Leadership Development

At LHH, we support organizations just like yours to meet your business goals through a range of coaching solutions and leadership development programs.

What is leadership development?

Leadership development is a journey an individual takes to better understand their strengths so they can leverage those strengths for enhanced performance in their role. It is a process of personal and professional discovery. Equally, leadership development aims at drawing individuals’ attention on their potential areas for improvement, which at times may prevent them from growing as a leader and from delivering the leadership impact they wish to have.

For organizations, leadership development is an investment in your employees. By doing so, you establish an environment in which your employees can develop and grow, which can benefit your organization in numerous ways.

By leadership development solutions to leaders, organizations can:

• Retain the best talent. Leaders recognize how beneficial leadership development is for their careers and their success and for thriving in the job they perform. By supporting them in their development, you are investing in them, and they recognize this. It will encourage your leaders to stay with you and grow in a way that makes sense for them and for your business.
• Build the talent your business needs. Leadership development supports your business strategy by helping your leaders and managers to acquire and to further develop the leadership competencies they need to deliver on your strategy.
• Build happier teams. Corporate culture is driven by the morale and attitudes of those at the top. By investing in your leaders, you raise their morale. This helps to raise the morale of other team members, which increases engagement and improves retention.
• Create better, more impactful leaders. The more impactful your managers, the more productive your employees, generally. Leadership development improves a leaders’ ability to make better decisions on behalf of the organization and to support their direct reports in the further development their own skills.

Individual leaders recognize the benefits exposure to a leadership development brings. They benefit by:

• Developing their skills and strengths to push them forward in their role and career.
• Having the time, space, support, and resources to make positive changes, both personally and professionally.
• Being offered the opportunity to stay up to date in their leadership practices.
• Performing at their best with their teams. Effective leadership increases team effectiveness. By empowering your leaders to reach their own potential they can bring out the best in their teams.

Who do we help?

Your leadership development interventions can be built around the four key career moments:

1. Integrate – when you recruit new leaders, we can help them build relationships and a productive and engaged working environment to drive performance
2. Elevate – when your leaders need a lift to drive themselves forward, we can support them to do so
3. Navigate –we help leaders learn how to organize and inspire others to help their teams reach output and performance targets
4. Accelerate – leaders who have what it takes to be great leaders are supported to reach their full potential

When you invest in your people – every organization’s greatest asset – you invest in your organization.

a. Team coaching

When is team coaching helpful?

• When functioning teams want to achieve common goals, add value and realise their potential.
• When functioning teams need to come together and work together in a new way
• When functioning teams need to bring out the best in themselves in order to work successfully, achieve goals and grow
• When functioning teams struggle to align on common goals and build good relationships with each other

Based on an assessment of the current state of the team and the desired and aspired future state, LHH will put together the appropriate coaching process for your team.

b. Group coaching

Group coaching sessions provide support to individuals (with or without leadership roles) with similar development needs. Group coaching provides a perfect blend of meeting the developmental needs of individuals and the valuable experience of learning with and through others. In group coaching, participants receive peer feedback and benefit from shared reflection with peers. In addition, group coaching fosters a developmental mindset, which is very important in today's ever-changing world.

Group coaching sessions are designed to meet the individual development needs of each group of people who need to reflect on and improve their leadership behaviour in order to be better equipped to meet the business challenges of their organisation and increase the engagement of their staff.

 

c. Creating a coaching culture

By creating a coaching culture in your organisation, you can:

• Train your employees faster and more smoothly
• Increase employee engagement
• Improve overall performance
• Develop staff and managers faster
• Develop a better feedback culture
• Promote self-reflection and self-awareness
