Leader or Manager As Coach

Do you, as a leader and manager, want to stand above the crowd? This evidence-based course addresses the leadership coach, aiming to provide him or her with developmental process consulting tools. Such tools derive from evidence about adult development of both coach and client. They center on the coach’s ability to intervene with ways of ‘thinking’ that are systemic and holistic, as well as link the client’s performance to his or her present level of meaning making. The course is unique in that it transcends all presently taught behavioral approaches to leadership coaching.

The course combines Gateway self study with at least one of the two process consulting courses. It is followed by a live teleclass providing peer support and practice in addressing the client’s issues both cognitively, through dialectical thinking, and social-emotionally, through attention to the client’s meaning making. Being able to assess how far a client can think holistically and systemically is a pre-condition for modeling “better thinking” for him or her, and provides novel tools for challenging and broadening a client’s mind.

In order to function as coach, leaders need to know themselves. This self knowledge is best obtained by requesting one’s own developmental assessment prior to, during, or after Gateway self study (see http://interdevelopmentals.org/ services-assessment.php) Based on such an assessment, the leader is sufficiently self-reflective to take on a client’s issues, with an emphasis on Mind Opening. Mind opening is accomplished by using dialectical thought forms together with the Three-Houses framework that is learned in the cognitive process consulting course.
