Coaching for People Managers

People Manager Coaching & Development Program

Program overview

Developing and sustaining high performing, productive and engaged business teams is one of the most difficult challenges in this era of digitalisation, hyper-connectivity and rapid change. The demands of the business in today's highly competitive and unpredictable environment also mean that People Managers are constantly challenged and pressured to deliver consistent exceptional results.

However, prolonged periods of intense pressure may result in underperformance, reduced quality of work, burnout and loss of motivation. In reality, this may not only affect People Managers, but also their teams.

 

Helping Leaders & Teams Thrive

About The Program

Elisan Partners provides a coaching solution specifically designed for People Managers to expand their practical leadership skills. This is to enhance their ability to engage, grow and sustain high-performing, effective and productive business teams. Our team-focused approach to coaching delivers greater results and impact (compared to individual coaching) and guarantees deeper engagement with every team member.

Our coaching, back-of-the-room and training support ensure People Managers are guided throughout their learning and practising journey to become more effective People Leaders and High Performing Team Developers.

practical and effective

Why develop People Managers' team development abilities?

Engaging People Managers on a team coaching and development plan creates a higher level of accountability for their team's development and ownership for the organisation's mission.

When People Managers participate in the process of learning and practising their team development skills, they are likely to gain more self-confidence, higher job motivation and deeper satisfaction with their organisation.

More importantly, coaching and facilitating their own teams will, over time, develop a higher level of leadership trust with the team itself.

for the long term

Why not hire an external expert to directly develop the teams?

Enabling People Managers with team coaching and development skills is more sustainable and cost effective in the long run.

When hired coaches or experts leave at the end of their contractual obligations, there is a tendency for a reversal of positive team behaviour without sustained leadership guidance and intervention.

Engaged People Managers who care about team development are also more likely to be concerned about developing and sustaining the organisation's broader culture in a positive way.

This coaching program is designed using progressive Agile leadership thinking and strategies, and people-centric work management methodologies.

We have also incorporated the most relevant and effective team coaching and facilitation techniques utilised by expert Agile coaches and organisational development specialists into the program.

Therefore, your People Managers will be assured of a high quality leadership and management education, and proven team coaching and facilitation skills that are applicable to the modern worker and business teams.
