PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT
Before we can successfully manage, lead and collaborate, we need to get along. Get along with our co-workers and those outside our organization with whom we need to make important connections. From that essential foundation we can make things happen.
Let’s talk if you work with a leader/manager who needs to change how they show up with others so that their relationships with their people and peers change for the better. Two examples:
- Abrasive managers. These are folks who harm their people psychologically. People don’t leave their jobs. They leave their managers and abrasives are the most hurtful ones out there. And they usually don’t think there’s a problem!
- And then there are leaders who need to change how they interact with their people as well as important partners. One way or another they are somehow not able to connect to others well on a personal level.
My unique Co-360 Assessment followed up with my coaching is a unique and effective way to help a manager see they need to change and then do so.
