep dive walk through participative 'lectures', you will:

• Enhance your leadership impact

• Successful delivery of your projects

• Convert team potential to performance

• Increase the performance of your team

• Develop a Performance Improvement Plan for a team member or team.

An effective leader believes in the future success of the team members, and that entails believing that every individual starts with an 'A' because they are creative, resourceful, and whole.

Influential leaders believe they are creative, resourceful, and whole, seeking to become more effective leaders daily through exacting standards, ongoing development, and empathy with their team.

The project manager is not above the team. He or she is a team member with a different role and responsibility which includes helping them achieve maximum performance and that they all deliver the project objectives.

This effective project manager masters the art of self-management and coaching as their leadership style with both low-performers and high-potential performers.
