With this comes an openness to change aspects of their current behaviour, which will make them more effective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the work we do with managers increases their self-awareness. Particularly:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.Personal Profile Analysis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a very accurate psychometric analysis from Thomas International. Most people are amazed by the accuracy and willingly accept that it will benefit them to work on their limitations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. 360 Degree Feedback&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honest feedback from colleagues is powerful as it is based on how a person is perceived by those who work with them day in day out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Coaching&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our experienced coaches help draw out resourcefulness from the course participants. The coach helps them think through and remove mental barriers. Coaching also helps people see issues from different perspectives to aid better decision making. Importantly, it helps people commit to and be accountable for actions they agree to take. We help them walk their talk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By teaching managers coaching skills, they are then able to use this empowering leadership tool with their own teams.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8646108333822295428/6097538082617787601/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.dynamicleaders.co.uk/2009/02/when-others-are-losing-thier-heads.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8646108333822295428/posts/default/6097538082617787601'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8646108333822295428/posts/default/6097538082617787601'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.dynamicleaders.co.uk/2009/02/when-others-are-losing-thier-heads.html' title='Change needs awareness'/><author><name>mark barker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16653878647980880959</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
