If these are some of the leadership development issues you are grappling with, Leadership Coaching is your solution. Tice Consulting varies the approach according to your needs. For example, you may have a group of managers or high potentials who you’ve identified for development. Tice Consulting will help you select a leadership survey instrument and set up a program for targeted development using assessment and feedback, development planning, one-on-one coaching sessions and/or targeted group training.

Tice Consulting also works with individual managers and executives on a longer-term basis, using a three-phase process as outlined below. The process helps identify developmental needs and assists managers in developing new skills and/or in changing targeted behavior. The three-phase process involves:

Phase I – Assessment & Data Collection
This phase identifies the strengths and developmental needs of the client. It typically involves the use of three to five survey instruments (e.g. a 360 degree leadership survey, a personality survey, FIRO B, Thomas-Kilman Conflict Mode) and interviews with the coaching client, the client’s manager, the HR manager and up to five peers and/or subordinates.

Phase II – Feedback & Development Planning
This phase involves engaging the client in receiving the feedback and developing a developmental plan. The feedback is confidential and is owned by the client. The client and the client’s manager, however, jointly own the developmental plan. Once the client and the coach have developed the plan, the plan is presented to the client’s manager for review and organizational support.

Phase III – On-going Coaching Meetings with the Client
This phase involves maintaining the client's motivation to do the work of the development plan, by building skills and new behaviors. Typically the coach meets with the client twice monthly with weekly phone meetings in between.
