(CLP) Programs
Appleton Greene corporate training programs are all process-driven. They are used as vehicles to implement tangible business processes within clients’ organizations, together with training, support and facilitation during the use of these processes. Corporate training programs are therefore implemented over a sustainable period of time, that is to say, between 1 year (incorporating 12 monthly workshops), and 4 years (incorporating 48 monthly workshops). Your program information guide will specify how long each program takes to complete. Each monthly workshop takes 6 hours to implement and can be undertaken either on the client’s premises, an Appleton Greene serviced office, or online via the internet. This enables clients to implement each part of their business process, before moving onto the next stage of the program and enables employees to plan their study time around their current work commitments. The result is far greater program benefit, over a more sustainable period of time and a significantly improved return on investment.
Appleton Greene uses standard and bespoke corporate training programs as vessels to transfer business process improvement knowledge into the heart of our clients’ organizations. Each individual program focuses upon the implementation of a specific business process, which enables clients to easily quantify their return on investment. There are hundreds of established Appleton Greene corporate training products now available to clients within customer services, e-business, finance, globalization, human resources, information technology, legal, management, marketing and production. It does not matter whether a client’s employees are located within one office, or an unlimited number of international offices, we can still bring them together to learn and implement specific business processes collectively. Our approach to global localization enables us to provide clients with a truly international service with that all important personal touch. Appleton Greene corporate training programs can be provided virtually or locally and they are all unique in that they individually focus upon a specific business function. All (CLP) programs are implemented over a sustainable period of time, usually between 1-4 years, incorporating 12-48 monthly workshops and professional support is consistently provided during this time by qualified learning providers and where appropriate, by Accredited Consultants.
Executive summary
Coaching Leaders
Today’s executive leaders increasingly seek to develop leaders as intentionally as they seek to develop and train managers. Managers monitor projects, process, and systems. They supervise people. They analyze and report. Leaders do different things. They instill vision, inspiration, and empowerment in people. They engage, challenge, and develop people. This work requires a very different skill set than that of managers. The Coaching Leaders Program addresses this need by teaching leaders to coach those leaders they are striving to develop.
Two significant leadership theories continue today to provide a foundation for leadership coaching: Self-Determination Theory and Transformational Leadership Theory. The focus of the former is on the fundamental human desire for autonomy, competence, and relatedness, whereas the latter – simply put – distinguishes leadership from management. Coaching Leaders focuses heavily on these two leadership tenets because we train leaders to create an environment where their teams can experience self-determination. The act of management alone cannot achieve this. Coaching is the most powerful tool to promote self-determination, and it is one of the primary behaviors of transformational leaders. This program trains leaders to differentiate between managing, directing, monitoring, supervising, telling, etc. and the core discipline of coaching.
Coaching within organizations has become more accessible to a wider range of individuals, extending beyond top executives to include mid-level managers. Companies have come to recognize the value of cultivating coaching skills in their leaders to cultivate a more inclusive, supportive, and high-performing organizational culture. Many companies invest significant portions of their training and development budgets on external leadership coaches. However, the downsides of hiring external leadership coaches include higher costs and the limitations for creating a coaching “culture” from the outside. Consequently, training programs for internal coaches are seeing a significant increase.
Technology integration in coaching is becoming increasingly prevalent. Coaching sessions are now more accessible than ever, thanks to the use of digital platforms. The rapid advancement of technology has been greatly influenced by the widespread adoption of remote work due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, technology is the platform – not the skill set. Armed with the principles taught in Coaching Leaders, your leaders can coach effectively, regardless of the communications platform used.
Training leaders to coach effectively is much more than a value-add. It provides competitive advantage for those companies who invest in it. There is now an abundance of longitudinal research that points to the evidence that coaching increases organizational performance in many ways. As per the International Coach Federation, the global coaching industry reached a staggering value of $4.5 billion in 2022, showcasing substantial investment. According to a survey conducted by the Human Capital Institute and the International Coach Federation, a significant majority of organizations with robust coaching cultures have reported above-average revenue compared to their peers. Numerous empirical studies have shown the relationship between coaching and key indicators like retention, productivity, engagement, effective decision-making, conflict resolution, and more. To seize the opportunities illuminated by this research, Coaching Leaders is designed to include researched content taught in major credentialing entities like the International Coach Federation and The Center for Credentialing and Education.
Coaching is invaluable in ensuring that leaders are well-equipped with the necessary skills, with a particular focus on emotional intelligence, cross-cultural communication, and virtual team leadership. As an illustration, Self-Determination Theory suggests that employees desire a strong sense of connection, identity, and relatedness with both the mission of their organization and their leaders. Achieving such connection is becoming ever more difficult as we lose human touch and emotional connection with the rise of virtual and remote work.
Coaching Leaders infuses training in leadership and training in coaching to equip organizational leaders at any level to help their team leaders fully achieve self-determination and fulfillment, leading to greater value for the employer. Program participants will learn the fundamental elements of coaching, starting with our 8-Step Coaching Cycle, which provides an intentional framework for effectively leading leaders from current status to improved status as a leader.
In the Assessment section of the model, coaches will learn to make more meaningful connections with their coachees, gain clarity on goals and current inventory of leadership strengths and weaknesses, and gain commitment to a plan of action.
The Challenge stage stretches the thinking of the coachee. It pulls them to higher intentionality and clarity.
Finally, the support phase teaches coaches to help their coachee explore ideas and solutions, engage them in the thinking, and helps them be accountable through expectation. The coach and coachee then evaluate progress together along the way, and repeat the cycle.
In addition to the core model, participants will learn the ethical and legal dimensions of coaching, how to handle difficult coachees, how to use powerful questions to draw out and elevate the coachee’s best thinking, and how to lead the coachee through meaningful change toward more effective leadership.
To summarize, since coaching is such a powerful tool in the right hands, our theory holds that it cannot be left to chance, personality, or organic development alone. It must be learned, practiced, and operationalized. Coaching Leaders will teach your leaders the seminal skill set that will lead your team to greater effectiveness, deeper engagement, higher productivity, self-accountability, retention, continuity, and much more.
